    Plan for this evening was to head into London and do the tourist kinda things, but ended up not going because it was raining when I came back into the house, now its really bright and sunny - should have gone in, but I'm gonna be travelling there tomorrow, two days of travelling probably isn't the best idea!
    When myself and my boyfriend were in London earlier this year one day we went into the city with my sister and she told us that if we blow our noses the next day
    what comes out will be black
    , neither of us believed her until we blew our noses... :(

    Think she said it was to do with the underground or something.

    Has anyone ever used those konad nail stamping kits? Are they hard to use? There's one on offer on pigs back at the moment but I'm wondering if I'd use it....

    Just used my brand new electric tooth brush. It's louder than a pneumatic drill but it gets the job done. My teeth are squeeky clean!

    Don't waste your money, absolutely useless. I got one a few months ago from Pigsback and I find it awful, it's impossible to get the stamp on with any kind of clarity, too much varnish and it smudges, but any less and it doesn't transfer at all.

    Haven't had a cup of tea since Tuesday morning cos I've been sick. Don't even miss it. This is the worst stomach bug ever. Other than it feeling like something is scratching my stomach occassionally I feel fine now once I don't eat.

    Haven't trained since Tuesday either and again don't even miss it. I'm definitely sick. :D

    Just noticed my post count went over 10,000 the other day - post way too much when off sick. Shocking.

    So we're having roast chicken for dinner tonight, the chicken itself has been in the oven since half four, and my mother isn't sure if it's cooked yet. :rolleyes:

    This is why I hate it when she (and my granny) decide to cook dinner, it's normally midnight before we eat.

    Somebody stop me looking at pictures of Paris before I die of excitement! :P

    I've a bottle of prosecco in the fridge, I'm very tempted to crack it open and enjoy a glass or two but I'm trying to save it for a garden party and barbecue I'm going to in Dublin next week. Decisions, decisions!

    If you go into your control panel and click on options you can tick a box to let you see avatars and signatures, you just can't have your own until you've 25 posts :) Not being able to thank posts yet is a bit annoying :P

    That involves spending more money though :P I think I'll save it, feel a bit sleepy already so I'll keep it until next week and enjoy it with some strawberries :)

    Enjoy your beer :P

    I always have black nails after a day in London.

    Remember a few days ago when I said I had realised I had a good bit of extra money? Car just broke down on the motorway, had to get it towed, two mechanics said timing belt and/or engine problem :( My poor baby car. This also means I'm 2 hours behind on work and have to take boyfriend's giant lump of a car to work tomorrow, not fun.

    Mmm prosecco and strawberries. I haven't drank prosecco in years as the last time I drank it, I drank 1.5 bottles of it at my cousins house. Never again. :(

    Will you have to get a new car?

    Isn't always the way, as soon as you have a bit of 'spare' cash (i;e cash that doesn't have to be used for bills, rent etc) and something comes up.

    I'm hoping that when I start my courses, I should be able to save €50 per week, hopefully more, so after thirteen weeks I should have €650 saved, deposit for a house share and hopefully rent/bills for a few months.

    Need to do some more maths, but if it goes to plan, I am hoping to be out of here come November/December. Fingers crossed :)

    Trying not to get my hopes up too much so if it doesn't go to plan I won't be too disappointed.

    When I bought a new toothbrush and toothpaste about two months ago I was thrilled for days afterwards lol :D

    Maybe it's just me, but I always feel better after brushing my teeth, don't know what it is. :o

    Yeah, I love brushing my teeth! I also love going to the dentist though. I had braces for 10 years or so, so I do like to take care of my teeth. :)

    I really like mine, find it handy to use (if slightly pain-in-the-hoop-y on my right hand) & get nice results from it

    If you want to try a stamping kit out without paying Konad prices I think Essence have a stamping kit, you just need a local pharmacy or what have you with one of the big stands

    Someone around here is playing 'untz untz' music, I can't even hear it but I can feel the 'thud thud thud' vibrating around the house. Knock it off, like! Might just have to start blasting all my Hanson albums in retaliation :D

    Ouch, that sounds painful - have you been icing it and taking anything for it, something like an anti inflammatory???

    Oh I hate when things like that happen, I feel all claustrophobic if I need to straighten my legs and I can't.

    Have killer headache, neck pain, too hot, today SUCKED, can't wait for the weekend to do nothing!

    No, I haven't. It's really only sore when I'm in work so I always forget about it until I'm back here!

    Try heat packs if you can, the thermacare ones are the business I've a knackered hip and knee and those get me through the day

    You'll either be heat or cold relieved, but not both, cold sends me into days of agony

    I just discovered the new cheeseboard, it's the junkyard :D

    Three slices of swiss roll, two ripple bars and a pack of KitKat popups :)

    I'd a great day today, surprised how good it was :)

    It has lead to a dilemna however :(
