    I tend to avoid YT for that very reason! I've totally fallen into it over the last week or so though. DH gets home every night and asks what I've been up to and I'm like 'Errrr... just watched TV and did a bit of housework like a totally normal person...' :o Not telling him how I'm a total mentalist losing my evenings on my laptop! :rotfl:

    Speaking of YT and 1D....
    This
    is one of my favourite ever YT videos.

    Followed by this. Nothing to do with 1D. This one has dogs.

    I love that 1D video too. But it makes me cry :(

    There's a great cover about the game Halo. On YT, search for "I'm in love with Halo". It's so funny :)

    I am cursing lacking the foresight to purchase a shewee.


    Code,

    Poundland are doing that sort of thing at the moment. In with all the camping stuff.

    I bought one. Got one for when my back is really bad.

    Yours

    I am currently doing my workstation assessment. (I.e my dining room table.)
    It tells me I need to keep a tidy desk with items logically positioned. To my right are several mugs, and shredded bits of paper waiting to go in the bin. To my left are a multitude of notebooks, print outs, and to do lists. Positioned around and on top of those are my gardens seeds, Gitdog's new toys and the laundry waiting to go upstairs. Slung on the backs of chairs are assorted coats and blankets hung up to dry.
    On my lap at the moment is half a Gitdog - the other half won't fit. (May have to answer no to the is under your desk free from obstructions question!)
    Not sure that's entirely the working environment I should be aiming for. :rotfl:

    code shewees are the best invention ever, i used mine loads at the festivsl i went to, and if you're out driving (and have one with extension tube) and have a spare bottle you can go quite discretely. :o

    Calley-pleased don't ever feel like you can;t post here or that you're too well or whatever to post, one thing i've learned from this thread is that it doesn't matter what your situation is, whether life is going good, or bad, if you're feeling stable or unwell, happy or sad, this thread is always here for everyone.

    WaS- ESA claims can take quite a while, even back when i was claiming there was a backlog and it took ages to make a decision. I doubt you'd have to have a face to face assessment but even if you did personally i found it easier to explain to someone what my problems were. Sorry about the car and laptop (though glad you've found a solution to the laptop-i was going to say i do have an old laptop, its not great and i have no charger for it but you'd have been welcome to have it)

    Doet has gone to pot, but i am determined to start up couch to 5k again, shall shortly be off on the first run. Managed to get a new sports bra to contain the twins and Swain is trying to encourage me (lol i won't go into how but he's thinking of ways increased stamina could be of use :o :rotfl: )

    I watched a few minutes of that MU, and just sat there thinking I know people want their 15 minutes of fame but like that????Really???? Nothing like creating a bit of performance anxiety via an audience and TV cameras to get you in the mood.
    I am watching DIY disasters and feeling smug that none of mine have been quite that bad. Yet.

    Well done on starting the couch to 5k again. That's something else still on my to do list.

    Its very...how can i put this..odd? Like i'm not a prude by any standards but it just seems a bit TMI? I can't imagine may people enjoying having sex in a "box" for tv! I mean maybe they're somehow voyeristic but still...strange.

    I did couch to 5k 2 years ago and ended up doing race for life. I'd realy like to do it again this year if i can , just not sure if its this month or next month. If its next month i shall sign up (and maybe get my manager to sign up again!)
