    Indeed I do, quite a few, in fact!

    In my mind I am also 22 and I am, just with VAT and other various age taxes added!

    I fell asleep on the sofa again last night, I don't even know I am going to do it. I just wake up and a chunk of time has gone missing :eek: That meant I didn't post here as I was quite groggy and cold.

    Today, the Captain has the equine dentist [the vet] to have his annual check. He hates the dentist, meaning he will have to be sedated, more expense. Also means I will have to hang round the yard until he is up and about again. I shall say goodbye to my feet before I leave...

    One of my friends also has to have her horse sedated so I have promised coffee and walnut cake if she provides those instant cappuccino coffees :) I bought home some Pr£t double expresso and have already made the cake, discovered I hadn't got any walnut halves for the top of the cake, only walnut pieces. I have toasted them in vanilla sugar, I added a pinch of cinnamon and they are to die for. All I have to do now is leave them alone and put them on the butter icing when the cake has cooled :D

    Whilst the oven was on, I made a banana cake, using up the black bananas. The kitchen smells amazing!

    I've set up December's spreadsheet, still no money :( More worrying still, there are absolutely no jobs to apply for, certainly not ones with my skill set. I must get some more stuff on eb*y. I have a bid on one item, but it's only £1.20 :(

    What else? the car is still making a funny noise, but the radio works well....
