Today has been spent mainly lying down watching TV or in bed. This is purely due me having caught a cold. I'm not DYING, as most men are said too, but dying (in very small letters, even smaller than these).
We started the day with me feeling very UGGGHHHH!!! However we had to go to town as we had to transfer our deposit to the solicitor in preparation our impending decent into penuary for the next 20 years. We managed to keep the bank people entertained with comments on obtaining our money through drug dealing and bank robbery.
FW also laughed as we emerged from a major high street pharmacy with me being lightheaded and swirving around as we walked. However she wasn't so impressed after I'd visited our local Ottakers (a chain of bookshops). Having selected 2 books I then saw one (Merde Actually) I'd wanted too read since reading the first. It was on a 3 for 2 offer. Therefore I had to buy 2 others on offer as well.
Standing at the checkout I was commenting on how evil the store was. How it loured you in and then "made" you purchase more than you intended. The clerk was smiling and trying not to laugh. Then, as we finished the transaction, he kept checking the receipt and said something that sounded like "you've got 2 free there but what the heck!" Upon checking my receipt I had indeed got 2 books free. So I got 5 for 3 but only 3 were part of the actual offer. COOL!!!!!
FW had said how she'd look after me as I was ill. I could therefore go home to bed and she'd make sure I was ok. Well, until we got home. Then she declared that she'd run out of Nrgggg and was unwell. "I'll just go and have a lie down," she said. So I lay on the settee and watched the Hudsucker Proxy. Yet I'm the one who's ill.....
Fair play she did make me chicken soup and brought me a generic Lemsip later. Mind you she's got the energy to go riding tonight....
Hopefully my next post will tell you that we've got the house signed, sealed and delivered.
