UP : I can wash it, and it was only £20! And it looks FAB the most fattering coat and looks really expensive.  [smiley=gorgeous.gif]

I hope you meant "flattering" not "fattering"!  ;)

UP:  Lovely lunch, cakes & afternoon spent with MLG (at her house).  :)

IA:  Sadly, Andee got called into work at the last moment early this morn (not Andee's fault!) & wasn't able to join us as we had planned.  We missed her.  :(

UP: Meeting friends for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. Unsweetened iced tea, here I come!

IA: Trying to eat better and there is not one healthy thing on their menu.

It certainly did!  And now I've got Saturday off in place of yesterday--can't complain about that!  :D  Mrs. R. and I may get together for a coffee and catch-up session then!  :)

IA:  Had a bit of a hangover this morning.  I'm becoming such a lightweight!  Can't drink much of anything anymore without paying for it the next day.  Boo!  (or maybe I just need to remember to drink lots of water, along with the firewater, but anyway...)

UP:  Managed to push through the headachey, mild nausea & ended up getting a crapload of chores done today - so I feel very accomplished!

I've concluded its the heat- It left me feeling awful ,awful, awful, awful, yesterday - because I didn't drink too much the night before :-\\\\

Yeah, it could have been that.  We walked five miles in the heat yesterday, and then split a bottle of white wine with supper.  I don't think my body was able to cope with all those reparative demands simultaneously - dehydration, muscles, fatigue & liver!  :P

Mentioned to a co-worker that I'm planning to hand my notice in later this week.  She was sad & said it's even more horrible there on the days that I'm not in the office - when she knows I'm going to be in, she knows she can at least look forward to that because it's good fun to work alongside me.  Awwww.  :\\\'(

It's not reason enough to stay though.  :-\\\\
