    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: loving it!


    I actually took an OTC sleepy pill last night, all this physical work has caught up with me and I needed the sleep to catch up too. Really nice. I'm going to have a quiet day today - I'm off visiting some London rellies tomorrow, if Storm Deidre allows, and Monday is a definite leisure day :) The most I'll do today is finish the Christmas cards :) Every year, I slot that in for November, and every year I fail :rotfl:

    Thanks earthie, I do feel better - still doing nothing today though. Except for finally tidying up after the decorating on Wednesday - took about half an hour, it was just dusting and pushing plastic storage crates around with my foot :) I've got Christmas cards up now, too :)

    You see I have been dreaming about Monty Python with Michael Palin in a red-checked lumberjack shirt for the last two nights, and there was I trying to work out why! And thanks, a bit like the song "Little Arrows" by Leapie Lee, it is my personal ear worm at the moment :(

    I find my ear worms are snatches of songs from TV ads:(. I sort of recognise the song although not always the singer/s but can never recall the whole song, just the memorable bit they choose to hook us into the ad. Drives me mad:eek:
