    Piggers I decided to say hello to the pavement while out with my friend this afternoon. I have a lovely lump on my forehead, a bruised knee, swollen sinuses/nose, sore neck and generally feeling nauseus. Had to pop into the minor clinic hospital on the way home as wasn't feeling too good, and have minor concussion, oh and raised blood pressure as well..ugh!! I also think I might managed to jar my side as that is killing me.. Still as hubby said I don't do anything by halves..lol My face will probably be black and blue over the week..oh well never mind. But the bad news is I'm not allowed to drive until the weekend according to the nurse at the hospital. Still I probably won't want to anyway...lol

    The good news is I have upgraded my phone :D I noticed that Virgin were doing the Samsung Galaxy S4 so checked to see if I could get that and found out I could..yippee :D So after a few hiccups where my mobile now kept cutting out, and the poor guy had to keep ringing me back come this Thursday I will be the proud owner of the above phone :D I am so excited as I love new gadgets..hehehe

    Welcome, savingsassy! :wave:

    Oh natty, poor you!

    As suspected, little done tonight, but kitchen back to rights after supper, kids clothes ready and pack up made. Just had a shower and <yawn> time for bed.

    Also managed to get music off MIL MP3 player, reset DH old iPod, and sync MILs music to it. Hers was cutting out so I said she could have the iPod. She's practicing with it, and will bring it back Saturday where she can have some of my library too. So that is one more little appliance and related cable to exit the building:T

    Paid stuff again tomorrow, then done for the week. These 3 day weeks just fly by :D

    Away with the fairies :beer:
