I had never thought about eating marmite pasta (I remember seeing it on Nigella's show and thinking yuck) but actually I love both components so might try it now I have read so many people's posts on it here (or on MT who knows). Do you add oil or anything else?@Begborrowsteal - it sounds like a brilliant opportunity for you, but absolutely with you on the 'change is scary' front. Do the second interview, see how you feel after, and after all, not a prison sentence, if you start it and it doesn't work for you, then you can always walk away. I suspect, though, if you go for it, you'll find it a way to regain a bit of yourself.
Thank you all so much for thinking of me and all the lovely supportive posts. He's gone very quiet again, but I am refusing to worry so much this time, because I get that he needs to rest and just drift, and it's not his job to support me right now, so am just getting on with things. Sorry, too tired to go back and check names, but for those who asked, yep, daughter is all the teenage at the moment, so I know it's to be expected, but I don't know, hit me in the gut I guess.
There were other things I wanted to comment on, but completely lost track of them all. Can I give general love to everyone instead please?
I've also just had a bowl of marmite pasta, you know, just to be on topic. A nutritional step up from biscuits at any rate.
omg that all looks so cool, but especially the sourpatch!Our latest snack surprise box has arrived.
This month is Turkey! Another country I haven’t been to and know little about their snacks so that’s good.

You add some butter and cheese.I had never thought about eating marmite pasta (I remember seeing it on Nigella's show and thinking yuck) but actually I love both components so might try it now I have read so many people's posts on it here (or on MT who knows). Do you add oil or anything else?

It's butter, marmite and parmesan. I add a solid teaspoon of marmite for 120g of pasta, but Nigella is a lot more conservative, which probably brings it closer to the recipe for pasta with leftover roasting stock that it might well be inspired by, but I really like marmite, so I go for it. Nigella's quantities are here:I had never thought about eating marmite pasta (I remember seeing it on Nigella's show and thinking yuck) but actually I love both components so might try it now I have read so many people's posts on it here (or on MT who knows).

Erm you are not being a dickhead, nerves mean you care! Have been on the horrible PND train myself so totally get how you're feeling. I ended up being bullied back to work when the bairn was only a few months old, then being sneered at for having to pump and store my milk in the office fridge (where else was I going to put it?! It was only full of their shit beer and Pepperami anyway). I couldn't take it anymore, it was making me feel awful so I was signed off by the GP and found a four day a week job with a lovely, female-run business. Was the best decision ever and means I have the flexibility I want.@Flumps
The interview was brief, quite informal, but went well I think. If anything, it was a nice chat & a laugh. Its actually comical how anxious I get before an interview. Fully aware I'm being a dickheadteam sounds great, workload seems challenging but exciting.. so we shall see! I find out next week
I hope this doesn't come across creepy/stalkerish but if you ever feel like you need anything/someone to talk to IRL, remember I'm close by and am always here for you if you want!

I love Marmite so might try this with vegan spread, hopefully it won't get too claggyIt's butter, marmite and parmesan.

Spaghetti With Marmite
I came across this recipe in Anna Del Conte's memoirs, Risotto with Nettles. Now, there are so many recipes I could borrow from her, and many I have, but this is the one I have to show you here. She introduces it as hardly a recipe, but I wanted to include it because I haven't as yet found a...www.nigella.com
Mine are (for one):
120g pasta
1tsp marmite
Lump of butter
Fuck-ton of parmesan
She has complicated (relatively) instructions that involve melting the marmite and butter in a pan with a tbsp of pasta liquid while pasta is cooking. I just cook, then drain the pasta, reserve a little cooking water in the pan, throw the marmite and butter in and stir until it's all coating the pasta, then add the parmesan. I don't like extra pans when I can get away with not using them.
It’s good with a huge sprinkle of nutritional yeast!I love Marmite so might try this with vegan spread, hopefully it won't get too claggy
Urgh it was an agency full of 22 year old man babies, I was the eldest there because I was - gasp! - in my thirties, and one of the few women in management. Leadership team were all David Brent types, absolute toilet of a workplace.Beer in a work fridge!
Sending all the PNDIt’s awful.
ooh I think I will try this this week , my partner is not British and has never tried Marmite.. I am excited for his reactionIt's butter, marmite and parmesan.

oh god I had my bottom two grow in ok (ish, fucked up my teeth a bit) but my top ones will have to be removed, I am shitting myself. Also they have been growing for like 20 years, I was hoping it would never happen. ugh why are we designed with so many flawsExtra teeth talk is. I’ve only had two wisdom teeth removed.
omg I *asked* for the second wisdom tooth to get removed - only one had impacted but it was so easy and painless I just thought I've spent the last few days sweating profusely in fear so may as well get them both out now! Also ngl did think buy one get one freeThat is just, NOT ok!!
I had mine removed, I asked for it to be done at the hospital. Blergh.
did they do the impacted one in local or general anasthetic (sorry to everyone who hates the teeth stories) my top ones both are and i am terrified.omg I *asked* for the second wisdom tooth to get removed - only one had impacted but it was so easy and painless I just thought I've spent the last few days sweating profusely in fear so may as well get them both out now! Also ngl did think buy one get one free
I just bought something off Very, I've always been really wary because I know someone who ended up getting a £200 bill for a £30 dress years ago?! I've worked with ppl who've come out of their huge data dept and heard they make more on interest than they do on product so it's just always seemed a bit of a scary place to me. Anyway checking out - firstly their website is fucking amazingly done from an eComm PoV, but the checkout is SO cheeky all the ~website cues~ like big green buttons etc lead you towards the credit option, so if you're skimming through check out (especially likely if you're a busy mum which feels like a huge part of their demog?) you could easily end up taking out credit accidentally?! It's really fucking bad of them, but I didn't have a choice to go elsewhere for this item!! Don't know why I'm sharing this just shocked, the shameless bastards!

I am always intrigued about the power of breast milk turning people into dickheads because they are so afraid of it! Your story sounds similar to my friends and to this day she still works there but I have no idea how she got through it. She is a surveyor and would be on building sites pumping milk and then storing it in the fridge in the portacabin. Men would open in the fridge and gasp in horror.Erm you are not being a dickhead, nerves mean you care! Have been on the horrible PND train myself so totally get how you're feeling. I ended up being bullied back to work when the bairn was only a few months old, then being sneered at for having to pump and store my milk in the office fridge (where else was I going to put it?!

I couldn't take it anymore, it was making me feel awful so I was signed off by the GP and found a four day a week job with a lovely, female-run business.

Both of mine were impacted, done under GA.did they do the impacted one in local or general anasthetic (sorry to everyone who hates the teeth stories) my top ones both are and i am terrified.
About the Very thing, that is crazy, how are things like this not illegal?!
I learned recently that the reason (this was not from a dentist so I am prepared to learn otherwise) was that they were like replacement teeth as in the past (as in 1000s years ago) most people would lose a lot of teeth, so these teeth would effectivly be a replacement and wouldn;t grow where they do today, but more in the front (luckily it is only 4 as imagine another entire set of teeth...) The body is so fascinatingI just find it really weird that our bodies know to produce extra teeth between the ages of 17 and 21 a full ten years after you start growing your adult teeth.
