Suppliers who ask if I'm married to the other Taylor in this company... Taylor is not than an uncommon surname!! :( Would I still mind if he were attractive? Had any sense of humour? Taste?

Yes.

They suggested I use my mother's maiden name but it is no longer suitable for todays society.

Also... suppliers who call me sir! Really??

I have one! It's noisy but is fantastic for day to day vacuum sessions (cat hates it) meaning I only have to drag the cleaner around once a week.

I really want two - and get them to battle!

So easy to spill. Coffee this time. 30 minutes to clean up and change clothing. Big red area on leg- I will know later if it bubbles, but I think not. Left leg is the one with no temperature sensation- today that is good.

I don't have any little things that annoy me. Everything that annoys me is huge. For example, i can no longer straighten my index finger fully for a proper job of picking boogers out of my nose. That is huge.

breaking the last egg... it was the end of the world - that was when I realised how much 'control' i had lost
when the med secs refuse your prescription yet again, and you have to wait while it has to be reviewed AGAIN, and finally its signed off and then the next time, it gets refused again, and you.......
