March 3: Food for thought

Well this week has been a busy one.

Tuesday was of course pancake tuesday, i did not have any pancakes but began to think about upcoming lent and what i would give up.

For those heathen non-Catholics among our readers Lent is the period before Easter when you are supposed to sacrifice something. Why? I am not really sure..... but i have decided to give up chocolate and chips (crisps) - I can hear you all laughing at me now!!! But put the betting books away because i am determined to do it :)

Oh and by the way - I got a real job!!! Perhaps that should have been prioritised a little higher on the list than the chocolate, but anyway. It is a south London Hospital called Mayday University Hospital, I will be working in the Emergency Assessment Unit in the Emergency Department, still not 100% sure what i will be doing but it is a Physiotherapy job and it sounds interesting, and I am in the emergency departmetn so will hopefully get to see some cool/interesting stuff. The only down side is that it is quite a trek from where we are living, but this is the price you pay for getting your foot in the door.

So here is some food for thought....... As I am leaving my current job there will (as always) be a morning tea and here is what i want to know: Does choclate cake count as chocolate.... because it doesn't actually contain chocolate just cocoa which granted is an ingredient of chocolate couldn't be called chocolate. Because if chocolate cake does not count as chocolate then i can request it for my morning tea :)

Take care every one
love

PS Leena told me to explain to you all that Asian in UK means Indian, Pakistani, Sri Lankan etc and those that we would think of as being Asian are in fact Oriental.....)

PPS Gordo and Radford: I am sooooo excited that you guys are coming over, you can come and stay with us for a little while... while you are getting sorted. Woohoo!!!!
