I've now moved on to two bottles of vodka a day.
Yeh, Granny being 15 minutes drive away is very handy. Just close enough to be useful and far enough away too

Just the two bottles huh? Hope the kid gets better soon

Just imagine me in girlie office attire, short tight skirt, high heels, clutching cardboard coffee cup and giggling inanely into a mobile in Queen Street Mall (OK maybe that last bit fits, specially late at night! ) - I need to cling onto the last vestiges of sanity...I shall wear purple to work and keep my spell book handy

Run out of avoidance time now.

So what are you avoiding today.... 1 more coffee methinks... it's not 9am yet
Usually housework or going to the gym. I really really need a gym buddy to try and help me get rid of my last 25 kilos and a cleaner to do my housework!!

I love doing them. Some of the applicants are downright hilarious.

Well, I have successfully avoided writing a single word on my essay today. Truly time well wasted.
