    How very wuss like, its barely 3 streets away, you usually stagger that distance to the bar and back in a night.

    Get yer pom pom slippers on and your flannelette floor length nightie and start walking......:rotfl:

    I know.. but when I stagger to the bar and back I have my beer coat on which is very snuggly!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I'm debating whether to go to bed now and have a lie-in tomorrow, or go to bed later and have a long lie-in tomorrow :confused: I know I'm not going to get any study done tonight. Right now I'm off to find my fingerless gloves and put all my toiletries (read: make-up bag, deodrant, bodyspray, hairspray etc etc) back in the bedroom as they've made their way downstairs over the past 2 weeks :rotfl::rotfl:

    Half-term for us next week (yes Liverpool council has to be different :rolleyes::mad::mad::mad: ) so washing etc will get done when I have full loads instead of rushing to do it all tonight and using the TD ;):money: Right, now where did I put those gloves........
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    I play cello in the Cardiff Philharmonic and we're playing (amongst other things) the Elgar Cello Concerto and the VW London Symphony in West Wales tomorrow (I have learned this from updating my diary!). Much fun. And keeps me off the streets. Suspect I may get a bad mark for getting this close to the concert having attended quite so few rehearsals...
    T

    Sounds cool, hope rehearsals went well and you didn't get told off too much...

    Joking aside for a mo, this week has been difficult in so many ways and I nearly buckled but I found a way to work through what I needed to and .....well, lets just say I've learned a lot. Little things like the ongoing support here means a lot.

    Thanks......from the heart. x

    Try to take it easy... I was surprised, once the shock wore off, how bad I felt. Thanks Honey, I will, I have all my family AND my mum nagging me, so will hopefully have a quiet weekend, will have to sit in my chair and get them all flying... :rolleyes:

    ... and no, it's not a misprint... although I do keep some bottles in there ;)

    I've cleaned all the grout of the lovely new tiles in my kitchen, wiped all the surfaces

    Might drop in after my bath to say good night... sorry to anyone I've inadvertently ignored today/this week, hugs to those who need them, welcome to the newbies, and congrats to Cardiff for sticking with us despite Valli's VERY scary behaviour ;)

    Yes Valli, stop chasing the men away! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    How's the kitchen coming along now? bet it's preeeety...

    and thanks to everyone else for your good wishes, I feel much better today...
