You think that's bad!


My 'alarm' is Maroon 5 -Moves like Jagger....................I used to love that song!



But I can't bloody change it for some reason, so I'm stuck with the damn song now.


I can't wake up to beeps or buzzers, they annoy the hell out of me! it has to be music that I like or that I've grown not to like.

See you soon Steve. Just think of the money!



I've been meaning to watch American Hustle and haven't got round to it yet.


Anyone on here seen it?

That song would drive me bonkers after a while.

When she's on shift, my OH gets up earlier for work than I do so she uses an alarm but for me I open our bedroom window at night (during the weekdays) and get gently woken by magpie songs followed by steadily increasing amounts of passing traffic.

Someone got on the train ahead of me this morning and sat in my usual seat. Nice-looking-smells-good guy had to sit beside her this morning and I got stuck with the sniffer.

Just got told my health cover will not pay for my son's operation. Not actually sure what my health cover will pay for really (ah! I know, dental check-ups)

Sorry to hear about that.


I have all this health cover malarky to come, I don't really understand how it works over there.

It's something else I need to do my homework on.

Had very little sleep last night due to OH's constant nosebleeds. I shouldn't grumble and I sympathise with him, but....I've got washing to do, and I am stiff and sore because my neck is playing up.

My cat barfed on the carpet last night right beside my bed. I stepped in it when I got up this morning.
