    ....and my advice is thus .... organise your days better and get some sleep young man! Stop moaning ..... you can moan when the work's dried up and your sat in your flat with the curtains closed in the middle of the day with a Pot Noodle in one hand and a can of Special Brew in the other.

    Yes but it'll be the cheapest candle on BOGOF with freebie matches from a winebar ;)
    The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.

    Still.... I think the MSG ought to bring his bedtime forward and maybe encourage an afternoon nap after his lunch....

    Hope you are feeling better by now Martin. I saw you this morning and realised afterwards that I was so engrossed in the interview that I didn't even notice what shirt you had on!

    Seriously, worrying about a parent is one of the most debilitating things I have ever encountered (I have two frail parents "on the go" at the moment :() so if you can share the responsibility with a sibling if you have one, then it does help, really.

    It is very difficult for people who are used to being in total control of things to have to accept that there are some situations outside of our control, so I do hope your dad's illness is not too serious, because if it goes on for too long it will drain you.

    Sorry to be negative when you wanted positive :o . Treat yourself to a takeaway for tea? ;)
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Hello OS'sters tired Money Saving Expert here. Got in from filming at about 10 o'clock had 4 hours of computer work to do. Had to go into BBC Breakfast for 8 (having originally said no, but was nagged and stupidly changed mind). Been running on empty for three days - father not well and playing on my mind. Throat hurts, headache, tired. Got to go do radio 2 today - and much as I love it - a live phone in is always a challenge. I'm now in the office - and barring drinking lots of coffee or taking any medications - what can i do to get myself perky (remember there's no kitchen here!). Yours in one long dirgy sentence because Im too tired for spaces.

    The MSE
    Hi Martin, Listened to you today on Radio 2, what was the site for restaurants etc just off our motorway junctions, I’m sure there is an interest in eating good value food at MSE prices. :beer:

    Keep up the good work (Creep – Creep) :D
    ;)!!!!!!There are More Questions Than Answers!!!!!!:eek:
    :search: But I Just Don't Have Any Answers :idea:
  • Get some Berocca multivitamin tablets (also good for hangover). Instant perkiness. Don't worry about the colour of your wee after :)

    I'm intrigued - just what colour does it turn your wee then?? :D:D
