    And....? :rotfl::rotfl:Why not - I feel like hibernating too - maybe MSE DFW'ers are a different species?
    Seriously - sometimes you just gotta wrap yourself up in duvet -if it makes you feel better.

    Love it. Thanks for that - after a really carpy week - you've cheered me up - and with all the lovely pictures of a bunny and little kittens. :T
    Thank you.

    The first time I did it I drew little smiley faces on each of his toenails with my black nail varnish pen and it took him 2 days to notice! :D

    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.

    You're so mean.....I just want to build a little duvet nest and crawl in and you won't let me just because Wikipedia says so....huh!

    *hatches evil plan to edit the wikipedia page to include duvet hibernation*

    Pooky, maybe you are a hybrid breed of panda that nests in duvets!

    Afternoon. Just been on a bit of a shopping spree - essentials only, but still... :eek:

    I managed to get N's winter coat in Primarni for £9 and R's for £7. :T

    Bought some lovely underwear in Next for me (It WAS an essential...honestly.....and I had a voucher...but it didn't cover all of it... :o), and also bought 6 Christmas presents.

    I need to be creative about Christmas shopping this year because money is soooo tight. R is the tricky one, because his Christmas list starts with a Nintendo DSi, and gets worse from there!

    Sammy... *whispers* where did you get the Bose from?

    Me neither but my back is still really painful despite the painkillers.

    I'm having a Scrubs marathon and Dennis is snugged up next to me on Jessica's pink blanket (or cosy as she calls it)

    Pooky - it's tri monthly as I take my Pill three pack in a row. Otherwise I am the most evil woman on Earth in regards to PMS and if not on the Pill I have the most painful periods and can't do a thign for the first day. Have had it checked with the Nurse and she said as long as I'm not having any problems with it, it's fine to carry on! Makes my life easier but my anti-psychotics mess it up again by making it 3 days late! Only I get tired cos I guess it's a lot to put my body through ,and I've had the most horrific nightmares (more than normal) the past three nights and OH has had to wake me, cuddle me and wait til I go back to sleep, other night I was going funy at 3:30am, 4am and 5am

    Have just spent the last hour making up gluten free and normal bread dough, that's now in the airing cupboard rising for me, and I also made a gluten free fruit and nut cake from my mum's recipe (and Delia's weights - which I use the egg/flour/butter/sugar then I play with the others - more treacle, more fruit and lots of walnuts) and that's now in the over slowly cooking for 3 hours. OH will love me, as he adores my fruit cake.

    just home for a few minutes. Shovelled a lovely bacon sarnie down my gob and will be whizzing back to work in 5 minutes. Ofsted have gone........and we are very happy with the grade :D Let's hope my interview with the inspector bears fruit - I said that my (afternoon) job should be full time, permanent and I then listed all the things I'd like it to include :D :rotfl:
