Slow week

It’s been a very quiet week. First off I’m only here 3 days (hurrah!) and b there’s been nothing going on. I’m trying to rack my brain to think of what may have occurred in the past 2 days and I’m not coming up with much. Hence the lack of blogging, as you know I don’t like to clog for bloggings sake but I also hate to think that you felt I was neglecting you.

How about a little news update….

Well it was Andre’s birthday at the weekend which automatically means cake. And in Andre’s case it means 2 fuck off massive home made cakes. Chocolate this time with the biggest slab of icing ever. I had to eat it in 2 sittings as it was so sweet it made my wisdom teeth ache and my sinuses tingle. All natural ingredients then Andre? Hmmmm? She was on holiday in some European country last week with her mother (who I don’t think had left the M25 in 40 years let alone got on an Easyjet flight) to see the opera. Of course. She got so worked up telling me about it she spat a bit over the cake she was wheeling about, ew. Luckily I already had my slice in front of me and a safe spitting distance from her. Didn’t mention it to Kirstie or Ginger who may have had some extra flavouring in their pieces…

Kirstie reached an all new whinging world record yesterday as well. It was quite phenomenal that I was actually impressed rather than pissed off at times. The big sighs and “what the fuck does this person want?” before she answers the phone and “well when I am still here at 7.30pm…” comments were in full swing. Thank christ they are getting an assistant for her, well temporarily anyway. We got this girl’s CV through and she apparently has a 1st in law and was top of her class every year running with a place with some massive law firm lined up for March. I think Kirstie feels slightly intimidated but as I pointed out the chick’s only been in work a year and just because she’s a boffin doesn’t mean she has any common sense. In fact I sometimes find that smart folk have none whatsoever. Maybe they have to get rid of it to make room for more smarts? She starts next week so I’ll let you know how that goes and if her tea making skills are up to scratch.

The netball co-captain, getting married, crazy lady is er getting married! At last! This Friday so she’s off this afternoon and we had a bit of lunch with her to wish her luck….I mean all the best. She spent most of the lunch talking (surprisingly enough) about how stressed she was about everything and how she had been drinking in the evenings to deal with this. Hmmmmm, possibly not the best tactic for someone who got so hammered at the rounders BBQ social on 3 shandies. Her fiancee’s Irish gyppo family are coming over today and I think they’ve started on the whisky already. I’m sure it will be an interesting day and I look forward to seeing the photo’s on Face Book if the hen do snaps were anything to go by.

And now for the weather….
