    Evening, I'm so bored.... question is, can I be bothered to do the wii fit- or shall I just carry on trawling the net, and drinking? :confused::A

    Trawl the net, drink and post some more entertaining stuff... :)

    drink while you're on the wii fit? surely there's time to life a wine glass during the yoga pose?
    Actually, it may help improve my posture rating- I wouldn't want to get unsteady and spill any :D

    Thanks :T

    I might open a bottle, it might warm me up.

    I'm so so cold, maybe I am coming down with something.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

    Poor you - keep warm. We've battled swine flu, chest infection and winter vomiting virus in the last 3 weeks. That was some Xmas holiday. :rolleyes: I'm just so glad and relieved to not be feeling ill any more. I got very fed up of feeling like an octogenarian, with aching joints and coughing non-stop.

    Look after yourself!

    Hot toddy, maybe?

    Eeekk...sounds fun, not!

    Think I may go snuggle under the quilt with a good book, a cup of tea and my wheat bag soon rather than have alcohol...I get scared to drink in case I have to do a midnight (or stupid o clock) run to the hospital, hence why I almost never drink.

    Sounds good - I'm cuddling a hot water bottle at the desk, but trying to do a little light work on the puter whilst flitting over to here every so often to stave off boredom - OH is watching The Wire again - someone lent it to him and he's addicted ...not really my scene.

    Yawn. Night night. :)

    Don't mind the offal, it's when Hugh ExceedinglyLong-hyphenatedname starts eating sheeps testical, that's what puts me off dinner.

    Afriend has been PPRed for the Alpha thingy.

    I honestly can't believe that he would be banned for something so harmless.

    He says he will keep in touch via the other place. But it wont be the same :(

    I find it's better if you don't enquire or think about what's in some things, like haggis, hog's pudding and black sausage. As a kid I'd eat tripe & onions for a pastime, till the day I asked what it was....
