Mumble Report post Posted February 17, 2008 I've had a lovely day with my sister. Really needed it else I may have exploded today over the stress of my meeting tomorrow. We went (lots of) wine tasting all afternoon - the more we had the more we took literally the 'proper' wine tasting methods - swirl and slurp, swirl and slurp!! :wine: :wine: :wine: :drunk: :drunk: Also got to try some interesting cocktails and shots of very alcoholic substances - yeuch!!! But the best thing was, it only cost us �1.25 each :thumbs: as we'd found money off coupons and a 2 for 1 offer We followed it with a trip to a prison and torture museum where I got my feet stuck in the stocks :lol: Got a bit of a headache (and ankle ache!!) now . . .

Mumble Report post Posted February 17, 2008 Well really Mumble, you might have invited me along, talk about a tailor made event for me.. Well when you come down for the Greenwich group, we can go then - I can teach you my vast quantities of (stainless steel vat fermented - better for the overal taste ... something to do with the temperature - but kinda wasn't listening then) wine induced sniff, swirl, slurp, swallow technique!!! And I now know how to tell the alcohol content of a wine of glass without reading the bottle label - very very important skill!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted February 18, 2008 I have a headache! (Hmm, can't think why ). Why is this a positive - because I'm going to be a right grump in my meeting with disability witch later and she deserves every bit of my grumpiness. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rainbow queen Report post Posted February 18, 2008 i thought id join in with this thread as i relise its very hard to see the postives sometimes and i get very stuck in a negative cycle myself..........i relise that there is many positives in a day -even if they are just small windows of them -and i now try to savour them when i can...... today has been a very good day -my son was good for me this morning (one of major things that we are trying to sort out at mo-the morning routine) and also at home time i worked double hard when i picked him up and all through tea time to try and help him stay calm ....and it worked too..........so feeling very happy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ScienceGeek Report post Posted February 18, 2008 Bought a bunch of daffs...I love that first bunch of the year, makes me feel as though spring is on its way Boho We have some in a couple of vases on top of the dvd shelves. They have opened up already! Brings a little bit of colour to our messy flat. I'm really liking the fact that it is light by 7:30 now so I don't have to walk to the station in the dark anymore It seems a lot lighter and brighter outside nowadays Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oxgirl Report post Posted February 19, 2008 I can now go for a twenty min run and leave Jay at home on his own. I take my phone with me, but he doesn't bother to call me (thank goodness!! ) and he doesn't even miss me when I'm gone. I'm gonna extend it to a 30 min run soon. Back in the Summer, the thought of me popping out of the house for two mins and leaving him absolutely terrified him and was unimagineable. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oxgirl Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks Pearl. Yep, we've come a long way since the Summer. It's great, 'cos during holidays I could never run during the week and had to wait 'til the weekend or 'til DH got home from work and I never felt like it then, but now I can pop out in the morning, so it's all good and it makes a huge difference. ~ Mel ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss Report post Posted February 21, 2008 My mum is taking the girlies out for the day. I feel like getting me PJ's back on, making a cuppa and going back to bed to read for the day.....but I know I'd feel too guilty so I'll crack on with the ironing, put yet another load of washing on, make a low fat lasagna for tea, sweep up and hoover downstairs, sort my eyebrows out (which are taking over my face), and trudge round the supermarket....... But, after all that moaning still have the day to myself Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
