Woke at 4.30 & couldn't get back to sleep. Been sat fiddling with my ebay stuff, playing online games & generally messing about. Contacted an old manager to ask if he'd do a reference if I need one.
Had a smashing BCUK NSSEB package! 4 Turkish Delight bars, gorgeous Galaxy coffee choccie (coffee & Turkish Delight in one parcel, yummmm), a sweet little Easter chick that twitters when you shake him & Sue Grafton's Q is for Quarry.
The chick is a source of great amusement as the dog seems to view it as an intruder. He's never been one for toys that make a noise (he's such a wimp) but every so often he will sit next to me & squeak while gazing at the chick. So I shake the chick & make it cheep & the dog goes rapidly into reverse:-) Even when I just hold it to him to sniff, he is still wary. I suppose I shouldn't tease him like that.
This year DH & I didn't get around to the Valentine's thing & as Easter approached we agreed no eggs. Well blow me down if he didn't buy me a silver bracelet instead. I felt so mean as I didn't get him anything! So I took him to the garden centre & let him spend £70 on plants LOL. I did buy him coffee & a sticky bun.
I don't write an entry very often, depends if I have something I want to mention/record/get off my chest etc. But I do regularly read the journals of my friends & while I may not comment, I mentally cheer their triumphs & send happy vibes to those that need it.
I tried to put some bits on Freecycle on Thursday & suddenly, my messages have to be approved by the list owner. I don't understand it. I've posted before without problem, I've been polite to anyone I've contacted & have collected items promptly. I e-mailed one of the mods but he hasn't got back to me yet. I am confused.
Today's excitement will consist of the gym (haven't been for ages), the bank, the post office & listing more stuff on ebay.
