I,m so happy for you Clara

It's okay I've worked it out. He knows I wouldn't be able to afford to go to both (especially since I normally have to pay for his ticket so the GoodWood weekend would end up costing at least £400) and so would be forced into not going on my own anyway.

BUT I have a cunning plan...

Can't think of one...wait...I'm still breathing!

Just got back from the CPA's anual Red Carpet Affair deal. My CPA worker, Vahen, scored me some last minute tickets. Pics later, sleep now cus it'a 1:30am and I's tired

I expect that's going to require some explanation.

I wouldn't explain it. Sometimes the unknown is much more exciting.

Chris, I have to say you look distinctly underwhelmed by the experience. What's a CPA worker?

[Ratticis]

Thas mostly due to extreme tirdness, plus when you get tickets 2 days before you end up right at the back with some dorks. Bunch of stuffed shirt type gimps with noses in the air and no sence of humor. Plus the meal left something to be desired, that fancy catered crap with serving sizes smaller than a golf ball really aren'y my style. Plus the wine tasted like terpentine and kool-aid. We grabbed a couple burgers on the way outta town. But, despite all that crap, t'was a pretty good evening. Celerberty type people really don't phase me. never have, the're just people. Zupan was a pretty good guy, but didn't really get much of a chance to talk to him because of the swarm forming around him, but it was all good.

CPA = Canadian Parapalegic Association, aka (mostly by me) as the Crippled Canuck Crew.

Cooked a three course meal for mother and family last night (mothers day) and she didn't complain even once about my making a mess in the kitchen, she even complimented me on my cooking skills and said that I should do this more often!

This comes from the woman who normally complains if I so much as make a glass of orange juice that I've not left everything as she wants it and moans that anything I cook looks funny and bans the likes of curries and anything involving the use of spices in the house as they are simply too smelly (if I buy fish and chips on my way home at 22:00 after a meeting I am made to sit and eat them in the garden regardless of wind rain and snow).

My Mediterranean dishes provided a wonderful change from my parents normal diet of
Meat: roasted
Vegetables: boiled and unseasoned
Gravy: thick

(I'm serious - they have that EVERY DAY without fail. It's even a joke amongst my friends now that my parents are being a bit exotic if they spot anything other than beef or chicken being used).

BUT and this is the best bit - I LOVED DOING IT!!! I can't wait until I get my own kitchen again (fingers crossed for that happening this summer!) So that I can cook away once more to my hearts content. I realised just how much I missed making my own bread and ice cream (the old fashioned way - no fancy machines here) not to mention flicking through the BBC Good Food website for inspiration (though I have now book marked enough meals to ensure I am never going to loose any weight).

As an aside - no one seems to have died or suffered massive stomach upsets so it's all good

Glad it all worked out. Did you get one of those "below stairs people" to do the washing up?

I've had words with daddy about this and he still refuses to start having servants again which is just ridiculous. For starts he always talks about the poverties and mass unemployment and what a disgrace the under class are by having babies, but if he hired the staff back that would be 16 less people in the poor house and I'm sure birth control would be written into their contracts to avoid any more scandal (really it was most shocking! Emily was such a timed little girl, who'd ever have guessed she had such loose morals or knickers).

At least mummy put her foot down about him trying to rent out the staff quarters as a youth hostel.

Now that is a trio of very good reasons to feel good!

New bras!

Dieting?

[ClaraTaylor]

New bras!

Dieting?

Alas no!! Trying too I really am. But the new medication (I'm blaming the medication) is piling on the pounds and I haven't had chance to loose any from the pregablin bulk up. Unfortunately dieting is very difficult as I'm struggling to have control over what I eat but now the warmer weather is out I must stop hiding under my blankets and get some more exercise. Only five months til I potentially am moving out! Which of course will mean I will be far too skint from buying a house to eat anything with fat in

I adopted a little puppy from the Doggie Rescue . I get to go get Sat. Sooooooooo excited!

[greybeard]

Bravo! Goose.

[goose]

I'm leaving in just a few hours to go get my new puppy. The shelter has named her Prim from the movie Hunger Games. I haven't seen the movie so I'm undecided about her name. Any suggestions? She's a yorkie terrier mix around 12 weeks old.

Inspection of the EC buttocks this morning reveals a dramatic improvement in my pressure sore, according to Mrs EC. I had been resigned to spending most of April in bed but she is of the opinion that 1 week should see it healed!!
Whoop, Whoop, Whoopee!

My cousin has just given birth to a 9lb 14oz blond haired chubby boy.

Hopefully that'll keep mother quiet from talking about grandchildren for a while.
