    Loving the positivity Emily! Doing really well :beer:

    Thanks. Sending all of my positive vibes towards Andy Murray at the moment. I hope he wins. I can't stand Federer. I find him so arrogant and think he kind of looks like a Gremlin.

    I have a knack for spotting what people look like. I also think that Nadal looks like some sort of rodent, like a hamster.

    Hi :hello:

    I can second the Sainsburys basics curry sauce, Pooky who posts on the DFW daily chat, makes a huge curry in her slow cooker, using chick peas and other stuff and a couple of jars of curry sauce.
    I always think that Federer looks so elegant on court.

    Thanks for that. I may have to go to Sainsburys before the weekend to try their sauce then. I tried Tesco's curry sauce but didn't think much of it.

    Don't get me wrong, I think that Federer is obviously a very talented player and always looks smart in his appearance. It is his face that looks like a Gremlin and he is always so arrogant and full of himself in post match interviews (especially when he beat Roddick after Wimbledon in 2009 - I thought the comments he made were appalling).

    I prefer Nadal as a champion as he is so graceful about it and seems like a real gentleman and also seems really grateful when he wins, not like he expects to win all the time like Federer.

    Will get off my tennis high horse now :D.

    You've just given me a giggle reading that! :T

    Somehow Federer doesn't look as though he should be playing tennis.
    I'd much rather watch Nadal ;)

    I can see I'm going to have to watch tennis a bit more often to see the gremlin :D

    He won, he won, he won!!! Not that I'm pleased or anything ;)

    Congratulations Murray - you thoroughly deserved it.

    I can relax now.

    Well Murray winning is obviously the positive highlight of my day :D.

    I also managed to avoid breaking into my tenner and had a lovely roast chicken dinner at my mum's (my favourite). My petrol is still ok too so looks good for lasting until Wednesday.

    I didn't sleep well last night, had the most awful dream that I had cancer and was going to die. It felt so real. I woke several times during the night and had to remind myself that I didn't have cancer (I still had CF in the dream) but each time I fell back to sleep, I was in the same dream. The worst part was that I had nose bleeds in the dream and this afternoon I had a really bad nose bleed that took me ages to stop. How weird is that?

    I know it may sound silly but I think I might speak to my nurse tomorrow about the nose bleed. I know it is probably just a coincidence but you never know. It was really bad and I have never had one like that before.

    I also think the dream might have been triggered by the death of a CF patient on the forum that I read regularly. He was only in his early 20s. I really hate to read about things like that and my OH tells me not to go on the forum but I think it is important not to shy away from the reality of the disease that I have.

    I hope I don't have that dream again tonight. Hopefully Murray's victory will create a dream about tennis. Or something with R-Patz in it will be fine. I'm not fussy ;).

    Sorry to hear about your friend :(
    Maybe the dream was a reaction to the news?
    Take care xx
