    Would work especially well in a white room.

    Funnily enough I almost got a pencil and traced some shadows on our walls the other day. Might still, but this would be less ...clunky.

    No, no need to honestly.

    He is a gentle soul. If you challenged him, he would hand me over without a fight. May even pay you money to take me away.

    Happy attention seeking birthday to me.

    I celebrated by:
    Sausage sandwich for breakfast
    Cake at 11
    Almost an entire bucket of Waitrose chocolate cornflake bite thingies at about 11.01
    Chucking my salad in the bin at 3 and eating more cake
    Finishing the cake around 5
    Massive fish finger sandwich x2 for dinner about 5 mins ago
    Mars ice cream coming up with a cup of tea now

    I did 2 hours 5 mins on the exercise bike in the gym in between the final cake and dinner but I really don't think it has compensated for the damage completely!!

    Oh. The expected mars ice cream hasn't come, but OH presented me with a massive ice cream sundae instead. I'll need to go for a run before bed!!

    I felt a bit sick for the first hour on the bike as I was literally full of cake but I feel fine now. Although I haven't finished the ice cream yet so that could all change soon!
