    So.....a very mixed time of it recently - have a funeral to go to this pm, and another still being arranged, so that is not much fun.

    BUT, in much bigger and brighter news, I have other stuff to report.

    Those of you that have been with me throughout this journey will know the number of times I have tried, and failed, to give up my morning coffee bought from one of the coffee shops on my way in to work every day. I've tried putting the money away for other things, I've tried the MSE Demotivator, blah blah blah.

    Well, it seems that it was all for a reason - eventually, the manager of said coffee shop plucks up courage to ask me out, sweeps me off my feet, and will be fully installed chez hypno very soon.

    Mates Rates coffee.....very MSE I think you will all agree :D

    Life is good :smileyhea
