hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllloooo

Hi gorgeous, is there an echo?

Sorry can't chat right now...expected to work

Can I check in with you later say 4 hours time?

Alright handsome but i'll be keeping a eye on the time

so...why the change of venue?

Long story...got time?

Yep, I'm back at my desk till knock-off.

Basically I was talking to someone, just normal chit chat, told him that I was in a relationship, very happy in it...that sort of stuff. We e-mailed back and for and for no reason, out of the blue he was mailing me stuff which was totally mad. When I was off for 3 days last week, I came back in and had 182 e-mails waiting for me.

It freaked me out so I've sent a email to delete my other page and set this up.

eerrrr that's a bit sad

Did you have a nice break?

Yes and no, I spent much of it down the hospital with my uncle. How was your weekend?

Hope everything's OK...?????

I had a nice weekend...Saturday was Annie's birthday so I got her a huge bag of goodies from the Body Shop and Lush...all weekend she was coming to me and saying "smell this"

Sunday was an early Christmas with the in-laws because the kids are going to my brothers next weekend till New Year..Annie and I join them there Christmas Eve

I don't like the body shop as much as I use to but I LOVE Lush products, the Karma range is a big fave of mine....it smells gorgeous. Good choice that man!!!!!!

As for my uncle, he's very ill at the moment, he suffered a serious heart attack just over two weeks ago. The doctors think he also has a smaller one previous to that. He's been quite ill the last week because they found a blood clot and even though they were treating him it wasn't going away. It seems to be working the last few days so with a bit of luck it will go and he will then have a 4 x by-pass but he has not been eating and the doctors were worried because they need to build him up for such a big operation.

karma soap and butter, a citrus? soap and oceansalt face scrub

I bought Annie a perfume years ago called Caravan or Caravanserai...huge hit..and karma reminded me of it so I knew I was on a winner but your congratulations are a bonus

nice of you to help...hope your uncle gets better

I hope he does as well. You seem a bit distracted???

Sorry gorgeous you dont miss anything do you?

I must admit my head is all over the place...I've been given some extra jobs and I'm at the mulling stage at the moment, trying to fit the pieces, how I'll do this and do that and writing notes.

But I promise I'll concentrate!!!!

You had better!!!

I'm a bit frazzled 2, but thankfully I have tonight off and then back in Tuesday night for another 3......it just doesn't get any better..

"it just doesn't get any better" I take it that was sarcasm.

You've already done two shifts and this is yout third? (this is monday afternoon for me, most of the week ahead of me rather be )

I still got another 2 12 hour night shifts ahead of me....36 hours in 3 days is not far off a full working week for sum. Think about it, I do 72 hours every other week.

yeah its scary...i really dont know how you do it...i wouldnt have the stamina especially swapping backwards and forwards each fortnight..you must be able to sleep!?

I can sleep any time, any place at all. I have no problem at all, although I must stop watching cartoons when I get home in the morning.

It is pretty tough and you would think we would be use to it but you just don't. Sure I can sleep but I think if I slept the same time at normal people I would feel alot better than I do.

My health sure has suffered since I have been working nights. Plus as in any other office enviroment, it only takes one person to have a bug or cold and every bugger else gets it as well.

certainly offices and especially air conditioning spreads a lot of bugs and if you arent sleeping 100% your immunity is going to be down...on the other hand you never would have meet me
