    Helloooooooooooooooo :D

    I'm back from foreign parts! Despite the A1(M) being shut and having to go via the M1 I had a good run back after a fabulous couple of days with toots :)

    I don't think we stopped chatting the whole time :rotfl: We did really well with Christmas shopping and she showed me some very nice local shops which I could have spent a small fortune in. Neither of us had anything in particular we really wanted to get, other then the Argos stuff I reserved, but we ended up getting loads and ticking quite a few things off our lists.

    We got a cheapie pedometer each as well so we can monitor our step counts. Just checking mine it says I have done 9752 steps today. Will wear it to work tomorrow so I can see how few I do there!

    I should warn you all she has silver and golden mules all lined up in the hall ready for throwing if needed :eek: :rotfl:

    Seeing as we were so busy chatting and shopping you'll have to bear with toots whilst she catches up on the stars.

    Mudbath sorry to hear about your eye, hope it is better soon.
    Pooh so sad to hear about your dog, hugs to you.
    SM thinking of you and sending ~handholding~ vibes so you know you are not alone.

    I have only skimmed the last few pages so apologies for missing anyone out, have a hug all round :)

    Spent far longer than intended in the bath and spoke to my mum at the same time :) Have left it too late to watch casualty but actually just feel like putting my feet up and reading my book - it's an Anita Shreve - always good and thanks to having to stand all the way to and from work I didn't get to read much today!

    Had decided against thorntons but thanks to mojt i might've just changed my mind!

    Have calmed down now I've read my online tarot - the good times will come when they come. Cannot force it yet. They will arrive when the time is right - expected or not!

    Piggers - have any of the cats tried the radiator bed yet? Hope you feel better soon.

    One has.. but i think it may need to be on a different radiator.

    Febup&S - don't look to the past love, look to the future. Going back is never the same. Good times WILL come I promise xxx

    Mudders - Well done on your stance with your Dad and his driving. Now, you stay off the road whilst you're patched up please, even though you may be legal, rest assured the insurance companies would have a field day even if a bump wasn't your fault!
    Soappie - I remember briefly reading that you were delivering leaflets and almost went down all your length and hurt your ankle, hope its better soon :grouphug:
    Thanks macp - yes, it's the same injury. It's getting irritating now. When it swells, it aches. The irony is that I'm going on a first aid course on Friday. I wonder if I can get them to teach me how to bandage it effectively!

    I'm so glad you had a good time with Toots - though I would be hard pressed to think of any reason why you both wouldn't have a good time, you're two lovely people.
