Don't you just hate that feeling when you can't remember what you did the night before and don't know if you offended anyone? I'll be in uber quiet mode today... ph34r.gif

Oh yeah. Been there, done that.... When I was in my first year I had a habit of waking up in friends's bed (they weren't in it) wondering how I'd got there. Especially during freshers week. There's this one night and all I can remember is a hedgehog blink.gif

I got into a bit of trouble for that last year and was soooo glad to leave the country for 3 months shortly after! I think I would have died of embarrassment otherwise! biggrin.gif As a general rule, I *never* use my phone when drunk now except to call a taxi. Learned my lesson there tongue.gif

Leeds city centre post office now has a ticketing system in place, much like a supermarket deli counter. Is this a common system in post offices? blink.gif

I've never seen this before, but if it tells you an estimated wiat then it might be good. unsure.gif Our post office just has a very long queue which sometimes goes all the way out the door. I had to queue for over half an hour yesterday to get the tax disc for my car. glare.gif

My random comment is that I now seem to suddenly have 5 blue boxes under my name rather than 4. I take it that 2000 posts must have been one of the magic points where you suddenly change from one category to the next. wacko.gif It means that BB2 and I don't match anymore. sad.gif

You've become a virtuoso - well done Flossie! smile.gif When BB2 gets to 2,000, you'll match again, and she isn't far off 2,000. smile.gif

I am well gormless. Put a candle on the windowsill a few days ago. Glorious rays of sunlight shone towards it and warmed it up... it has changed shape somewhat and I've had to clean up. Worst of it is that it's a red candle and there looks to be blood everywhere. Beggar!

Seemed like a good idea. biggrin.gif The original plan was to walk back too, but our legs were aching and Rosie (chocolate lab) had stopped jumping in the river so must have been tired too, so we got the train back.

Not all trains in Cambridge are National Express : the train I usually use to get there is run by First Capital Connect smile.gif

Maybe, I wouldn't know as we got off the stop before. The train from Cambridge to Ely was fine yesterday though, so it must just not be National Express.

It depends how tame the ferret is. A lead is a leash.

Sorry, I should have said leash!

I didn't realise ferret-walking was such a common occurrence - it was certainly a new experience for me!!
