Lunchtime walk done - cleared my head from staring at a spreadsheet for most of the morning. Bought myself some probiotic multivitamins to try and sort my dodgy stomach out and give me a bit of a boost.
Have come up with a couple of options for a night out on Wednesday but will speak to Mr S about them tonight.
Off to do ten mins of course...Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -

Got sent the below email from a friend, it made me giggle:
am passing this on to you because it definitely worked for me today, and we All could probably use more calm in our lives!
Some doctor on the TV this morning said that the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started.
So I looked around my house to see things I'd started and hadn't finished and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of Merlot, a bottle of shhhardonay, a bodle of Baileys, abutle of vocka, a pockage of Pringlies, the res of the Chesescke a n a box a chocolets. Yu haf no idr ow gud I fel.
vI think it summed up my alcoholic evening the other Saturday/Sunday night! :rotfl::rotfl:

I think you should have a 10 minute break Bookie

OK I've read about 'Minds and mental phenomena' for 10 mins.. much rather carry on doing that than go back to the spreadsheet. Ooh I discovered the University bookshop on my lunchtime walk - not sure that is a good thing!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -

Well there's a first - just spent 20minutes in Boots and didn't buy a single thing. In fact I had an armful of stuff and put it all back!:A

I do that quite a lot in boots...I always get sucked in to their offers...then change my mind before I get to the till.
However, once in a while I don't!!!

Luc, hope everything goes well with the ecg, it's probably just a precaution.
For my ten mins I'm going to the doctors, don't know how long I'll be in there but an appointment is for ten mins so I think it counts. I'll probably do some ten minute bursts of housework later on, I've seriously lost my mojo lately due to sleepless nights worrying about health so seeing the doc should sort that out.
Morrisons had big bags of pasta buy one get two free last week, don't know if it's still on, but someone mentioned needing some.Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.0
