    hello dear friends, feeling better but still not 1005 "with it"

    off to the gym at 9. I go to an incredibly cheap one £15.99/mnth and when I say basic no pool etc. All the body odour you want is free there however !

    Lots of rain down this way and it seems as though it is meant to carry on.

    This week I wil apply for my actual British passport which is an unplanned expense but I have now sold enough tat on Fleabay to pay for it xx

    oops read that as you were buying the passport on Fleabay:rotfl:

    :rotfl:Will you never learn !!! ?

    Skim reading is not good, but then again I did that myself yesterday !

    Was chatting to my friends 14 year old son via text, who was on a school trip yesterday, (so really shouldnt have been talking to me anyway :o) He told me he was bored and him and his friends were hiding neer the toilets ( his dodgy spelling , not mine !!) Well ,I read it that they were hiding beer in the toilets and gave him a good old telling off !! Why on earth I thought he would have wanted to hide beer in the toilets at the War Museum though I will never know ! x:rotfl:

    Isnt it miserable today ? I want to go back to bed now but work is beckoning so will drink copious amounts of coffee instead. I might think about going to the gym though , but RBS bounced the direct debit during the fiasco , so we havent actually paid this months membership yet, so I am a little embarrassed to show my face until it is sorted ! They might refuse me entry ! :o

    They probably won't refuse you entry, why should you be that lucky :rotfl:You won't be the only person having problems with RBS and the gym won't want to lose you as a customer. But of course use the excuse for not going to the gym, I certainly would...:rotfl:

    Hee Hee, my thoughts exactly !!! :rotfl:They actually called yesterday asking if we had done something wrong as none of us had been for the last month. That was because of Mr Pinot being away and because I just didnt have time but the courtesy call was nice. I might ask them for a free month anyway seen as we havent been ! Worth a try ! x :D

    you two are so funny. In the usual british fashion, the sun is now streaming down. Let's see how long that lasts! Ha. My dogs are so precious they refuse to go out in the rain so need to throw them all out before it starts again. I did do 10k + steps yesterday, aiming for the same today because I really need to shift some weight to fit in my clothes without fear of strangulation!
