:rotfl::rotfl: I'm hoping to have it done more towards my spine/neck, up high, but low enough that it will be covered when wearing a top/blouse for work Depending on how much it hurts I may get another one. BUT I'm going to make sure that they can be concealed when necessary, so maybe my ankle, lower back, was considering having one done on my chest to one side, but I'm thinking maybe not such a good idea with planning on working in a school:rotfl::rotfl:

I have 5 tattoos, (check my facebook page for pics if you're interested) Ankle tats REALLY hurt!!

No flying done as yet, not going to gym today even thou I want to, right knee is aching so I need a rest day. Not in work til 10 tonight so plenty of time.
Going to get the TD on & make myself another cuppa. I need to meal plan for this week so will do that while drinking my tea & catching up on posts.

Weighed myself today, I've lost 5 lbs this week!! Which means I have broken another stone barrier. I'm now 14 stone 13.2lbs!! 2 stones lost since June 07!!

Having a five minute break with a cup of tea whilst the middle and east ends of the south wall dry. I've glossed the windows there which leaves just one window - the one on the west wall to do. But, methinks I'll have to leave that until Friday now as I'm in work tomorrow, W and T - if I do it now, it'll never dry before it's time to close up for the night.

Pigpen – AnW’s detective skills were spot on – although the roller and tray were on the table, there was a thick layer of newspaper underneath. And the dog – yes she does love the camera! She’s fixated by the flash and is ever hopeful, when it comes out, that it’ll flash at her!
Dusty, I love the dog too but then I’m biased! The ‘chair’ she’s sitting on is a sort of family heirloom. It’s a little two seater settee which my Mum and Dad had when they first married. I remember playing underneath it as a wee small child. Also, when I was small, that was where us kids were put to lie down if we had a tumble or were feeling ill. I can’t bear to part with it... And the cactus didn’t move itself, I moved it – last time we repotted it (and it has to be ‘we’!) I put it on a roller tray so it’s quite easy to move.
Pigpen – thanks for the dog biscuit – it’ll keep my strength up!
Mudbath, sorry to read about your thumb

well done on the weight loss raphael, huge amount for one week when you have already lost so much.

I am with Pigpen on the tattoos, also anti-piercing. Don't even have my ears done.

Serena - trying hard to keep out of the garden as the house needs so much doing. I am on a self imposed new plant ban till I have planted everything I have.

Did the garden half hour including changing chicken bedding but kept tripping over attentive tom cats. Did the downstairs loo inc washing walls and a level 2 on the kitchen. Now paint stripping the under the stairs cupboard door, carefully putting dust all over the newly cleaned front hall. Looks original under a few layers of paint - I know fashions change but this door is probably 100 years old dark wood so they have chucked cheap white gloss on it.

Are you scaring yourself there crafty?

Yup!
It's like catching sight of yourself in a shop mirror. Inside none of us ever feel any older.

nickie, is this your first OU course?
If so you will find that they have forums for all sorts of things - including one for your course so you can keep in touch with other students doing the same course.

Your line manager didnt know what Armistice Day was??????

Well she knew about Remembrance Day being 11th November but don't think she had heard 'Armistice Day' before.
Not sure she knew exactly why it was 11th Nov. (I didn't like to push the questions)
