Didn't book a sicky?????smiley - yikes Whats wrong with you man!!!!????

smiley - laugh

I could give you a list of instances where you wouldn't harm you back at all, but thats probably what got me into this mess in the first place.....smiley - doh

Are you taking any painkillers? When I broke my ribs about 6 weeks ago I was given what can only be described as 'Horse Tranquilizers'....I was so high for 4 days I was convincing my self they were for a horse and my Dr had just stepped out of the simpsons! smiley - laugh The reason I would find that particularly funny is that my Dr's first Name is Nicholas.....smiley - winkeye


Nope last time I was baking there were no problems at all smiley - zen which is why I am convinced this smiley - cupcake is of the feminine persuasion.... Only a bloody woman could cause this many problems!! smiley - winkeye

My diet consists of fruit, mashed potato (nothing in it) and Jacobs Cream crackers if I'm feeling adventurous...smiley - wah

Just on cocodamol type stuff for the antiinflammatory effects. Not a big fan of painkillers for muscle strain pain since if I can;t feel it, I don;t know when I am making it worse!

I had about 15 days sicky last year. Actually, that's not true. I had less than 12 but our place only counts full days. So even if I booked half a day, they say I was sicky all day. Hence why I don;t want to book sicky. Luckily my manager is in on it smiley - smiley

Are you one to determine what colour the smiley - cupcake is before it is ready or do you prefer the surprise?

I see your point... I suppose the temptation to do more if you think it doesn't hurt could result in a more painful back....smiley - erm

I hate surprises.... I like to be able to plan things and I like planning stuff too smiley - ok from a practical point of view I can buy everything in advance or be really happy because I already have everything from the first baking! smiley - biggrin

And if you think about it, the suprise only lasts for a little while, during the time you are informing everyone the colour of the smiley - cupcake, then its like...

S*it..... my cupcake will be in yellow, white or green icing for the next 3 months while we sort out the icing of the cupcake storage...


(stop me if this gets confusing smiley - laugh)

no, no, fully understandable.And you you never know, it might end up being a and not a smiley - cupcake at all smiley - winkeye Sorry, non-PC joke there!

smiley - rofl My brother is Gay I'll have to tell him that one, he'll wet himself! smiley - rofl

Weeeelllll, we're not sure if its only 1 smiley - cupcake will definately be confirmed on August 13th, so cross your fingers that it is a single baking experience! smiley - biggrin

Yep smiley - cupcake knows bless him, very excited indeed smiley - boingsmiley - boing

Don't know if he'll be all that excited if the smiley - cupcake wakes him up though smiley - winkeye

I had another idea about your back..... you could find someone to carry you about all day, preferably on some kind of throne... That might ease the aching smiley - silly

ah, this'll be my first use of the smiley - footinmouth smiley then!
smiley - winkeye
Cool, think the hardest thing with the second smiley - cupcake is how it goes with the first smiley - cupcake. But I have found, from friends and sisters baking experiences I admit!, that allowing the 1st smiley - cupcake to feel they are assistant baker helps a lot. Although then you eventually get the problem with the second smiley - cupcake wanting to usurp the first as the deal of the day.
smiley - headhurts
Oooh, it must be exciting for you! One of the things I hold the most respect for is those with a the responsibility of baking Probably because I have yet to find someone willing to let me anywhere near their kitchen (am I carrying this too far yet?) but financial success, power, peer group adulation, all these pale as nothing in my mind to the satisfaction and acheivement of creating (and I think that is the right word) a worthy and respected smiley - cupcake.
sermonising over smiley - winkeye

As for me back, well, thing is, I'm now fine providing I don;t sit down for too long. Or go to sleep!

smiley - rofl nope its very funny.....

now if I said 'why? are you no good in the kitchen?'...... that would be taking it too far... smiley - laugh

Bless you, someone I'm sure will eventually be daft enough to let you lose at some point smiley - winkeyesmiley - hug

Well my first smiley - cupcake will be nearly 7 when I've finished baking, so should have matured somewhat....*gulp* hopefully...

No need to use the smiley - footinmouth smiley, my brother was in absolute fits! smiley - biggrin

Hows your back this week? smiley - smiley

no, backs fine these days (touch wood), although my neck is a bit sore at the moment. But then that could have something to do with going down the local rock club, drinking beer and ending up in the mush pit for a couple of hours. Oh well, was fun.
So you all set for christmas yet? I have bough 1.5 presents. Well, actually I haven;t, i've just gone in with other family memebers to buy joint presents. But that's more than i normally manage by now smiley - winkeye

smiley - laughGood ol' mosh pits.... they keep our country chiropractors in Mercedes y'know smiley - winkeye

I've actually just about finished mine *smug grin* and the only people I haven't bought for I know what I'm getting them and it will only take a phone call! smiley - biggrin

I did cheat this year and very sadly started my shopping in September getting bits and pieces, and I've done an awful lot of my shopping on the internet! Good ol amazon has really come up trumps for me this year! smiley - boing

Are you taking leave during Christmas or are you going to humbug your way throughout the festive season? smiley - winkeye

hello, all ready now are you? Hope so ! I finish work today so have 2 glorious days of freedom, 3 days ish of putting up with the family (which is not true, but only cos I get to see my niece and nephews) before another week off and then back to work next year (sounds so much better that way!).
So, all the shopping done and sitting at home with feet up and being molly coddled I hope?
