    I had 3 watchers on my strange fleabay item earlier today but one seems to have toddled off. I must admit I'm surprised there aren't more watchers on all the summer clothes I've got on there especially since we are having all this lovely weather. Perhaps there will be a mad bidding war going on tomorrow :D

    Well i did get a headache :( but I managed to get rid of it within half an hour by taking some of dd's liquid ibuprofen :j

    Is there any reason why you get these headaches? Do you drink tea/coffee during the week and the weekend?

    Had a minor panic earlier after dd was playing with my iphone. She managed to delete the green phone app that's at the bottom of the screen :eek: I could receive calls but not make any.

    That's because she went through your contacts and decided you weren't to ring any of them.

    Perhaps you should label them something different other than:
    • Stud Muffin 1
    • Stud Muffin 2
    • Stud Muffin 3

    ;)

    I don't know why I get the headaches :( I just know that I've suffered with them for as long as I can remember. They are really starting to get me down now. I think another trip to the docs is in order.

    Our 6 mile walk went really well but it was just sooo cold. We raised £35 in the end, not too bad considering I didn't pester many people. I get a bit embarrassed keep sending emails out requesting money.

    I have a bid on an old Vogue magazine and a watcher on another.

    Hairdye is on 3 for 2 at Boots if that's any help and if UK Aldi offers correspond to the Ireland ones (I think they do) you could buy this on Thursday http://beaut.ie/blog/2012/double-take-aldis-miracle-oil-is-the-living-spit-of-moroccanoil-at-a-10th-of-the-price/

    It depends on the exact circumstances, but it may just be that you drink caffeine during the working week, but not at the weekend - so it's a caffeine withdrawal headache. Another thing it could just be a sign of dehydration.

    However if it's nothing obvious like that, then you will need to go and prod your GP.

    I've thought of that too...mmm...that's why I started to treat Saturdays like weekdays and get up at the same time but I definitely do drink less tea on a Saturday so could be that. I asked my doctor why I always seemed to get a headache on a Saturday or if I had booked a day off and she said it could be a 'stress withdrawal headache' too :wall: Can't seem to win!

    I've had a terrible day at work :( Really busy and something I worked really hard on on Friday was done wrong so will all have to be done again :mad:

    Spends today £40 on petrol (already accounted for) and £4.70 on some eye drops for my poor sore eyes which don't seem to be getting any better and now look really red and just generally hideous :(

    Need to get a teeny bit or ironing done and will watch Scott & Bailey.

    May carry on with my knitting too - I mist be the only person who waits until the weather picks up and then starts knitting a scarf :rotfl:

    'stress withdrawal headache'??

    First time I've heard of one of those.
