It was contagious, seventy pages.

 
There were pictures here and there,
So it wasn't hard to bear,

 
The day I read a book.

 
It's a shame I don't recall the name of the book.

 
It wasn't a history. I know because it had no plot.

 
It wasn't a mystery, because nobody there got shot.

The day I read a book ? I can't remember when,
But one o' these days, I'm gonna do it again.

 

 
 "Ah, Lit'rature! There's nothin' like sittin' in our

 

 

 

 

 

 

1) Forgive me for mentioning this one, but i'm overly proud of this achievment at the moment.
   I have now overcome and quit 3 addictive substances in my liftetime:
    Caffeine (on two seperate occasions) - second time around, for health reasons.
   * For anybody reading this who thinks "WTF?" then i would seriously invite you to try
   giving up caffeine (cold turkey) -as I did- and then let me know what you think.
   *Caffeine is found in Tea, green Tea,Coffee,some of the soft drinks, ALL energy drinks
   and energy glucose sweets, Chocolate (SEE?) and some medications. I was on a very high
   level of caffeine consumption mainly due to my tea drinking.
   and Ive also quit Nicotone..and ive never gone back to the cigs. My withdrawal symptoms
   from Caffeine (this time round) were so horrendous, I am not planning to return to tea
   and coffee again-ever.(de-caff only from now on)

 

2) " Margaret" is a family name, and without even thinking about it, I know of at least 8
     family members (accross two generations) in my family who are called Margaret.

 

3)   My left ankle is shored up with Titanium, after I broke my heel bone in 3 places.
     My accident happened in a forest...

( I was with my family..)
     It was my son (aged 12 at the time) who ran off to raise the alarm, and came back
     with a hospital consultant in tow-no kidding.
     I had to be chair lifted out of the forest

 (also no kidding)

4)   My afore mentioned accident happened when we were on holiday, so My hospital stay, was
     in a Hospital far from home. When I was eventually discharged, I was sent home in an
     ambulance. I was in an amulance full of elderly woman all of whom had broken their
     ankles, falling from either ladders or stools (ME? I had to be in a flamin forest-

didnt I?)

 When the Ambulance Driver arrived to check we were all present, he burst out laughing!

  There were six of us women in the ambulance, and all SIX of us had broken our left ankle!  The Ambulance driver was seriously considering whether or not to phone
     The local rag's photographer, to run round and take a picture of us. But he didnt

 

5)   However I have had my picture on the front page of my own local newspaper, it was taken
     while I was taking part in a fund-raising event, A friend and me were dressed up as
     "Men in Black"

 

6)   I had a breast cancer scare a year ago. A lump was found in one of my breasts, I found
     out that it was indeed a tumour, but (thank-god) it was benign * I include this in my
     tag, as I know how scared I was during that time, and I am willing to talk to anyone
     if they need somebody to talk to

 (im not saying im an expert-far from it)

 but I would  be willing to listen. I know how it felt.

 

7)   Years ago, I was invited to take part in a televised debate,which was being broadcast Live, for Scottish Television,on a programme highlighting "woman's issues" The programme was presented by Kaye Adams

(She went on to anchor the networked tv programme

 "Loose Women")

At the 11th Hour, I chickened out of appearing, and Ive always regretted it.   

8)   I have no sense of smell (whatsover) and my tastebuds are severly impaired, I am also
     very deaf, and i'm further hampered by tinnitus. Thats 3 of my senses either gone or
     impaired, but as a friend once said to me, which i thought was quite witty
     "Not to worry Mags-'Sense of Humour?

 

 -STILL INTACT!
      <ahem>
