    Ideally a bottle of Molecule but that'll be around 100 which I really can't afford so might go for a small Jo Malone which will be around 50 and tide me over a while :)

    Just home from a 24 hour shift in work.. I hit the wall about two hours ago and now I'm on my second wind and waiting for overwhelming exhaustion to take me away for a few hours sleep.. (in short, I'm home).

    Has anyone seen sight or sound of Graces lately? Her last post nearly a week ago and she didn't respond to a PM I sent a few days ago. Just a bit worried as she hasn't been very well according to posts here.

    Lying down in my friend's house, absolutely knackered but very, very happy. I passed my viva on Monday and have spent the last two days celebrating, eating too much food, and generally being more sociable than usual. So now I'm crashing and have treated myself to a netflix free trial so I have something to look at while I do absolutely nothing.

    It's an oral exam at the end of your PhD - you have two experts in your field who try to pick holes in your thesis, ask you why you didn't include some stuff they've written, and prove to it's your own work.

    Mine wasn't as scary as that sounds, though. I'd two nice examiners, a relaxed setting, and a bottle of champagne at the end (though they had to rush out and buy me a bottle of lilt when they realised I didn't drink:) )

    I'm obviously dehydrated after being sick all night. A can of lilt sounds delish!

    Slooooowwllyy drinking a mug of coffee kitchen tableside to delay all the sh1t that needs to get done today. As it is such a beautiful day I will get off my bum and get going, all that needs doing is within walking distance and not too much to be carried home. I will maybe fit in my favourite walking route too :)

    Waiting for gym class to start, late one today. It was this or nothing. There's a 2 year old sitting beside me (you can bring them if you're stuck :D) she's singing along with the music.. Lol. Word for word. She's so cute. Can't wait to see her on the bikes. :D

    Back at home after my seminar at uni and mini grocery shop after. The seminar was good, we workshopped the draft of our monologues and got some feedback on what we could improve. Will edit it a bit tomorrow, and hopefully submit it tomorrow evening (it's due Friday :eek:) On the plus side, it'll by my first assignment submitted in an English uni as an Erasmus student :D

    I went with your recommendation, northgirl, completely forgetting that I am a total scaredy-cat. And that everyone else who lives here would be out till at least ten. So now I'm hiding in my bed in a big old farmhouse in very rural, very dark mid-Wales, waaay to afraid to go downstairs for tea cause God knows what's lurking out there.
