    I've been to the post office and posted my parcels - I forgot sticky tape and needed to seal one up after buying stuff in town so spent £1.98 (love the 99p shop) on scissors and sellotape!

    I also got two boxes of dark choc coated mango slices from oxfam and have nearly ate a whole box :eek:

    Now I have no studying to do I have no housework obsession - but a huge need as house is a right state. :D

  • Pooky - sorry to hear your trip to France was a non starter. I don't blame you for speaking your mind sometimes you have too.

    Hi all

    Luc - Hi hope you're ok. I know what you mean about DFW and especially the chat, it too drew me in every day almost to the point where I thought I was addicted and was negelcting things; wife, household chores etc. Only because this is the place were I found so many wonderful people who supported me and we all had a lot in common and were able to speak freely about that which was taboo and casted so much of a shadow over our real lives I suppose. Anyway take care.

    I'm enjoying the really really really hot weather........somewhere...... ;) Have agood day all :)

    Getting fed up with washing now lmc, still another 3 loads left :(

    I'm off for a bit need to have a quick clean though before this woman comes at 5, was hoping to have got all the washing done out of the way the clean clothes put away and the suitcases put away by now, but it hasn't happened, with Dh doing the bathroom i'm pretty much stuck sorting everything else on my own, not moaning though the bathroom is being done :) the floor has been cleaned up and is being grouted at the moment.

    LMC, I failed my last assignment cos I didn't understand the question. I thought I did but I was wrong... Could you ask your tutor to clarify what it means? When's it due in, can you take a break for a day, or at least a few hours, to clear your head?

    Ellie, I'm up for a DFW party night! I'm going to Mr.T's in a bit for some crunchie biscuits. Well, I need to go out for something else, and I'm going to call in there on the way back.

    It's strange, since I came off the pill and had the coil I'm finding I want to eat less, and I can't eat as much (hence me throwing up the other night, normally I'd be able to eat that much no problem). So I can eat chocolate and ice cream in moderation and I'm losing weight. Wish I'd done this years ago!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Ames - I don't think it had that effect on me - TBH though that is asking me to remember over 10yrs ago, so maybe it did?

    Are we going to try to meet up when you go to Bath (you, me, pap and whoever)? I need to pencil the date into the calendar so I can remember when it is.
