With friends like that enemies sound appealing hey?
and you kept asking him back

No he would just materialise and believe me you didn't want to be offending him...

Another good reason for leaving the UK

Morning all. Just woken up - 11am! I zonked out last night - sorry for random posts. Remarkably, I have no hangover!

Hope you all feel fine too!

Loved Lau's 'friend' story! Don't give him your address again - ever!

Good morning!

Would you like a cuppa? I am about to put the kettle on.

Good move. We did a similar thing when we moved to this house. We had a 'friend' who was a pain in the *** and we didn't tell them we were moving.

I figure he is unlikely to find me out here... Knowing my luck I will wake one morning to find my car turned upside down on the drive and a man with a suitcase in my porch

I felt a bit dizzy this morning as I had necked nearly a whole bottle of champers last night as Mr PP was too poorly to drink it and it would have been rude to waste it

But after poached egg on wholemeal toast and a cuppa plus two painkillers, I am ready to take on the day (well the fire and the sofa).

I have tons to do, sort out references, resumes, letters to utility companies, sort out computer and do some packing.

I just cannot get motivated and cant see the wood for the trees

It certainly would have been a shame to waste it!!

It sounds as if the worst is over now - you've just got the tiredness to deal with now. I think I slept through my hangover. Although I am such a lightweight anyway - I only had a few glaqsses of champers. So I haven't abused my system too much. I can't drink more than 2 glasses of wine usually. (Used to be a 3 bottle a night kinda girl until I got preggers. Never started to drink again.)

If I feel demotivated, I do something which appeals at that moment, so at least something is done.

Sounds fab!! A run of the mill day in Sydney eh? I love Lunar park. At Easter they used to have a show there I think which was great as a kid. Wonder if they still have it. Wonder if I am remembering right...

Aquarium is amazing isn't it. DD loved it there - especially the shark tunnel and the penguins.

Glad you got rescued! Did you wave the Welsh tyowel again???

Morning everyone thank god it is 2008 i hope you all had a nice new year. I have started how i mean to go on and had Dairy Milk for breakfast, yum. Feel great and going to start packing this week. Have medicals on Friday and plan to do a little shopping trip to Oxford Street top shop while i am in London. Fell like this is my year, have not felt so positive for ages, not even going to worry about the fact that my 16 year old had a party round his dads house last night (his dad is away), i refuse to let it worry me. Heres to 2008
