Is it going to be another "I might tell you or I might not"? I'm not interested in people's work absence except that I hope it wasn't anything too disastrous or traumatic but please don't then come back to work and drip feed tiny bits of information to those that might want to know just to keep it interesting. That's just irritating IMO. Tell or don't. Catherine's always been like that. I'm glad she's back at work but just get on with it. I know I sound very unsympathetic but it's just attention seeking. I'd rather someone came out and just said sorry, I nearly drank myself to death or sorry, my brother died then we know. Or just don't say anything.
I really can't think of anything worse than having Catherine, Debbie or Claire doing my funeral. I'd much rather have Sister Bliss. Can you imagine her standing up there and saying "she was a pain in the arse and drank too much whisky". Probably true though
