    Got feedback on the filming of my exam, some of which was very positive and some not so good. I pretty much agreed with what the teacher said....and I need to practice everyday between now and end of March (exam). Anyway the first bit of feedback was that I shouldn't wear a short skirt or move around so much !!! How much do you think they saw?:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Maybe the wrong lips were moving? :rotfl:

    :D

    Are you learning to be a ventriloquist too ? :D :rotfl:

    So life plods on....as I've done Parkrun today, sometimes literally, and yes my worst fears did happen. I did get overtaken by a five year old and her dad, she was very quick though to give her her due.

    Yesterday was spendy and non-spendy. Called into a hairdressers and asked them to trim my fringe which they did for free :T (I was in a state of shock!)
    The exhaust went on the car :( Got it fixed for £94 :D

    Do have instances when I think I am turning into my father, I am already a moaning pensioner, about 20 years before I can claim. Asda was the source of my wrath and email yesterday.

    One lunchtime this week I called in for a sandwich and some low-fat protein a.k.a. a roast chicken thigh. Hopefully just in celebration of the Sochi Olympics, you appear to be applying a communist approach to the deli counter where you rather than I decide how many roast chickens. Everyone will buy 3 roast chicken thighs or non at all. I'm not on a body building mission or the Atkins diet so I actually only wanted 1 chicken thigh.

    Can I ask whether this is a nationwide policy or whether Lincoln is the lucky pilot store for this Olympic initiative? I need to know whether going into other Asda stores for my lunch is now a waste of time.

    So muddy and windy parkrun today. No idea what my time is yet. Hard work but I enjoyed it. Nice course. Have now had a cooked breakfast, cup of tea, bath and am about to head out to meet friends and watch the rugby in the pub.

    Email has been down at work this afternoon AGAIN so that has led to a somewhat frustrating day and the consumption of three digestive biscuits (What is that all about!!)

    Last night was a bit of a mixed bag.
    Went to Sign Language class, forcing myself to go at the moment because failing the exam was a bit of a kick in the teeth. But I have paid now, my motives are good, I only have to last another 5 months. I think I should just grit my teeth and put in the hours because shortly I should be enjoying it again. There is just a lot on at the moment.

    Got feedback on the filming of my exam, some of which was very positive and some not so good.

    Now for me, this sign language thing has gone from farce, catapulted through absolute farce, and is now teetering on the border between surreal farce and "you couldn't make it up".

    What the hell does wearing a short skirt have to do with sign language? Would it apply if you were deaf?

    I also got my raffle ticket pulled enabling me to take part in a version of Bruce's ITV quiz, was it 'Play your cards right?' for about £170 :D 1st card a 6....... changed it for a 7:rotfl:...... Went higher a Jack.....lower.....another Jack. End of game. I was alright with this as I'd prepared myself for losing. Got called an idiot by someone on my own pub quiz team which I thought was a bit rich for a bl**dy game of probability! Maybe she watches Deal or No Deal and thinks it actually is a game of strategy :rotfl:

    A bit rich? It's like telling someone who lost the lottery that they hadn't practiced enough...

    Am going to watch Rugby in the pub with friends on Saturday so that will be nice....and yesterday (definately not an NSD day I booked my accommodation so that I can work a beer festival this month. Cost me £72 for two nights, there'll be free beer and it's something to look forward to this month. :D

    Perhaps they have a stock of GM three-thighed chickens they need to get rid of...
