    It occured ot me last night - when clearing out the bathroom drawers - distraction techniques (BTW), anyone else noticiing they aren't using, buying, chomping so much paraceatamol/ibrufen/etc

    me too Fay - I used to get through cases of the stuff - we should declare that as a hidden MS extra to FaFFing as it must have cost me a fortune over the years :( Great news about the house btw

    Another one for me last night please - OH did suggest picking up a bottle of wine on his way home for us to share which was a lovely thought (a bit too lovely if I'm honest :p) however declined for myself but said it was fine if he wanted to (where did I get this will power from?!) However, following a period of reflection apparently, he turned up empty handed and we 'enjoyed' a lime and soda each - good Mr -s-!

    Welcome back Habbit and well done Fruity a) for resisting the temptatation and b) for getting OH to do the pots!

    8 would be better though :D

    Why not just go for one tonight BHB (on the day at a time principle) and see how you feel tomorrow (Great probably:D)

    Good evening,

    Normally I can hear the bells when tired but now it seems that I am beyond tired so no bells here. Looking forward crashing to bed tonight. 23 for me please Fay :D

    Too busy looking olympic game live results online (jumping between giant slalom and nordic combined at the mo)
