:rofl:

I thought the funniest part of this situation is that now the two are arguing about the duration of this torrid affair. Gavin said it was a one-off affair while Marilyn claims it went on for 5 years. From the picture in the link, my question is...... who was the catcher in that relationship :rofl:

Yuck, sorry to hear about the hives, Maven. At least you didn't have to stay in hospital for too long.

On a lighter note, I got the job!! It won't be starting for a few weeks as I need to have my license, but I'll be working full-time at a hospital and prison. The best thing is that it comes with full benefits which means me and my husband can finally have health insurance (it's 100% paid). So I'm in a non b1tch mood today I'm afraid, just happy. :D

Congrats on getting the job! :dance: :dance: :dance:

Glad to see that it works out in the car department, too. As long as you pass the test, that is. :whistle:

I have a rant!!! I was so excited to find a custard tart at the local grocery store the other day! I took it home and served it after a lovely Sunday roast with yorkshire puds and BOY was I disappointed. It tasted nothing LIKE a custard tart. It even had tons of shredded coconut in it. WTH? :bonk:

On a brighter note, I have found a shop called The British Pantry which is not far from me. I have high expectations. :)

Many thanks to everyone who has wished me a speedy recovery. :) I'm improving but still suffering from the hives and itching; the meds I have to take knock me out and I can't drive too much because of that. The other night I took them before David and I went out to dinner and I had to have him escort me from the table to his car after we were done because I couldn't walk without assistance. Everyone I work with has been lovely and understanding, which has helped.

Gemmie -- congratulations! So happy for you.star_smile.gif

Rob -- any of that custard tart left? You know you could bring some of it over here when you're done with work.tongue.gif
