OIL ANYONE?

My gorgeous ROXY (Toyota Highlander) has to go to the doctor today. She got recalled for a potential problem with an oil hose. She is also going to have her 6 monthly checkup. I'm sure it will all go fine.


While she's at the doctors I will have to walk the streets! As the Garage is not too far from shops, I don't think that will be a problem, do YOU? lol

Last night I started work on a doll... no idea what I'm doing... just making it up as I go.. kinda normal that!

ONWARD....

While Roxy was being tended to, I wandered down to the nearest shops.. and passed a BB's Coffee Shop... as I hadn't had breakfast (well actually I never do!).... I stopped and had morning tea.. a diet coke (what else?) and a bacon, cheese and onion scone. OMG that scone was TO DIE FOR! I was so, so tempted to buy a couple more for my lunch... but I resisted as they were soooo stodgy and laden with carbs. *sigh* Score 1 for the day I suppose.

So, as a consequence I didn't do any shopping. I read the paper, drank me diet coke and savoured my scone.

Home now, got to do a bit of housework... Yaaa friggin ya... and then do some sewing I think....

End of Day: it's been the most stinking hot/damp/muggy evenings in ages! I dread going to bed... last night it took me hours to get to sleep. Since I stopped taking the sleeping pills and the HRT I have started to suffer again. Pffffffft. Luckily I'm going to see the Dr on Thursday. nite nite.

  8. Interesting that Stew takes Metformin...have you ever asked your doctor about taking it for weight loss? The reason I ask is that it's what my doctor put me on to help kick my metabolism in gear. It has made a HUGE difference for me. My doc told me that it is usually used to help regulate blood sugar, but if there isn't a blood sugar issue, it will help with metabolism...it's worth talking to your doc. about.
