    I really must remember to buy some smoked haddock. I fancy it every time you mention it and then forget.

    I'm going to use some of it to make smoked haddock scabby turtles later!

    ...or using fish it should be scabby sea turtles. :rotfl:

    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.

    Daughter didn't order the headboard for the bed. Nearly 800 quid for a bed and the headboard and mattress are extra! :eek:

    Part of the Furniture
    morning ... bloody hell 4 pages!!!

    i had an interesting night last night, not in a rude way you understand but get this....

    i got a phonecall at 245am... from bouncerman of all people...!! it's been a good 2 weeks since i last saw him and i deleted him off FB and from my phone as he was working away for the next 4-5 weeks and in that time GM is back, so i didnt expect to be seeing him ever again. Removed his contacts to avoid any temptation on my side to get back in touch.... (maybe in a weak, wine induced moment, y'know how it can be!)

    he called, hi how are you etc... i said sorry who's calling? which didnt go down well....... then i placed his voice and we had a chat... i waited for the "im in the area, can i come over" booty call line, but it never came as he was actually in Inverness... seemingly he was just phoning to say hi, and how was i etc? He said he wasnt drunk, i'm not so sure, i think he'd beem doing drinks for work type contract stuff...

    I told him my position re GM and that i had deleted his numbers/FB and again i dont think that went down to well...

    Oh the joys!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    Partly that too - I can't seem to get up much enthusiasm for running this week either.
