    Hi all,

    Bit of an unproductive day today, especially compared to yesterday!

    Didn't get to sleep until about 1.30am :-/

    Then woke at 7.30am, unable to move!

    Eventually got up gone 1pm (possibly later :-/) ..

    Am annoyed with myself, after deciding yesterday, to sort my body clock out. I just felt shattered.

    Need to get fit.

    However, it is just one day after all, and I got loads done yesterday. Am about to jump in bath, and then clean up my flat a bit.

    Already have some grub in (which I picked up yesterday) - tasty Indian for dinner :-)

    Am stressing a bit about the parcel I sent off (Ebay) to Canada yesterday..

    Due to the fact that Customs are apparently more than strict there, and the label I filled out, I had crossed through the 'Value' and re - wrote it on the same label.. I mean, it was clear - legible - but a *little bit* scruffy..

    Crikey..just re - read that, and I am such an over - worrier!

    Just hope that Customs let it through. Wrote on it, that it's a leather jacket, and worth £100 (It's worth more, but PO lady advised me to to do this, as Insurance will only pay out £100, and I didn't want to pay even more than £25 for posting it).

    Could really do with it arriving in Canada, hassle free, as then my buyer is happy, and PayPal 'release' my £135!

    Anyone experience of posting Ebay stuff abroad?

    Love to you all, and the spider *shudders, and runs away like a big girly*

    Hello lovely people!

    I am AF still and going strong!

    Please update me on the Monday to Thursday challenge, thus far. :D

    Sooo busy, this is a fleeting visit (sorry), so I have to go I'm afraid. Will catch up soon.

    Hugs and love

    if it comes out tonight, one of the cats will get it).

    ...and you could wake up to a dead cat if the missus GP is right.....:rotfl:(actually, not funny!)

    Erm, hello all, some of you MAY remember moi......may I come back please??

    Nothing changes, am still drinking far too much chardonnay....but I did grasp a particular nettle this morning......

    Went for a blood test (women's stuff...) & the nurse actually asked if I wanted anything else checked out; "no, can't think of anything"... then as she was doing it I heard the words escape from my mouth "well maybe a liver function test *might* be an idea....."

    She wrote "patient requested a GGT" on my notes & there was nearly a bit of a fracas cos I misheard & thought she'd recorded that I'd asked for a G&T at 9.40 in the morning.

    So, a week today might bring me some serious news. I almost hope so to jolt me into action - how silly!

    In the meantime....some old (no offence!) faces on here still, thank goodness (it's been months since I was last here) & some newbies too; I've missed you guys, it's just hard to keep posting on here when at the same time constantly downing the wine.

    I've been OK, feel OK, but still DRINK WAY TOO MUCH!!!

    Hoping to get my act together in May. Definite MayDay situation.
