    Alas no money to op the £223 Alex, the correct money has been paid off, I've just mucked up the figures :o

    Off to the shops today with my best friend who is having a child free day :D I have nothing to get but a new duvet cover for dd (she's paying), but a coffee and catch up will be good. I have cabin fever at the moment, the symptoms are being lazy, eating too much, watching rubbish tv :rotfl:

    Hi NG, I've recently read your diary from the beginning (and am now subscribed) and what a rollercoaster it's been! :D It's been the only diary I've been unable to put down at times! But you've done amazingly this year and to think you're so close to the end now is brilliant. Don't let the £223 get you down and have a lovely (cheap) day at the shops today!

    Hi themadvix, I am very flattered but you must be crazy reading through years of my moaning :rotfl: Not sure if I could read back over lots of it as some is sad and lots is repetitive :D

    Due to the upcoming healthy living purgatory I'm about to enter, I thought I'd declutter the baileys and find out which happens first when drinking too much of it 1). Being ill , 2). Being drunk . It turns out it's 3). Feeling a bit tipsy and quite a bit icky :rotfl: still, it's the first thing decluttered ready for 2017 :T

  • What are you talking about Alex? She is clearly a scientist.
    NG you maybe need to repeat your experiment to see if it is reproducible?!

    Shouldn't someone else independently verify it? I'm not volunteering BTW :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

  • Might I run a parallel study with champagne and gins and tonics (not in the same glass, obv. I am not a sloven!).
