Well done!

Where are you doing it? Will there be tea and biscuits?

Thank you! How about a random question, what's your favourite fruit? Mine is apples, especially sour ones.

limitededitionbarbie · 16/10/2022 17:36

Have you been watching married at first sight?

I realise these are crap questions but it give you something to type.

Clench and unclench your buttocks! Apparently it makes the blood flow faster. And even if it doesn’t, it’s good exercise Grin

MumofSpud · 16/10/2022 17:37

Tea will be cereal
Film ummmm I will have a think

At Westfield- all my local appointments were cancelled over the last few months

DD was delighted that there was an urban outfitters opposite - this has cost me a fortune!

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses?

limitededitionbarbie · 16/10/2022 17:38

God did you give her a limit? Mine see a limit as a target to hit!

limitededitionbarbie · 16/10/2022 17:38

Today is so boring.

MumofSpud · 16/10/2022 17:38

Correct

Well done you!

Hope it goes better than my last donation session, which was at work. They gave me a ball to squeeze to speed up the blood coming out. It came out too quick, I sat up after they disconnected me and apparently went sheet white, so senior nurse hauled me to the fainters bed right at the door and made me lie down with my legs in the air. My boss wandered in for his appointment as I was there. As if that wasn’t bad enough, when I had been allowed to sit up and drink my own body weight in squash, she accosted a random woman to take me to the loo in case I keeled over. Still cringing now.

I will make a tv recommendation-
The thing about Pam. Very good. Can you make any recommendations?

MumofSpud · 16/10/2022 17:44

All done!
Now having squash and a Kit Kat!

Thank you allGrin

Too much considering she bought black cargo pants and a black top!
No offence against charity shops but that is what is was like and loads of 'Scooby Doo fashion'Grin
