    Wow Zig that sounds amazing! Scary, but amazing - I don't think I'd be able to deal with it, but quite a few people I know have had it and are thrilled with the results.

    Glad you had a nice birthday - yum, I love Wahaca :)

    Wendz, your last day of work sounded lovely too - enjoy the rest before the little one makes her appearance! (I didn't imagine it was a girl, did I?)

    CMD, that's such tragic news, it must be awful just not knowing anything, their poor families.

    I've just been crying, and my gosh, tears don't half make my eyes sting! :(

    The reason for the tears though is this:

    Has anyone here read it? They also made it into a BBC TV adaptation a couple of years ago with Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

    If you haven't read it then I recommend it. It is brilliant and funny and heartbreaking. Well worth reading.

    Bless you, Zig! Just amazoned it but I don't think it's my cup of tea. Although I finished reading Room by Emma Donoghue on Saturday after seeing it on Tete's blog, and that isn't something I'd normally go for but I loved it! So added it to my wishlist regardless :D Reading The Outcast at the moment, pretty good so far! Although it's getting to the time of year where I want to read I Capture the Castle and Love Lessons so I'm getting a too long list of books I want to read :o I'm turning into my Mother!

    Thanks for the recommendation Zig, it looks like a good read! I'll add it to my (massive!) list of books to get through!

    Now stop with the sad things Zig, I'm sure you're not supposed to be crying when your eyes are healing from their zapping!

    I read a good book on holiday called Sister, it had me gripped and I think I might have actually said, 'Ooooh No Way!' a few times out loud! :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    :D Yes, no more sad stuff from now on! I've only just twigged though that me crying just after I had it done was what was making it hurt more! Handy hint for anyone that gets it done - don't cry!

    I love books that make you laugh out loud, or visibly shocked etc. I read It's Your Time You're Wasting on the train and I had to look away cuz I was laughing so much. OH was so embarrassed. :o

    I really really want to read I Capture The Castle. I must do soon. After my dissertation is in!

    Hope the dissertation is going OK Zig, I remember how hard that time was!

    I can't believe my OH is still asleep. Is his last day off before 7 shifts so will let him off but I have managed to take rubbish and recycling out, do some ironing and put more washing in all while he has been asleep!

    Ooh your nesting Wendz!!!

    Think we are going to book our holiday apartment today. Just waiting on my friends to get back to me. It will end up costing £211 per adult which is not bad for mid June I don't think!

    Wish they would return my text. I like to get things booked!
