Well for the finances and for jokes I've been sticking with a veggie diet. Been going 2 weeks now

Onset of nausea last night after I accidentally missed a meal and went to bed. I am happy to report I can stick at it because its next door's paint fumes

It occurred to me in the past 2 years I have spent a fortune on two eye tests, four pairs of glasses and contact lenses. Definitely approaching the magical £1000 figure :(

True I could say not break frames like they are going out of fashion but you live and learn painful lessons. And there are worse expenses than your eyesight

Have been a Specsavers customer. Then a detour to glassesdirect.co.uk who are a good deal cheaper. And last week Vision Express. At least the 2 year accidental damage cover is only £35 :god:

Sigh...

P.S. Still not drinking all that much :) :) ]]> LFC_SL http://www.avforums.com/forums/blogs/lfc_sl-57267/529-price-your-precious-eyesight.html http://www.avforums.com/forums/blogs/lfc_sl-57267/251-free-first-class-train-ticket-chai.html Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:34:25 GMT London Euston were severely disrupted owing to the overrun engineering works at Rugby over the New Year one month ago...

My travel plans for Manchester Piccadilly -> London Euston were severely disrupted owing to the overrun engineering works at Rugby over the New Year one month ago...

But in my email inbox Virgin have given me a complimentary first class return ticket! :) :) Always maintained Virgin are the best train company in the country and their reputation is only further enhanced in my eyes given that I have already received a refund for the original journey I was unable to make

I have also discovered Twinnings Aromatics Chai... "a rich black tea infused with the flavour of Indian spices including cinnamon, cloves, ginger and star anise"

Can I just say it is amazing. Tastes half decent but so invigorating and revitalising. I have never felt so alert and awake in ages!

Wine doesn't count as its healthy :rolleyes: :grin: ;)

Now on bottle 2/4 (bought only 1 bottle before realising there was an offer on! Doh!)

Still can't taste different fruits (does it count towards my five a day?) or whatnot but I am acquiring a taste for wine now. Much nicer than beer and lager with image and health benefits too!

I finally get an early night! :clap: Sleep is so good. It loves you unconditionally. It is warm. It is kind. It is loving. It embraces you. Its sooo fantastically brilliant!

I've missed it. And its missed me. I love the night... so calm and peaceful.

Now it is my understanding we are not allowed to write anything self-deprecating in here as everybody. can. read. it.

To be added to when I have something witty/insightful/thought-provoking to say. Or when I just feel like having a good moan
