I sensed you might be the lady to provide me with a victim! ;D Yeah, it was a good one, good fun Awww, that's not so good then...although Bill Murray always raises a smile in that. Did you wake up feeling cleansed and ready to grasp life with both hands? I felt much better after. It was like the final exorcism of the crappy year and I felt ready to fondle Gethin Jones from Strictly Come Dancing (but I always have that urge) ;D Are you sure you haven't been possessed by some kind of evil spirit if you're having those kind of urges?

So you're covered for the latest bout. Eeek 9 periods with mostly just one day doesn't look good. Do you have a sickness policy at work? Yeah. There was one instance where I was off two days because a minor cold came back. Actually I think it's 9 days. I must check though before I get sent anywhere. I know it sounds a lot but seriously, the buses I take to work, nobody ever covers their damn mouths when they cough or sneeze, I'm surprised I don't catch more colds! Don't blame the peasant wagons you just need to toughen up. I prescribe a dip in the Atlantic.

today...it's just an annoyance really, rather than a manic craving. It coudl be worse. Will you be my virtual support group? Si's going through the chewing gum here like rationing's about to be introduced...he's not much good, bless him! I totally know what you mean, you start thinking "why should I quit?!" and want to stamp your foot?! Yeah I'll try to help I have some of the gum but I've been trying not to use it - or I'll end up having to kick the gum!

Nice to moan at you, H and Jules, tatty-bye!

I'm on will-power alone, but given I already use it all on not biting my nails... Right, laters

Don't blame the peasant wagons you just need to toughen up. I prescribe a dip in the Atlantic. I'm not a tender flower! I dunno, I DO blame those buses though, it's always filthy on them. Never had that problem when I lived outside London... I must watch my tongue though... can't really say anything about the people

I know it sounds a lot but seriously, the buses I take to work, nobody ever covers their damn mouths when they cough or sneeze, I'm surprised I don't catch more colds! If it's any help, I got spoken to about absenteeism a few years back and sent to speak to the company doctor - I think I had 7-8 days off that year, which the company didn't like. Essentially, I was told to make more of an effort to come in when I was ill, and that he didn't hope to see me again, because then there'd be real trouble - never mind that the vast ramp-up of illness that year was a mix of weakened immune system and stress, hey? I'd assume you'll get much the same, though how intelligent, "Make more effort to come in when you're ill" is as advice, I'm not sure... I always thought you should stay home to make sure you don't pass it round the whole office?

Totally It's stupid, but I suppose I can't get angry about it either...

It's like when bosses (and, indeed, schools) say, "We'd rather you came in late than not at all" - what utter bullshit! Tell us the truth, and we'll play by the rules
