  • No joy with getting a GP appt yet, so yet another day spent summoning up energy to do something.

    Dragged my head under the shower to get my hair washed, got dressed and made it to the club for probably about half an hour onstage. Luckily, there was someone else there who could take some of the load, especially as it was quite a fast tempo number today. Straight back home and in bed within 20 minutes of walking in the door. Means I've been up for the grand sum of five hours today. But I did force down some soup and a cup of tea without any repercussions so far [touches wood and :whistle:], which is a distinct improvement.

    The hallway still looks good, despite Minion's best attempts at decorating it with all her cpra from staying at KH's. It didn't stay there for long. The Basilisk-glare works, even through feeling rough!

    Nearly asleep already...I am such a lightweight.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Ok, Thanks....I'm getting rid of most of my clothes amongst other stuff tomorrow.....mainly sixe 10/12/ish if any use to you....?!?!?!?
  • toochoosey check with the Brownie Pack if the district have a shop, as they are not only cheaper for new than the school outfitters, they often have handed down uniforms. Our lot ran a shop from the church hall every month. Luckily, as I was only a mere Snowy Owl, I never got [STRIKE]lumbered[/STRIKE] entrusted with the responsibility of running it myself.
