It's ALL your fault....

Yep, I'm talking to each and every one of you. Tonight, I had something that I haven't had for a very very long time..... The house to myself ;) The chance to sit and watch something I want to watch on TV, or maybe sit and watch a chick-flick with a glass of wine. But No, I can't even look at my couch these days, what do I do instead? Housework! iPod on full blast, dancing around the house singing at the top of my voice (not a good experience for anyone who might have heard me!!) Then, when I do eventually sit down, at the table I might add, I find myself logging into poppy-run.com and booking myself in to do a 5K charity run in, like, 23 days time :p. What was I thinking? Ah well, it's all for a good cause, keep your fingers crossed for me, oh and at least I now have a clean & tidy house, for a few hours at least

Sounds an ideal evening! I must admit, I had house to self, but sat on sofa, knitting a hat to keep head warm on the winter runs!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You have made me laugh so much tears are pouring down my face. Oh you are so funny eshaz. Def has this affect though-I cleaned my kitchen yesterday, while the blike was fitting our new staircase-guess who's booked in to prime and paint it today? Just thought i'd look into my emails first. You made my day eshaz. Going to contact re c10-25 also as promised. Speak soon-happy dancing and good luck with the charity run. Give me the link and I'll sponsor you :-)

Oh what a sad lot we are ;) Good luck with the Poppy Run, where are you doing it? As long as nothing goes wrong, I will have graduated a couple of days beforehand, nothing like taking the bull by the horns!!
