  • Hi all, god I've done the drunk dialling many a time. How awful it is to gingerly pick up your phone and see who you have called. I've also done the flowsnaking on other forums when my fingers and my head are not communicating. To log on again and see the b & w evidence of your excess is so embarassing. Slept ok last night though, its 3/4 for me too. Thanks all
    Cogito ergo sum. Google it you lazy sod !!

    Polaroid good to see you back hope life gets easier for you.

    Good old "oh dear we've run out of grit" Wilts County Council. School closed today - have done snowman / snowball fight / hot choc already. Cancelled the dog's op again! I'm well off the main road & the local ones are impassable so stranded! Luckily I have a seige mentality when it comes to shopping so can hole up for about 3 months without running out of food.

    Jo & 115 chins up (now that sounds as if I'm saying you're fat....I'm not ;) ) it was surprisingly recently I was told I felt down due to "brewers blues" - hadn't realised alcohol could have that effect.

    NTC, Biscotte, Lurky & family - sorry to hear about your colds, but yes keep them to yourselves (perhaps you could not breathe while posting or something).

    Fay can you do online grocery shopping? If you're that desp for this coffee.....

    Like several others I've been awake since 4.30 am...felt shattered til I realised didn't have to go to work then felt great!
  • Morning all,
    Blimey - it takes ages to catch up now - even after a few hours.

    Jo don't feel down - just think about me, the toilets and the sarnies last night ........ :D

    Everyone else is now going :confused::confused::confused:

    Best wishes
    BHB
    :) Embrace your inner Hillbilly :)

    That did make me laugh, the implications of that sentence didn't occur to me as I knew what he was talking about.

    BHB, you are getting yourself quite a reputation, what with dogs, 3 legged cats and sarnies :rotfl:
