Fixed (no booze for me, alas, I have to drive home)

I could always get my parents to pick me up from the station...

I can see it now..

"Fanksh fer pickin' me up mum, *hic* yer me beshtest mayte *hic*, I bl**dy love you, I do!"

I just get fuzzy headed/lose co-ordination with one bottle of wine. Thankfully I have never got like that^

Anyway, as this is my "task for independence" (I am travelling/doing it all on my own ), I don't think I should come back struggling to walk in a straight line- they might never let me come to Forum events (or out generally) ever again!

I really don't know how I used to get everywhere by train/bus before without going mad. Wherever I go there are always cancellations and delays!

Trains aren't so bad around here (from what the rest of my family say). So I hope I manage it without too much disruption!

Make sure you check the train company's website for engineering works and the like or you could end up in a spot of bother

I will. (and if all else fails, I will give in to "Independence" and get one parent to take me by car, and have a day in West Byfleet!)

Good move... and if they end up bringing you, you can go back to the plan of downing some wine and sleeping on the way home (I'm such a bad influence...)

I will drink some wine, after all, what is an evening meal without wine?! Just not a whole bottle (even if they bring me)

Someone's going to have to drink my share... otherwise I'll end up upside-down in a ditch somewhere

Maybe not such a good idea Solari! Ah well, if I am required to drink more, to make up for other people not drinking....

I seem to have a natural talent for justifying these things

Aha! Barry and I can drink your share Solari! Then I won't go home feeling fuzzy headed!

Busting for the loo!! (In fact I still am, but couldn't resist coming on to the forum!!)

Then go to the loo now Chevvy- especially as you aren't quick on your legs at the moment!

Yeah otherwise you'll end up doing a little red riding hood... but not with breadcrumbs

Listening to music and sunbathing in the garden. I had to come inside because my mum came home, and she doesn't approve of my being in the sun without being smothered in suncream first. Apparently, because I always get loads of freckles, and don't tan that easily, I will get burnt if I am outside for more than 2 minutes without sun protection.

Moaning with friends about how STUPID it is that we break up from school on Monday the 20th.

We have a half day, so are only in school until 2pm. So ridiculous. We're the only one in our area because all the other schools have used their inset days.

We won't do any work, so there's no point! And apparently, if we don't turn up, we've got a load of detentions waiting when we get back.

Hahahaha I've been now, without doing a little red riding hood I hasten to add!!!


My school used to finish at 2.30 normal time...so a half day for us would finish by 12 Sorry, that probably doesn't make you feel any better about it, but I always find it odd when schools finish later than that!

Our school is SUPPOSED to finish at twenty to four, but usually the teachers don't let us out until quarter to. I don't mind, since I walk home, but it can be horrible for people who catch buses.

Clarinet teaching

I know you love that smiley but it grates on me for some reason.. so...

awww....









































you can't keep a good smiley down

Folding t-shirts in a way that my girlfriend would probably criticise

It's a bit cool tonight, that'll warm the yay up nicely

I think we need a smiley protection club

As to what I was doing - the washing up *wishes for a kitchen big enough for both a washing machine and a dish washer*

Damn thing just won't die

Where did you get that one, Sol? I could find a hundred uses for it!

Can't remember now, but feel free to nick it and re-host it

vacuuming cat hairs off the sofa

Getting ready for bed. I'm in bed now using my iPhone to post. Tired after a 5 hr drive to the outlaws in Suffolk.

Returning from London after watching my son in a performance of Acis and Galatea in Covent Garden (the actors' church rather than the Royal Opera House).

Erm, guess!?

Saving the world from a giant alien squid?

I don't think that was it, not that I can remember anyhow!

I walked down town with my younger sister earlier (she wanted apples and a fruit smoothie, I wanted soy yoghurts and wine- oh how healthy we are) and I didn't get ID'ed for the wine. I am only 19. *sniff sniff*

Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a connoisseur now then? Please tell me you're not touching that horrid Lambrini stuff?

I know that feeling, supposed to be ID'ed if you look anything less than 25 round here...I've been out for meals/to bars/to clubs etc, loads in the last few weeks to celebrate end of exams, people coming home from uni, dates, general get together-ness, etc...and not been ID'ed once!! Before exams I was ID'ed pretty much everytime I approached a bar, except for in my locals... (I live in a village with 8 pubs ) Exams have aged me 5/6 years in three weeks!!!

Never tried Lambrini. I stick to some dry white wine, or vodka and orange juice. Nothing else!
I doubt I am a connoisseur, don't know very much about alcohol...

Chablis or Sancerre for me Yum!

Only time I have ever been asked for ID for alcohol was on my 18th birthday, when I was wearing an 'I am 18' badge in a pub I'd been drinking in many times in the past. The village I grew up in had 2 pubs 1 where there was a very strong chance of meeting someone's parents and the other was run by the former deputy head of my school who knew the year of birth of each and every one of us. With no off licence within 3 miles teenage drunken behaviour was rather rare!

I don't think there's much chance of getting asked now though - it's more a challenge to find the 1 person on the checkout in Sainsburys who is old enough to sell a bottle of wine without waving it around to show everyone who knows me that I'm about to undo all the good work I'd just done in the gym!



Getting back on topic: Checking my e-mails to find out where I need to drive to today and wishing I was still asleep.

Practising hymns for tomorrow - and enjoying the first time that I _heard_ the chord inverting.

Painting the church hall with a group of friends, and having some very interesting discussions about things!

Eating doughnuts with my family in the kitchen and generally chatting randomly

Driving Mrs and Mrs Outlaw to Tesco. I'm surfing by iPhone whilst they shop

Getting the car cleaned and getting some petrol, ready for my jaunt to Fleet this evening
