    In hindsight the safety briefing wasn't as clear as it should have been... he thought the "S" on the gun stood for safety when in fact it stood for shoot!

    Ahhhhh - yep that makes sense now!! I would've guessed saftey for the 'S' too!!

    Love that you come up with so many gratitudes. Inspiring!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Well my last but one decent bra has exploded so i might have to make a purchase. Still wearing nursing bras which is pretty disgraceful. NSD as far as i know.
    Today i am grateful for
    * a small victory at work. Will gloss over the defeat!
    * i really enjoy wearing clothes until they fall apart. Very satisfying.
    * lift share with DH tomorrow
    * DD1 went out to play and came back bang on time.
    * wraps from AF. we have run out of bread.

    Oh yeah and my mascara started smelling like acetic acid so since i couldnt remember which year or decade i bought it in, i regretfully chucked it.

    The manure has hit the aircon at work and things aint pretty.
    On the upside, a NSD. Puppylove is sitting on my right foot and i am sterilising the gear for the Winter home brew. Trying a red this time.

    That was by way of a Christmas holidays countdown.
    The manure that hit the aircon is being blamed on our dept. Mostly...
    Spent £150 on Mr S order due any minute but we had run out of bread and cereal.
    Being MF looks really appealing. Only got to hang on another 16 years...

    Eta oooh no 14!!
