    Had a lovely meal last night and came home and OH had got me a birthday cake as well. I've been spoilt rotten.

    Currently babysitting the shop whilst OH goes and delivers machines back, its ruddy freezing in here and I've only been here 5 mins. Got to be a brave bunny tomorrow and drive myself in as OH is taking DS1 to college and I'm off on Friday to drive down to see the fossils and have this meeting.

    It's not going to go well, I feel it in my bones. Middle sister has been omniously quiet, never a good sign.

    I've also been blessed with a stinking cold and resemble Rudolf in the nose department. I woke up at 3.00 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. Every time I rolled over my nose needed blowing, managed to get some drugs and feel a little bit human.

    Haven't got anything out for tea, not sure what to make. Being lazy I might do something and chips, trouble is I can't have the chips and not sure what the something is going to be! Need to get back on the eating plan.

    My friend who we stayed with the other week when we went riding has had a fall and popped her hip out that they had just done in the summer. She phoned yesterday and spoke with my DD and I think she thought she was talking to me. I'm not sure where she is at the mo but I've managed to send her a text.

    I say managed as OH got me a new phone as mine was a relic. Still felt quite sorry as I took its innards and placed them in the new phone. I've managed to operate the camera (old one didn't have one) loaded Gangam Style as my ringtone much to the childrens disgust, dontcha just love embarrassing them? I even know the dance moves!!!! Go Me!

    As I no longer have any feeling in my fingers I'd better go.
