    Ok, I have no idea what I'm talking about so feel free to ignore me.

    But a few ideas (some slightly more practical than others this time of night) to help switch off a bit.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/09/stress-relief-that-works_n_3842511.html

    Progresssive muscle relaxation with a bit of visualisation and nature sounds (birds etc) used to work for me. (Not whale noises, they just make me want to run screaming from the room. And water makes me want a wee.)

    And if you don't hear from me for a couple of days, I've tried a yoga pose and am trapped in the front room with my legs tied in a knot and Gitdog bouncing all over my head. I will need rescuing at this point.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Mu - if you decide to get Netflix, there's a brilliant series called Lilyhammer. We've just finish watching.

    Not much else to say really, partly because I was on the most boring training course ever with a bunch of people who are so keen on their jobs they read books on it in their spare time and I realised I probably don't have the energy or the will to succeed in this career and I'm tired and also because I'm finding something in here a bit triggery.

    A couple of people have recommended Lilyhammer to me

    Its on the list.

    I just watched Brave, which was really good (saw it at the cinema) as it not the typical love story Disney film, now watching some random horror film xD

    Your face looks heart-shaped, MU which falls into the really cute category that I have always wanted!
    Gosh! I wonder if it's possible to read minds on a thread! That's the second time this evening I've read a post by MessedUp, immediately thought of the answer, and straight away read WaS's reply which was the same as what I was about to post!

    Yes, it looks heart-shaped, MessedUp! Spooky!
    (It's not really spooky! I just like the word spooky, or as someone I knew used to say, skoopy!
    I'm not quite sure how you'd "borrow" my face :eek: :p
    Get a mask made of your face and send it to WaS! :rotfl:

    Here's where you can get one! Really!

    Hello, Onomatopoeia! That's one of my favourite words, and has been ever since I was about 14! :D

    WaS, I kept meaning to ask, if it's not impertinent, what happened about Milliefleur that time?

    My favourite word is discombobulated although I also love the German word for ambulance which is Krankenwagen.
