    Just checking in to see how things are going with you :A

    We always used to call it the "pictures" too :p
    When I was young, mum used to take me ice skating on a Saturday morning (if I wasnt horse riding), and if it was a dreary day - we'd then go to the pictures in the afternoon - always had to be a matinee if dad was picking us up, so he didnt miss his wrestling on tv :rotfl: (giant haystacks still gives me nightmares :eek:)

    I am now confessing that I am terrible for leaving things until the last minute having just submitted the annual report to the Charity Commission with 22 minutes to spare :eek:

    I have always been like this is it no wonder that my blood pressure is elevated why do I have these self destruct tendencies??????????

    I know its crazy but I still do it - all the time :o

    Right off to bed tomorrow is another day

    That made me laugh ... you can't go *straight* to bed after something like that, you have to calm down :rotfl:
