Followed TomTom but it said to keep left and bear right, couldn't quite work out what it meant so i missed the M58 turn, just ended up following A59 instead. Was nearly there and got a call from Sue - knew it would be her without answering or even looking at the phone. Got into the pub and practically got a menu thrown at me ;-D They were just about to order so i had to quickly decide on what i wanted to eat by the time the waitress got to me ;-D Had duck, then bread & butter pudding for afters. Was a great night - really nice company, chance to chat and laugh and was good to be with like-minded people and chat about music-type stuff. We've also almost sorted out a christmas 'do' and maybe going for a beach walk on new year's day :-D

* quick nip into tesco on way to last school

* at last school found out the world's getting smaller. a few weeks ago one of my mum's friends who she hasn't seen for 20 years turned up at our house well i found out today she's the auntie of a teacher at one of my schools apparently after she left here she went to see the family and she was telling them where she'd been and when she was talking (mainly about me) Hannah twigged and asked her was it me (at that point she hadn't said my name) i need to ask her next week which of the auntie's brothers is her dad cos my mum knows one of the brothers quite well but not the others

* went dancing, told Ann i'm not there next saturday but REALLY want to be there on the friday if at all possible - she said it's like i'm addicted ;-D ;-D

---------------------------------

* i've currently got what i call 'dragon-skin' at the moment and the strange rash on the inside of my left wrist. I'm slathering hand cream on my hands and ointment on my wrist

* think i might have to go back to the dentist :-( Been in pain since i was there last week :-( First of all i thought it was just as a result of what she did but that pain has gone now and it seems it's now in a tooth in my bottom jaw - which she has already filled in the past :-( This last week every single day i've woken up in pain cos obviously i haven't had painkillers through the night. I've bought some 12 hour painkillers today so if i take them when i go to bed hopefully i'll be ok in the morning
