    I am so innocent, I had never even heard the euphemism until now. Did you take your pets on the walk? Is it similar to dogging?
    It was more anti-dogging... I was being lead up an increasingly muddy footpath into the wilderness, when what sounded ( to me) like a very savage dog at a cottage we'd have had to walk past.

    I am a right wuss and thought the dog sounded as if he'd do ANYTHING to get out and savage us, so I turned tail and hot-footed it back to the main road.

    Definitely no dogging going on.

    MIght you not have had it when you were too young to remember?
    I don't think CK was ever young - when you see the list of what he's achieved so far there wasn't time to be young .... it's 3 lifetime's achievements and he's only about your age!

    ...cornflakes ...
    Cornflakes? Who has time for those.... between my last posting session (2 hours ago?) and now I've written a completely new piece from scratch and upgraded two sets of photos on two past articles :)

    No time for cornflakes in the world of "where the heck does money come from and how can I get more?" :)

    I've not done that much, however something to remember here Pastures, is that I grew up in an environment with a large underground economy; my parents had to run a bit 'on the side', and I've followed on from that.

    Work backside off = occasionally get there. That's what I've done :)

    I'm not an OBE, or MBE or anything posh :eek:
    Are you sure? Might you not have had it when you were too young to remember?

    My mother says she's definitely sure. I don't know why, but anything like that + Ciclosporin (back to Methotrexate next month) = ouch!

    I have just finished shopping for DH's birthday. All done without stepping outside the front door, I love the net. Best I get dressed now and go out to do the real shopping. Bah.

    CK I keep meaning to ask you how long you have to go to Malmo for, whether it is for the semis, the jury finals, everything, or just the main event.

    I thanked that, but I haven't a clue what it means.

    Nor me. I think Pastures fibbed when she said she hadn't got a job and is really a cryptographer for MI5. Either that or she's just put in an order for Kung Pao Chicken.

    I've been Money Tipped!

    Dr appt went well. So well I confirmed I was happy for the brain drain now. :). And booked in a smear test. Re the spinal tap, they did suggest I might prefer a shunt to be put in then removed but it all seems highly unnecessary to me. ATM everything feels pretty good.

    They are thinking about rubella vacc, I am robust ATM, and calling me back this afternoon. Dh has to speak to them himself. They said not a single other person has asked and they haven't thought about it.

    Edit...on a roll I also made a hairdresser's appoint. The hairdresser is a friend of a friend. I hope they don't do an appalling job or it will all be socially awkward. I usually shy away from such situations, but its really local. They want to blow it straight afterwards. Il said yes, because I do it so very rarely it will be funny, but dh will not be happy, he hates imply hair straighted, or even dried to a wave.
