    i've heard a rumour chev that i may be taken to Lakeside to have one of those fishy pedicures. Seems a long way but i'd really like one. The only problem is i'm squeaky skint and don't get paid until the 28th so don't really want a shopping trip

    There might be somewhere less 'shoppingy' that does it? E.g. local spa or gym??

    BTW LT why do you have to pay for prescriptions? I thought Diabetics had medical exemption?

    My mum offered me one of those fishy thingys for Christmas (she asked first thank goodness) - I had to turn her down. I'm so ticklish I would squash the fish or kick them out of the bowl!

    Hi LT

    Have now caught up on your diary, I feel very neglectful for not even realising you had one after you have supported me for so long!

    Big congratulations on going sub £10k x

    In no particular order:

    Thanks for the Congratulations Woo, i didn't think it would take you long to catch up :)

    Kat i lurve my feet being touched, i'm not ticklish at all, above my ankles is another thing altogether though!

    Dragon you only get free prescriptions if you're on medication, and apparently because the diabeties medication i have is prescribed for fertility issues then it doesn't count. Though if he does say once more 'well it will help both' when we both know my numbers have been completely fine once i got of the offending virus that time i will ask for the details.
    Do you know Dragon i think i could drive over to see you one of the bank holidays if you're free, just need to finalise a good day and let me know destructions on how to reach you.

    Vl i think that there are other places around, but my sister may have picked up the vouchers whilst she was on holiday and so they may be restrictive.

    i'm on Mr LT's lappy tonight, mine is backing up so is off limits for a few hours/days/weeks or however long it takes :( i much prefer mine even though it's probably had more wear. I've managed to get Office 2010 through something at work for less than a tennerk, hence why i'm backing it all up before i try and download the software.
    Mr LT is currently icing a cake he has baked so i'm looking forward to some of that. We were suposed to go to the allotment meeting tonight but we're both knackered what with his night shifts any the madness at my workplace and to be honest i've been suffering from a headache all day.

    Hi LT

    I'm sure a cup of tea and a nice piece of cake will cure your headache :)

    you're probably right, but i'd be happier with either a glass of milk or water. But i definitely need some medicinal cake!
