    :wave: was lurking but thought I'd say 'hello'. I had an offer to go to the Groucho Club tonight but I said no - I didn't want to become one of the drunkards in the street that I've been cursing at for the last two months :D so I've spent a rock and roll day doing sod all *coughs 'watching Flash Forward and crocheting'* and now thinking of going all out and cracking open a can of appletiser :)

    I would love a day doing sod all :T DH and I have been discussing getting a babysitter booking a hotel and......

    sleeping all day :p

    Go steady with that Appletiser :D

    Do it Logie! I feel guilty at having a cleaner sometimes but she LOVES ironing :huh: and spends one of her 2 days doing that. I still clean up before she arrives :o

    If you have the means to get some me time, or me and hubby time....Do it!!! :D

    I've never tried chrocheting, but I used to to be a mean knitter (my Nan taught me), though I may have forgotten the finger-moves since; is it like riding a bike, you never forget?

    You had me at 'finger moves' :rotfl: I find it less faffing about than knitting. I'm good, just catching up on much needed rest. How's yourself?
