    NL...yoga mat..x

    I love having you all pop in on y little corner of nuttiness...

    Ok Yoga mat confession: I dont do yoga. I have hardwoord floors in my house and I was trying to do sit-ups and I could feel every nail going into me so it is more of a fat protection mat. I got the thickest one on amazon 6mm!

    Things I loathe: bad smells, itchy fabrics, lazy people, runner beans, dreamcatchers, loud noises, pet birds, ugly shoes, poor personal hygiene, stuck up people, Republicans, waiting in line for ages, poor service, driving lessons,George Bush, dingy whites, arrogance, marmite, quitters, IKEA, mean people,figs, currants, debts, bad haircuts, pubes on the toliet seat, constipation, unmade beds, offal, being fat, SPAM, Facebook, spitting

    Things I like:
    Doglet, riding, horses, smell of fresh mown grass, sweet peas, lilies, Australian Sauvignon blanc, mac book air, savings, a clean house, fresh bedding, crisp ironed shirts, my new super efficient warm coat, sharing sofa cuddles with Doglet, watching rugby, doing something for someone nice but unexpected and seeing the smile their face, waking up and realising its tg weekend and you don't have to get up, proper nice coffee, properly made earl grey tea, nice thin bone china mugs to drink from, my neighbours, the overwhelming and helpful support of my friends in the black box in recent times,

    Things I don't like:
    Debt, lies, deceit, dead flowers, slushy grey snow remains, DH being grumpy, my boss in snotty mood, smelly bins, smelly people, bad breath, rotten meat, wasting food, money making people lose sight of being nice to each other, people who drive at night but come to a standstill when headlights come towards them, people who swing the lead about being poorly, animals not living as long as humans, humans who don't treat animals with respect, people who spit, realising I have read a book already when I start it, not having a garden to enjoy, companies who charge you for a service and then it turns out to be faulty or substandard who don't apologise, companies who say you will be told by x time and then don't tell you at x time!

    And time for a deep breath .....is that enough to be going on with?
