I bought some cross stitch kits this weekend. Currently about 1/3 of the way through the largest one, which looked the easiest after opening them all and reading the instructions. It actually looks quite good, is keeping my hands busy and is working my brain a bit as I try to keep track of all the little boxes.

My second interview went well, and lasted almost another 90 minutes. They haven't let me know yet as they have been super busy and not had a chance to reference me. It all seemed very positive, however i don't think I will take the job. I may kick myself in a few months when i don't have any other offers, or I get made redundant, but it just doesn't feel like the right move. They seem nice enough people, but I keep thinking that I don't want to be pigeon-holed as a recruitment administrator. They are not offering me anything I can't get at my current role, and it would mean that I couldn't move jobs again for at least 1 - 2 years. I am also not keen on the resourcing aspect, it makes me wonder what the consultants are meant to be doing all day.

I had another allergic reaction last night as i went to bed. Wheezy,rattling breathing and coughing, at some points I made this quite interesting whistling noise. Da Hubs was asking me at what point in these reactions he should call the ambulance service. I hope that they won't ever come on so fast and strong that i can't make that decision for myself ( i take after my Mother in not wanting to bother Dr's with stuff). Today i am still a bit wheezy and when i cough I get this strange metallic taste in my mouth.
It's the fact I have no idea what is causing the reaction that I find unsettling. I can see no common aspect other than the area we live in. DH even suggested Asbestos as the cause! He obviously does not know much about asbestos. Our flat is a reasonably new build, ie within the last 10 years i would think.
