5 things I like about text messages

1. You don't need to have a good reason to text someone
2. You can contact someone without having a long conversation
3. They're portable (provided you remember to charge your battery!)
4. You can stay in touch with people who don't feel like having phone coversations (eg overdue pregnant friends.... I know I didn't answer the phone for days at a time when I was overdue!)
5. You can get away with terrible spelling

Things I'm grateful for: Baked Beans

They meant that our manic friend / outing filled day yesterday didn't end in disaster. Thankyou Mr Heinz!

Nice!

Three good things that happened today...

* The shoe fixer upper man managed to fix my remote key for the car and didn't charge me!
* I discovered laundry bleach.... wow where has that stuff been all my life? My grotty washers now look slightly less grotty, which believe me, is something to be very glad about.
* I discovered I can touch my toes without bending my legs for the first time since I was a teenager. Time will tell how useful that skill turns out to be but I think I'm pretty safe to say I have a career in international gymnastics ahead of me.
