one scraged leg which led to an infection which required antibiotic cream, which was replaced with a bandage and antibiotics which led to a reaction, swollen lips and tongue, more antibiotics and a huge swelling and i’m pleased to say i finally have the web - woo hoo!

i think it’s fair to say a month without the web at home has taken it’s toll…. i certainly need my holiday to recover

to the guy who lives in apartment 4,

i just wanted to drop you a note to sincerely apologise for any distress caused through seeing me naked on saturday. i really didn’t know that fake tan could set off the fire alarm and i appreciate you coming down to check that i wasn’t on fire. i promise that in future, i will ensure all of the blinds are closed before getting undressed and yes, you’re right, it really is hard work being a girl.

my sincerest apologies once again,

the rather embarrassed although lovely tanned, mel x

i was driving to work today and it struck me that i’ve got quite a few quirky things that i do. i don’t know why i’ve never noticed it before, but i’m hoping i’m not the only one that…

• ducks in their car when driving under a bridge
• closes their eyes when they squeeze their car through a tight gap
• leans forward and breaths in when driving up a steep hill
• shivers when they’ve driven over a squashed hedgehog (i don’t kill them, i just always seem to find them in the road!)
• drives quicker when there’s an upbeat song on the ipod
• leaves the house and then wonders whether they locked it
• can’t remember whether they turned the iron/hair straightners/oven off after they leave the house
• have to salute a magpie, say good morning to it and tell it the time (it’s bad luck if you don’t!)

ok, so now it just looks like i have issues. please say i’m not the only one!
