Have fun, Liz
I'm proud of myself, just rang to explain something and get a new dr's appointment, all in Norwegian. Which doesn't sound like a big deal, but I HATE using the phone (weird I know!) and also I was calling my therapist which always makes me a bit worried haha

Well done
Doesn't sound weird at all. I HATED using the phone until I got a job where I had to do it all the time. Now I don't even think about it, but I know what you mean.

Talking to friend's is different though.
Ugh. I got out of bed this morning with a very sore back. I think I've slept in an awkward position, doesn't help that I have to cancel my physio appt that I should have on Monday. It was suggested that I go to the gym instead so I might have to enquire about that at some point....

My butt muscle still hurts from the other week! Had to do really light lower body stuff at the gym this week, didn't feel right

I think it's a lot better now though. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawn. Could so sleep soon. Think I'll have a poke about on Netflix instead!

I have spent the past week at work rearranging a stock room. this has involved repeatedly lifting very heavy boxes at full stretch above my head. Seriously, a box of hair is surprisingly heavy. Not only does this contravene the health and safety laws, it means that my entire body is hurting. I will be off soon to partake in some serious 'tics.
Kellye, the writing is going really well thanks. I started again from scratch in December, using some of the skills I was taught at my Arvon course. It's a new way of writing for me so it's strange but quite productive. I realise all that is very vague but you really don't want the long-winded version.
I sat down to write just now but Paul and Elfin are holding a very rowdy darts match in the hallway behind me and I can't concentrate at all.
What, that? It's a spade.

i went for so long not wearing a bra because i couldnt ever find a decent one that fitted after believing what the measurements were saying on these stupid websites, and i was to embarrassed to get measured. but i finally plucked up the courage few months ago, went in m&s, dont know whyi was so worried,the woman was fab!i measured at 38d i was shocked, i thought iwas only b/c. and the difference it made was amazing. it channges your whole body shape doesnt it having the correct bra size on,and now i cant imagine not wearing one

Re-started my Dukan today. I'm going to give it a month to settle into my better eating habits and then i'm going to start up swimming.
We also had some bad news on my OH's car. New engine needed which would cost more than the cars worth, so now on the hunt for another car

grrrr

Morning...I've killed my back >_<
In other news yesterday we completed an order for a friend of Dan's. She wanted two weeks worth of frozen "home-made" ready meals (she's a nurse and works nights). So we've got them all boxed and ready to go.

I have a burning sensation in my hip - it won't go away. I can't sleep on my side, it feels bruised but there is nothing there & occasionally it radiates down my thigh.
My codeine aren't touching it. AWESOME!
In other news, I'm off to see Dani next weekend.

Evening all.
Sarah, that sounds nasty :-/ ooh btw I'm back making dreads ATM, so if you want me to pop your business cards in with my orders I'd be happy too.
Amy, don't mention cookies, there are literally no biscuits in this house. If I buy them I eat them and I'm trying to be good. Damnit so want cookies naow.
I'm having these tickles of excitement about spring appearing, and plans for the future and things seem to be looking up. It's about time too I believe

It's colder than it needs to be here, too. I've got the ironing pile from hell that I intend to tackle this evening. But first I'm awaiting Chinese food. First takeaway this year.
What, that? It's a spade.

After reading about cookies, muffins and ice cream I'm really hungry and I'm supposed to be going to sleep!
I've got a hospital appointment in the afternoon and my boyfriend is coming over so I don't have to go alone.

I got a new phone at work today. It's the Nokia 820 - just put my sim card in it. I have to use it as it was given to me from Nokia themselves.
It's pretty swish.
