    I'm back, was alright after a slightly huffy start!

    Finally managed to upload all my photos onto Facebook today, funny seeing the holiday all laid out like that (including the ones taken under the influence of Polish vodka, oh dearie me... :o)......

    Ah well, back to work. Not as bad as I was expecting, nice to see everyone and actually have a bit of work to do - it is coming up to 'busy' time here. Still not enough to keep me occupied/ challenged though, can already feel the boredom edging in!

    Need to get back on track with my 'finding new things to do' outside of work as well.... nagging squad ready?

    Ready and waiting! I know you were dreading this morning, glad to find its bearable -but boredom is soul destroying, it can make you feel really apathetic, and that gets into a vicious circle - be careful! Do toning exercises or something! Good luck, see you later.

    Thanks... I feel very much in danger of falling into that trap, I certainly was before I went away, my brain seems to switch off after a certain point and go for the easiest option of doing nothing.. and I do have a brain in there somewhere, honest, it just needs used before it gives up completely!

    Hmm, obviously with being away I haven't been doing any extra money raising this month - two weeks till payday so going to see if I can manage to somehow raise the equivalent of my debt min payment for the month (£165) by then. So far, I've checked Quidco and they paid me £1.28 on the 1st August :rotfl:

    Decided to do something about the languages thing, currently working through the Spanish stuff on the BBC Languages page as a refresher - finding I can remember what words mean but my grammar is a bit rusty. Found some online courses on the BT Adult Learning site as well earlier, so I might move onto them next and then figure out what level I'm at to go to some real life classes.

    Ooh and Bob, Bubbles, I couldn't find you any Romans but I did bring back these two fine chaps for you - take your pick! :rotfl:
