Business As Usual - Well Almost.
After the best CIN Drive and Dine thus far, thanks to everyone ramping up their extraordinary efforts your genial breakkie show host was voiceless come Sunday night.
I suspected this might happen, and so booked the Monday off in an uncharacteristic display of forethought.
Little did I realise though by how much my larynx would desert me. It literally took the day off too, leaving things very late before reappearing at around 4 a.m. this morning.
I actually set the alarm early so I could check there was any sign of life in the old vocal chords. Croaky? Yes, but no more than that. And sure to be loud and proud for Jonny's last show on Friday.
Any tips on how not to cry in public very welcome.

Chris if you find out how not to cry in public do share please. I got a bit teary on Sunday afternoon when I watched a 1940's singer sing "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" the song my dad use to sing to me when I was a kid.
Dad's still here with us but he had a bad car accident 4 years ago which has left him in a wheelchair and I got a bit emotional remembering that little moment.
Luckily had my son glasses on and could blame it on hay fever (even though I dont suffer) to hide it.
Funny how a simple thing like a song can catch your breath isnt it.
Have a good day everyone

Glad that Drive & Dine went ticketybooooo - how was Paolo? And Paloma? And James?
Roll on November when we bloggers invade R2HQ and do our bit for CiN. So we can't afford to take part in the auction but we can donate our time to a very worthy cause. And it's not an easy day by any means .....!
Not looking forward to Johnny's last show on Friday. I trust the team have had a whip round and that Mr Saunders will be duly presented with the obligatory bottle of Jacobs Creek.
Kind of getting used to working part-time. My afternoon "To Do" list is making me wonder how I managed to work full time in the first place.

The more I think about what Johnny is going to do the more admiration I have for him. I know quite a lot of teachers both in primary and secondary and as much as I rib them about the long holidays, I wouldn't swap places with them at all. I know by this time of year they are exhausted and counting down the days.
Go Johnny :)
Chris, to stop yourself crying in public you press the finger nails of one hand into the palm of the other; I heard Esther Rantzen say that once.

I just had an ordinary day today, the weather is too changeable for the prom and so I went to the local park. They call it a park but it's a playing field with a couple of trees, a bowling green and a swing & seesaw. Still I enjoyed going along the path on my scooter, I would have loved to have had a go on the swing but thought I had better act my age.
I'm looking forward to my day out and meal very soon when others are not working. I won't be acting my age then, I intend embarrassing them LOL!

Maybe by putting your efforts into something worthy instead of niggling away at me morning, noon and night you will eventually become a better person.

First thing's first, the VA business to get off the ground. My work hours were cut very recently which shocked me somewhat so rather than try to get another part-time job and go through the trials and tribulations of job interviews, I figured why not work for myself doing something I am very good at. I've worked as a secretary/PA for some 24 years now so that seemed obvious.
The Nutrition Diploma is about two thirds complete. I'm hoping to be able to offer freelance nutritional counselling when I qualify - it's not all about weight loss. There's allergies, eating disorders, intolerancies, underweight people ..... I think in order to get experience I may have to do some voluntary clinical work at the outset.
All very exciting and very very scary!

I had my hours cut too back in April, so I found another job and called their bluff, it worked and I am back to my old hours. I would love to re-train but unfortunately home committments determine otherwise.
Nutrition is a mine field now days, when I was growing up I dont remember anyone having nut allergies or wheat intolerances, but there is so much to know now days.
The other half has diverticular and no gall bladder, so his diet is high fibre, low fat. Phew!!!! hard work to begin with but we have got there. That's part of the reason we have the allotment and grow our own stuff now, we now where it comes from.
Voluntary work that will be interesting and will give you some fabulous experience, its all going on for you and sounds very exciting not scary - I like to think of it as different.

I'm getting anxious! There are two new people moving into my office the week after next and they came in today to measure up to make sure that what they were bringing would fit. Now I am quite OCD about things and unfortunately I will be on holiday the day they move in, so am dreading coming back and finding out what they have done.

Just wanted to send you my version of Shepherds Pie so it might move you to make this most glorious comfort food. Cook in a frying pan minced beef using lager or beer at least one bottle. Once mince is cooked add large pieces of mushrooms and thickly cut white onions and finely sliced courgette.Add lots of sage and pepper. Let it simmer for a while and thicken with gravy granules. Put in a large dish and add on top mashed potatoes. Cook the potatoes and mix in up to half a pack of butter and some sour cream and then mash and then whisk until fluffy. Put in oven to brown. Serve with Asparagus. Try it...it tastes beautiful (nb: slightly fattening!). Brilliant show don't ever leave! Gill

I can't take this talk of chocolate any longer. I love it but developed an allergy to it when I was in hospital at Easter, had to give away my Easter eggs.
Deevs-I will come to you when you get started for help in sorting out this problem.
I do, however, like CLP's talk of shepherd's pie. I've had it twice this week, a lovely home made one I hasten to add, not the frozen ready meal. I made an extra portion as Bingo was calling here but he'd already eaten out and so I had it again the next day.

PS Now thinking of chocolate cherry liquors! Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I figure I am allowed that amount of butter as I don't like chocolate! Not that I shall ever attempt to enter any cooking competitions (Masterchef having gone beyond the capabilities of 99% of the British people) but you have to do Lamb shanks in the Slow cooker...melt in the mouth. Also need a campaign to get Chris Evans to do the Friday Drive time..I miss him so much on that he started the weekend. Never known anyone so positive.

Debs, congratulations to your wee girl - what a star.
Errol, how do I get G&B to send me chocolate? And am so jealous you saw Seasick Steve - I love him.
Loved Chris and Jonny's attempt at the Geordie accent this morning. Not quite right, but not a bad try.

Talking of butter Gill - has anyone got room on their kitchen windowsill for some herbs? Or does no-one know what I'm talking about?

Just for information, the only person who can appeal about a post or posts that have been removed is the person who is affected. ie the person who posted.
I hope that anyone who has a post or posts removed will appeal
Annie, I've got herbs in the garden but I think I'm missing something here.
Debs, missed your daughter's news. Well done to her
Ali, good luck with the new office buddies. My friend has just had to stage a recovery bid when her new office buddy nicked her desk!

Jill, I really think you need help and by coming on here chasing one person you are making all our lives a misery. I think you need help and wish you no harm.
Lets get to the facts of real life, my husband is covering the Police Bravery Awards tomorrow, these are the real people in this world that help all of us, unlike you that keeps coming on here complaining on how badly you are treated on this blog, twitter and FB.

I think that every time we mention her, refer to her or try to "speak" to her, we are only inflaming the situation
CSN, I bet your husband will hear some fantastic tales of courage and bravery tonight. I often think of him when I see big events like that are going on and wonder if he is there

Thank you Sezza, sorry I didn't mean to be rude to you earlier by not replying to your post. It will be a very long working day for Mr CSN tomorrow but will be lovely to hear all the stories of how brave these people are and what a wonderful job they do for all of us.

Apologies for my absence (again) I am currently attending a course! A from the heart course to keep me sane! Well they are trying hard anyway. Lol
I have spent the last couple of day in a retreat in Devon exploring me and the inside of my head. This is linked to my job and what I have to do from time to time, kind of duty of care I guess.
I do hope all is well in blog land, I will have a scan read back through the entries to catch up. ;-)
