    Well one of my New Years resolutions has been binned.
    Sign language had become a chore I wasn't enjoying, was taking up too much time and had all the signs of costing more money on repeated resits.
    Why? I asked myself and I had no answer!
    When I ring up and speak to them tomorrow I'll also get some money back.

    I don't think I'm alone in saying that's a good idea.

    You'll just have to find another hobby. Perhaps an enjoyable one.

    Have had a not bad couple days. Nice evening out with pies, beer and men yesterday. I remembered my money (good start!!!) and realised that some blokes who appear relaxed and jovial at beer festival are maybe relaxed and not quite so attractive when I'm sober.

    Some people are not so happy about me leaving sign language...I feel a bit guilty.

    Went to a training place for a hair cut today :eek:
    Well...it would have been like that if she'd left me enough hair!!! She kept levelling it off...at one point I thought I was getting a bowl cut!!! Still £3.50 is pretty good.

    If it had been pies, beer and women - I probably would have considered it a good evening out too... :rotfl:

    Perhaps unattractive just means you're not drinking enough at a beer festival. What makes them attractive/unattractive?

    People like who? It has to be right for you. If it's not right for other people, then unfortunately - that's life.

    It is good. Even cheaper than I get.

    Don't worry - short haircuts last a long time. I'm still on the one I had in Edinburgh - though not as bald looking... :rotfl:

    And that was said as though there was the actual possibility of that happening...

    ...It's that moment when you wake up and think 'This isn't my duvet!' (and realise you aren't dreaming)

    ....or 'wake up' on a hospital trolley, go over and pull the curtains back to be faced with a scene out of Armageddon, pull them shut, pray you are dreaming and realise you are not

    Incidents like these influence your drinking at beer festivals!

    Of course men wake up and think "Who is the woman/troll/donkey/gingerbread man I've woken up next to?"

    Women just take notice of the soft furnishings...

    They should also inform you to not be drinking those ales with mushrooms in them... :rotfl:

    OMG 8 minutes to tell you what is happening in my life (aka. what a terrible week I am having) (apologies to those who hate text speak!)

    Clearly hasn't finished yet either :eek:....as today I checked my purse to make sure I had my discount card for the beer festival and then realised when I got into town that I hadn't put my purse back into my jacket. So...... today I didn't do Park Run but I have done a swift walk into town from home, a swift walk back and a cycle ride into town. Can I now go and do some of this:beer::beer::beer:.....please......if I avoid the mushroom ones!!!

    Balance on the HSBC card now stands at £249. It will go down to £180 in a couple of days when the sign language money has been refunded and then will be cleared on Friday.......then on to Mr Branson :D and his £2.5k :D

    A girl called Jack's book bought yesterday for £7 (and I'm told its £6.50 in Mr S) - it looks good. I shall start on it tomorrow.
