  • I hope you get a good nights sleep tonight SA after your awful early start. I hate it myself when you're so nervous of oversleeping that you keep watching the clock.

    Shame about your earring. :( Enjoy your wine - as you say, you've deserved it today!

    Forgot to say saw a bizarre sight today locally - two blokes sitting on a wall chatting and they both had those false metal legs with trainers on the end (both legs!!) one of them had taken one of his off and it was just standing there on its own :eek:

    This made me :rotfl::rotfl: it’s just not a bizarre sight for me. My OH has no legs below the thighs. So it’s the norm to see his legs on the sofa each night, often I find a cat curled up in the top of the trousers as it’s warm :D
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or

  • I hope you had a better night's sleep after your long day in London. Sorry you lost your earring. I think the mini wine bottle was well deserved :).

    Friday eve again :)

    The tiredness hit me yesterday big time. I felt weird yesterday afternoon, I couldn't think straight and kept imagining things, very surreal. Anyway I'm fine today thankfully.

    Did Pilates yesterday and have been running on the treadmill today. AFD yesterday but have a glass of wine tonight :)

    DGD has been poorly all week and even ended up in A&E - she kept being sick and started to become dehydrated. Thankfully she's fine now. I remember it only too well how kids can be really poorly one minute and fine the next. She started school in September and is catching all the bugs bless her.

    Looking forward to a quiet weekend, got WW hairdressers on Saturday but nothing else planned.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

  • I'm glad you're feeling less tired now. I'm also glad DGD is on the mend, that must have been a worry!

    You're doing well on the exercise front as always :).
