40 minutes of intervals for me this morning, knackered but feel great.

Oh you just had to link Sporcle, didn't you. That's fuck all getting done this afternoon then.

You've had an utterly shit day and the only thing that genuinely lifts your spirits is learning that your electricity payments are going down (by around 55%).

Used to bite my nails when I was younger but managed to stop one day and never started again. I do have an awful habit of picking little bits of skin off my fingers around the nail area though. I'd be hopeless at a crime scene, leaving little bits of my skin everywhere.

Ok then.

I did that yesterday, paused for a moment then thought.. "nah, I can't".

I was taught to count the 15 by reciting Nelly the Elephant in my head as it's the right number of beats.

I did a pretty decent first aid course at school as part of my Duke of Edinburgh award, never had to use it though. I like to think I'd remember enough now to at least have a bash at helping someone. Of course that's on the assumption I was able to remain calm enough - not sure how I'd react if it was a family member on the deck. That said mind, my mam always insists I'd be able to stay calm, citing one time where she spilled hot water all over her hand and arm and then panicked & froze. Apparently I stayed calm (I was about 8 or 9) and got it under cold water etc. I have no recollection of this though so I'm not convinced it ever happened.

Pizza is my preferred choice because I could eat it all the time. I love a good Indian takeaway as well but I have to be in the mood for it. Chinese is the sort of thing I occasionally crave as a takeaway but almost always end up disappointed with what I get. I much prefer going to a Chinese restaurant for a meal rather than ordering in. Hate fish & chips, and not been to McDonalds or BK for ages.

It was a bit of a struggle to have a sober matchday yesterday but I was so pleased when I woke up this morning feeling great. Got loads done today as well.

Exactly this. 2 were grandparents who'd been ill for a while. The other was a lad from school killed on holiday, that was awful and I wasn't even a close friend.

Lost 2lbs this week and going to have a week or two off the drink. I've felt proper unhealthy the last few weekends with loads of alcohol - though on the bright side I've been eating alright. Can't wait to have an early start in the gym tomorrow, love it on a Saturday morning when I can get on everything easily.

I'll get a card and pay for my mam's meal on Sunday when we go out.. as long as she gets some sort of happy hour thing.

Not quite until someone judges how hot a piece of food is by comparing it to 7 billion jalapeños.

I was genuinely gutted the first time I was on the metro and a mam told her bairn to "stand up so the lady can sit down". THE LADY! I felt about 900 years old.

Class. Only seen that a few times, there's been some right thickos on and I'm crap at football trivia myself.

Air Crash Investigation & anything murderer related on the Crime channel are what I like to watch as well.

You read this thread nodding your head in agreement then realise most of the other posters are older than you.

That's what you would do, isn't it Aye.

That video, what a load of shit. Blatantly on string, why the fuck would you be filming that corner of the room anyway. I used to have that chair, minus the wheels, and mine wasn't haunted. Also I'd like to think any self-respecting ghost would hoy the thing right across the room and smash a load of stuff, not just carefully pull it over to one side.

I'm probably not your typical woman but the idea of spending thousands of pounds on one day is absolute madness to me. My sister's getting married in a few weeks and that was just going to be a smallish affair but the cost is still pretty high.

JawD's post reminded me actually, I get this quite a bit.

Ahh, eye floaters. They're so annoying.

I'm alright with some ok-range glasses every couple of years and eye tests get paid for by work. Mind I'm going to flatten you if they get on my nerves next time I'm running.

Cheap shot.
