    morning all.

    Just caught up - welcome back Jinky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Gemmzie - also read the spoons piece - very well written article.

    Just back from teaching my morning class with the sixth formers - they were great, although I sniffed my way through it a bit but got through it. They all made a vegetable stir fry with noodles. I'll have them cooking at university yet ;)

    Rest of the day - take Charlie out, AQA and then go out to class tonight. More Italian Baked Fish with lemon and lime syllabub tonight.

    Hi BB, how's the cold?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    thanks - I was reckoning on having to look in the evening post to find a chemist that would be open and I'd forgotten about the City Station one!

    If I was really cheeky, I'd just ask my boss to write it out and take it to pharmacy at LGI to be filled but that seems to be a bit too cheeky IYSWIM! Of course, cheeky be dammed if I was desperate ;)

    I got hooked on the first 2 series of 24 when I was lent the dvds but gave up after that.
    Watched the first series of Prisonbreak when I was poorly the other week.

    Bit early for that isn't it Lou????

    Never to early for a bit of Tony:D

    Yes he still does have the little beardy thing:cool:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Morning :o

    Weird few days but I'm feeling a bit better I think. Just full of a cold, so I look like hell. I managed 40 minutes at the gym yesterday though, and have lost 3lbs this week, so that's cheered me up a bit.



    Edit - the Boots at Leeds train station used to be 24 hours - not sure if it still is.

    I just added 2 more £1 coins to my £500 sealed tin, it's feeling pretty heavy now! must be nearly half full!
    I'm stuffing notes in too!
    but should I spend it on..
    1, new bathroom - shower is awful, barely a dribble and the whole rooom is a mess!
    2, new boiler - current one is circa 1970's and a new efficient one would rid us of the emersion tank and save us some dosh!
    3, cavity wall and roof insulation
