Louise Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Thanks Lesley. Because I am not online at home I do have a nice tidy house but I am sure if I did have access to this in the evenings My office looks like a bombsite we have just finished the appraisal process and the forms are meant to be with HR today and I still have 5 outstanding I really need the shovel even if its just to dig my way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Sheila, if possible don't put lenses back in that you've used when you have conjuctivitous, this doesn't count if you use daylies obviously. You really risk getting the infection straight back. My optician is very strict about such things and says with an infection you should wait at least seven days after starting treatment, he prefers 14, and then start afresh with new lenses, lens case and solution as you can't be too sure where the infection came from or what's got contaminated Believe me I speak from experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Thanks Trish..I didn't mean to make a thing of the eyes; just how dim could I be putting in 2 lenses You're right, although I did change to new pack of lenses (they're monthlies) perhaps I didn't put old ones in bin. Very dim then. Good tip thanks, eyes are so precious. I'm going to be really careful now. Went to theatre this eve.....kept nodding off though....v.good play but tired eyes just kept shutting. Could be an age thing....or leaping out of bed at 6.20 so excited to see chooks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Dunno what you mean Sheila, I've managed to just put in one lense and was waiting for the bus before I realised I couldn't see properly. I then spent about an hour trying to adjust a lense that wasn't even in my eye, before I finally realised what I'd done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Well, if only I knew where to find my sunglasses. Wouldn't look out of place as its soooo sunny today, then no one would be scared seeing my red eyes. It does look as if I've been drinking too much. Which I haven't.

Lesley Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Thanks Sheila - I'm having a problem remembering which ones I've used from the book and some are just not suitable for all you young things On Wednesdays I overhear the engineers discussing what idiocies peolpe have been telling them or questions customers have asked and I often sit there thinking "What's wrong with asking that!" , so today's words of wisdom:- Make it Idiot proof - and someone will make a better Idiot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 .............. for all you young things Make it Idiot proof - and someone will make a better Idiot Now that is definitely true. In the same vein as childproof, or too complicated for me; can easily be done by a 9 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Today I learned:- Don't confuse Chilli with Paprika and dip finger and lick - especially not with two children who thought they'd do the same Jake asked for Paprika and as I was sprinkling it on his dinner thought I'd better check - they copied me straight away from the spoon on the table and we spent ages with our tongues in glasses of water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Sorry for hijacking your topic Lesley but Ihave learned an important lesson this week Stepping on your glasses is not only an expensive thing to do but it gives everyone a good laugh at your expense including the young lad at the opticians helping to choose the replacements I am here potentially giving myself a blinding headache trying to see the screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Tip from a Home Economics teacher...fatty substances such as milk are quicker at easing the burning sensation in the mouth from chillies than water....don't think it will help if you rub your eyes after preparing chillies or going for a wee if your a male chef (ouch!) if you see what I mean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Thanks Helen - although I don't intand there to be another time!

Louise Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Hi Lesley, I was off yesterday afternoon to get new specs and I am today £125 lighter and the new ones will be ready today but i will pick them up on Thursday I was so cross with myself. The other thing is one afternoon off and I am snowed under today it just doesn't seem worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 19, 2005 Author Share Posted April 19, 2005 Louise - I've always had the sort of job which "Ooops, word censored!"ody will touch while I am away but when other people were away I used to cover for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 I have just been very busy today in fact this is me only just getting time to catch up.

buffie Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) Well I have learnt to practice what I preach! I preach "you can do it". So yesterday I Spent 2 hours, with my Katie Boxer who is now going for op in about a week, looking for a supplier of chicken feed etc. Got lost after naff directions from AA website. Gave up last night and thought will call the lovely woman I spoke to yesterday and tell her I will wait to visit when Michael can drive. Decided, during this conversation, to give it another go with better directions! Found it and feel great, no chickens until friday but have some bits and bobs that say " Yes, I have chickens!" I love that satisfied glow that achievement of any kind can bring! B x Edited April 19, 2005 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
