  • Yep RT - I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the right person - small, stripey, not a fan of hairbrushes... :D

    Made it to the gym tonight - wowee - SUCH a difference from last time I was there three weeks ago - I'm astounded and it's really brought it home to me how bad i was before. Absolutely loved it tonight - can't wait to start really seeing what I can achieve now! :T

    That's a decent result then! :T

    Awesome weekend with the stripey one, Rock God and wee furry beasts! :T Lots of fab food, plenty of walking, and a whole heap of nattering - all good wishes passed on. :D Got back home mid afternoon today, and I'm not back at work until wednesday so tomorrow will be a pottering about sort of day i think.

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Hee hee - fixed now - and before I'd seen this too! :D Sorrrreeeeee!

    Right - planned day off today so naturally I have a list - I suspect it's going to be the sort of list that grows as the day rolls on, but we'll see. Blood test done first off, and aside from the usual consternation about wanting it from my hand not my elbow ("You know it's more painful in the hand?" "Not on me it's flipping well not!" :rotfl:) all went smoothly. Also popped to the pharmacy while I was out to get my refund sorted out from three of the prescriptions, and I have the other pharmacy on my list for a visit later. Need to get some general tidying done in the two rooms that are having windows done on Friday too. Also want to get out for a run and maybe do the shred workout later on but will see how the day pans out.
