Because I just can't say no. Thanks Bun.

My ex was an interesting chap. I say interesting in the sense that it's the politest way of describing him without actually becoming insulting (which I'm sure would be fully justified but I just can't be arsed).

Maybe I should get off the computer and go and get my free lunch.

I love my family and friends, including those that I've gotten to know through blogging.

People would say anything in a magazine if it would earn them some money.

I don’t understand either of my boys. Maybe it's because they're men.

When I wake up in the morning it's always hard work.

I lost many things. It's like I just put them down and they disappear of the face of the planet.

Life is full of temptations.

My past has certainly been a varied one. You can't say I've stuck to the same path all my life...

I get annoyed increadibly easily. I'm not the most tolerant person.

Parties are great when you're a kid. They're never quite the same once you pass about 8 years old.

I wish that we were much more at ease financially

Dogs are by no means as great pets as cats.

Cats are the ultimate pets and an absolute must-have.

Tomorrow I will be starting my new job.

I have low tolerance of traffic, public transport, old people in the supermarket on a Saturday afternoon (ditto the post office at lunchtimes).

If I had a million dollars I would change it into pounds. Then it would probably just about cover a house purchase.

I’m totally terrified of... erm... nothing. I really can't think of anything right now.

Drinks

I like water. Good water that is. Not like the water in Brasilia, which tastes like the tap's connected to a swimming pool. Not like the water we get in our flat, which just tastes wrong. Give me a good bottle of water, a glass that's run through a filter, from a good tasting tap or even straight from a mountain spring (yes, I've drunk water straight from the ground in the past) and I'll be happy. Give me bad tasting water and I won't want to touch it. Which is the case at our place.

So to avoid the taste of bad water I live on squash (sugar-free, of course). But Y doesn't like me doing it for some reason. Says it's not good for me (lets ignore the fact that when I'm at work I drink probably three litres of plain, good water).

So, we struck a deal. We bought a water filter in the hope that it would get me to drink more plain water. The only catch was that if we bought the filter, I would have to drink the water. The trouble is, the taste hasn't improved much. And I'm stuck drinking the water. But at least Y's happy.
