Dinkie Dawnies Dubious Diary of Downsizing, Deflation, and Debauchery

I'm sure the resus topic was hard... I had never actually thought of the scenario of being a relative and just watching your loved one slip away because of the NFR form being signed.. How awful.. I have strong views as my Dad was on a life support machine for three weeks after going in to septic shock very suddenly... He had always said I'd rather just go than be resuscitated etc. but if that had been the case, he would have died and instead (despite suffering multiple organ failure and given a 10% chance) he made a full recovery and is around to tell the tale almost four years later. Makes you think doesn't it?

I'm glad you enjoyed the course and hope you have a wonderful week off xxxx

Looking forward to a bit of a lie in tomorrow, although we have got the dentists in the morning.

So there's me expecting to be hauled over the coals for not being able to go swimming this morning - when I've got a real reason because of doing a favour for a colleague which I can't do until 7.30 - and what are you doing?

Having "a bit of a lie in"???

Well, where's the "support" in that?

Hmmmm. I might have to go back to my former description of your activities. Clearly, if it's not support, it must be nagging.
 
Evening all x

Well...feels like I dodged a bullet tonight as I managed to squeeze an official half pound loss which was pretty good considering I wouldn't go last week as I was 4lbs up lol! So I'm happy to just dip a toe into the 9's again...probably not for long though!

We didn't have to go to the dentist this morning as it's been put back to next week so I decided to go shopping! :bliss:

I bought a new camera recently which needed an SD card so I drove down to Staples to get one. Then I thought I'd better go to the bank to get some money out for Saturdays little jaunt out :D And when I parked up, I was right outside the Nail shop so I kinda had to pop in and have a full set of acrylic nails lol! :whistle:

Next I walked down to the tattoo place and spoke to them about a couple of tattoos I want. I've got some ideas, but don't know exactly what I want, or where to get them done, so I'm still looking around. Mind you, I'd really like to get one done next week while I'm off work :eek:

And then I had to go past Asda, and it would've been rude not to go in, so I ended up with a new jumper :cool:

After that I pootled down to the hospital and twisted Sarahs arm for a cuppa in the canteen, and we got our plan of action sorted for Saturday :clap:

And now I'm knocking back a Cobra beer that Andrew just found in the shed, and I've got a handful of Vickis popcorn, and I'm about to try and figure out how to work this camera! Wish me luck!

Catch you later hopefully! xxx

For a minute there I thought it said porn!!?!..:D

Funnily enough I had my first acrylic extensions today...:) ... and as for the tattoo..I have always wanted either a butterfly or a little dragon on my arm!
(Think I already had the dragon on my back for many a year..:rolleyes:)

Sounds like a busy happy day there.

Wow what a fun day you had. What are your nails like? My nearest nail bar no longer do acrylics because apparently they are harmful for your nails? Not sure in what way, probably just weakens them, but instead they do shellac which is a pretty cool uv nail paint that lasts a week or two. Anyway what colour did you go for?

Tattoo??? Ooooh!! Where and what? Had you got any already? I'd be too much of a wimp to ever have one done.

Well done on weight loss. Excellent work as ever.

What you up to today? Not long til your big meet up :)

Have a great day xxx

Coooee Dawn, yes I can vouch for shellac/gellish mails. I've got some lovely grey ones now (look better than they sound). It lasts 3 weeks and makes your nails rock hard. Mine were short and flaky breaky before and it's your own nail so it looks, well, like your own nails...

...and a tattoo..? you'll be having your belly button pierced soon. Ah! don't tell me ...

Hi Hannah x

Well I'm taking it with me tomorrow but I'm not sure I'll remember how to use it! I need some practice really. So I'm going to take the old camera with me too but the battery has about had it so it doesn't last long.

I'm really getting into shopping now, especially if I can get a bargain in a charity shop etc :D

Hellooo Penny!

Spent most of the day food shopping and then getting ready for the big day! Can't believe it's tomorrow! :eek:

We're only there for the day, but I have to make sure |I take everything I need...stuff for Bev and Steve, fat jeans, camera x 2 plus batteries, walking boots, walking coat, gloves, money, make up, mobile, emergency undies, chewing gum...you'd think I was going for a week! Sarah's picking me up at 8am so I want to be all ready for her.

My nails seem to be ok atm...although I did manage to smudge one :rolleyes: I'll post a pic from my phone in a minute for you. They were only £20 which I thought was pretty good, and the re-fills are £15.

I've never had a tattoo done :eek: As I said to Emms, I'd quite like a small red dragon tattooed somewhere about my person, but the main one I want is going to be either across my lower back, or up my back or side, depending on how brave I am! I'd like a vibrant flowers design in pinks and green but still haven't found exactly what I want yet. I'm going to try a few tattooists in town next week to see what they have. It may just be a mixture of something I see on the net and what I have in my head lol!

Hi Pomooky! You're like the Scarlet Pimpernel, popping up here and there lol! ;)

If I had a lovely smooth flat belly I'd love to pierce my belly button! But as it is now, it's definitely best hidden away and not drawing attention to lol! :rolleyes:

Good grief Penny!

Shocking! ;)
 
Sounds great Dawn, do hope things go well...quite envious of your meet...and the nails are brill.

Should have been at Cambridge now for an OU meeting in the morning but it got cancelled at THE very last mo', just as I was about to go out of the door on the road!!..:cry:
At least I'm at home in the warm and not in a strange guest house room...:)

I see you just posted on my diary so you know all the ins and outs.... but all for the best hey?!
 
Yes, I think so Emmaline x And I'm assuming its only postponed so hopefully you'll have it soon.

I can't sleep! Must be too excited about the meet lol!

I'd still like to come and see u when we next go to Norfolk x
 
Morning!

We're on our way! Woo woo! Sarah picked me up at 8 and so we must be about half way there!

It's a beautiful day with no hint of snow, and Sarahs driving is very good so I haven't needed the emergency undies yet!

Had texts from Gail and Bev, and Steves just phoned to say he's making good time, and that its 2 degrees colder now than it was when he got up!

I'll update later with lots of pics! Xx
