    Just been watching a prog on C4 about the Microsoft UK Challenge - an 'Intelligent Sport' event which looked a bit like orienteering to me - lots of running about and solving clues. Looks great fun!

    Up bizarrely early so am getting some surveys done, may as well make the most of being awake!

    On the not-very-much-money-left-till-payday front, I'm seriously considering trying to emulate the 'live off a pound a day' woman... 20 days, £20? (actually it's 19 days though). Thinking is that I don't really need anything except a few food bits between now and then - I have one planned night out which I can treat separately and budget another £20 for, leaving £20 in the bank in case there's any other small bits I've forgotten about (I think all my direct debits have come off but there might be one more small one). Hmmmm.

    Ooh I get that sometimes when I've drunk a lot, usually accompanied by generally nervous feeling - get some good breakfast down ya! :)

    Woah! Well, its there now so you *have* to do it! I'll be cheering you on from the sidelines morning and evening, never fear, we'll all keep you going.

    Getting the shakes from the alcohol .... ouch. I don't drink enough to get that any more, but I remember .... horrible - lots of sympathies, and lots of virtual water too.
