Christmas Parteeee!!!

[mudskipper]

MrMac and I are both booked (separately!) into Hotel Indigo London Tower Hill - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor

0.5 miles from CH assuming that's where we do end up - HyperD has volunteered to ring them.

£130 - 10% off (£117) if you book with Expedia's mobile (cr)app and use code MOBILEEXCLUSIVE10

(There is a MOBILE20FIRST for £20 off your first booking, but it didn't work for me - probably because it's not my first booking...)

Damn, that's the same night as my client's do (they have invited me to it)

I'd much rather go with them anyway than go with a bunch of random strangers on some internet forum

Maybe next year though...

Another IR35 fail

Another IR35 fail

I was dead chuffed when clientco sent out a message to all and sundry about the Christmas party. At the top is said something like "If you are a contractor please ignore this email as you're not invited".

Got a copy for "posterity"

Can't they find out?

Yes, they gave me some pills that help and if it doesn't go away in a month then they will do further experiments on me.

I was invited but I turned it down as it wasn't billable.

A decent quack would have tested for Candida albicans, as this is cause of a lot of ulcers, is easily treatable with antibiotics and the test is cheap to do.

In fact, you can do a kind of home test by gobbing in a glass of water and leaving it for 20 minutes.

I think you mean H-Pylori. Candida albicans is a yeast infection.

Both actually.

A word of advice from Dr Owly - If you drink filter coffee, STOP NOW. Stick to instant coffee or tea, and never touch filtered coffee again!

Anything granular, like coffee grains or even pepper, can cause havoc with the digestion as the effects are concentrated at tiny sites.

Both actually.

But antibiotics make candida albicans worse, and H-Pylori better.

No wonder you're always sick.
