The End...

... No not of my blog, although sometimes I'll look at it & think 'how long since I last blogged on here??' No, the end has come, the end of Tart working for us.

I have to admit, I am crushed. I half hoped she would bounce in and announce that no, they weren't moving all the way across Britain & in fact they are staying but of course, that didn't happen. We'll keep in touch via phone & email & lots of visits, she is one of my best friends and I'm priviliged to know her.

Doesn't stop me from missing her and stomping around work growling at everyone though.

So bye Tart. Have a nice life in sunny Kent. Don't forget about us back here in rainy Bristol. I love you.

Happy Belated New Year to you all...

... and what a shitty start to 2008 it has been!

Jan 1st - My good friend Z Grampy died in his sleep. He had been unwell for a short time but his death was still a shock to everyone. He bought up Z & her brother when her mum died when Z was 11. Z was stuck in Australia & literally has only just been able to get home so she is even more so devastated that she couldn't be here for him.

Jan 3rd - now - I have been constantly ill. No surprises there. It started with a bad head cold which turned into sickness & the runs which then turned into a fever complete with aches in places I didn't know you could get aches and has ended back to where it began, a bad head cold. My head hurts even if I move my eyes. I would give the earth to be able to wake up one morning without sandpaper in my throat & a river of sludge up my nose.

Jan 11th - My friend had a car accident. She is fine but her car is not. Looking at her car it could have been a lot worse, she is very lucky. I also lost my phone & with it all my contacts. If you asked me at the time I would have sworn someone had chopped my arm off. I have it back now, courtesy of my brother & Sainsburys, they found it in a puddle. It doesn't work, obviously.

Tart is leaving me. She is starting a new life all the way across the country with her new Hubby. Work will be so damn quiet without her.

2008? Leave me alone!
