Plan
[STRIKE]Ironing
Washing x 4[/STRIKE]
Clean bathroom
[STRIKE]Living Room
Kitchen[/STRIKE]
make ragu
Move a shrub
Sow some seeds
Tidy up a section of the garden
Unblock drain

Think thats quite enough - done some still some more to do!

'Tis always the way when you're really looking. Chin up tho, chick, am sure you have plenty of great things &, like RA says, there's always the underwear

Sim, hope getting outside helped. It is very important to get out & interact. Staying home just makes you focus inwards more & more, which isn't generally a good thing

I have been to the gym & shall now return to lazing around in the grounds of Bear Towers* :cool:

*posh way of referring to the park near where I live

Hello!

OMG I am bad at regular posting! Sorry!

I have been drinking heavily and regularly ever since the last time I posted, which is ages ago. :eek:

I've not done anything dodgy or too embarrassing with the drunkeness, but that isn't the point. I have been having pains in my sides, terrible hangovers (one of which stopped me doing my voluntary work, so that's VERY bad) heartburn, memory loss, the squits...................you get the picture. Pretty yak.

I haven't read many recent pages. In fact I have ignored you lovely lot totally. That illustrates my state of mind over the last few months, I suppose. I would like to thank Graemecarter, for messaging me to ask how I am. He is, as ever, a stick in the ribs (no offence Graeme, please believe that you are very much appreciated), a poke in the eye - whatever - anyway, he kicked me up the !!!! of thinking that I am still being a drunk.

I have had over half a bottle of voddy today, and what - it's not even 7pm ???(not that time should be a mitigating factor in how much we consume, I know that).

I don't know the value of this post yet. I do feel slightly better posting, but I am at the moment a bit drunk, so this post has no productive value in itself yet. I may well forget I've posted, so lets hope I look back, or get some messages saying hello!

I do miss you all and its like a lovely, comfortable, familiar conversation, coming back.


Hugs
Caz
