    Ha, I'm such a CRAZY guy......

    I don't get those feelings of huge excitement any more (like just before a drinking spree). The upside is I don't get the depression and anxiety that go along with those feelings.
    More of a deep, contented happiness now.

    It's difficult to articulate....

  • Hi folks,

    Shredding does indeed sound like torture HB!

    Just popping in quickly to declare 1 AF please Shaggy.
    Got to dash as playing at a wedding this afternoon and
    must get organised. Have a great Saturday all and catch
    up later this evening. Thanks for the welcomes back.

  • Enjoy the wedding, DB :)

    This may seem random but I promise it's not - friends are so very important & with them you can get through anything :)

    Jeez, is that boy LUCKY!!!

    Morning all, is it still morning? Kids woke me up, no idea what time, I told them to go put the telly on and would be there in a minute, then woke up at 11am :eek: DS had helped himself to 6 choklit weetabix :eek: and they'd made mugs of milkshake with the milkshake powder and my milkshake whisk....you have to be quite careful doing that you know :eek: :eek: oh jesus the mess.....

    Anyway, very busy day today, considering I'd slept through most of it! OH gave me his credit card as I have no money and he was going to be away from yesterday PM until sunday PM and said I should get food and DD2 some school shoes....but didn't actually specify 'how much' I could spend :think: I went to Mr T's and spent about £14 then remembered that we needed electric so took another £10 out, we will need to eat today and tomorrow, plus the shoes.....was wondering if they'd be enough on there for lunch in town :think: ;)

    Right, better get ready to go out, taking the bus into town rather than driving, you can never get a parking space and it's quite stressful trying to, so as I've got a free staff pass, might as well use it huh :D especially as we are about to change it over to DD1's name as her free student oyster runs out at the end of the month and I never use my free staff one, she can now travel about for free :)

    Have a lovely day all :wave:

    Oh Shaggy, I'm on 5 thanks, was AF during RN's challenge night before last :D
