    evening all

    shattered after first day back at work - managed to clear the email backlog though. commuting always feels ten times worse after the holiday and the dlr trains are still up the creek it seems!

    haven't managed to read the whole thread but nicki - nice one, big relief i'm sure! triker - poor you, what a nightmare. always makes you feel violated anything like that.

    well i didn't check the list and did the kitchen as much as i could be bothered, worktops, cooker top, swept floor, did cupboard fronts etc so that will do for now....

    Nicki.. great news about the placement and the childcare.. must be one less thing to think about.. :D.. Hope you enjoy it!

    I better had - they're pretty flexible as well, and if I'd been working this week I could have gone out on a class trip already :rotfl::rotfl: I think they go swimming at some point in the week:eek: Something I won't be joining in! :rotfl::rotfl: DD is gutted though that I'm not allowed to teach her, its actually on a list of requirements/check list that the school has. Will have to rethink what I was going to wear though, get to go shopping on Saturday for some new clothing :D Which reminds me...

    Can anyone tell me what clothes shops which do plus sizes (or at least size 18s) accept High Street vouchers? I know Peacocks do, but not sure about where else :confused: Thanks ladies...

    dishes time... :wave:

    pigpen - what did you do about your new course? No2 on the extras doesnt apply to me a) no medicine cabinet b) not allowed 'cures' c) all medicines controlled by hospital! And here was I getting all excited about something new to do!!!!

    Hope this helps Nicki, is a full list of places you can redeem them. Not sure who does plus size clothes though:o

    Aww thanks I'm ok now, fish and chips and half a box of chocs have made me feel a bit better. Naughty but nice.

    More fed up about the complete inconvenience, never mind.

    We pushed my sad little car back round our street, tried to push the bent door back a bit but it wasn't having it. Anyone can get in and gawd help it if it rains......it's totally wrecked I don't know why the insurance company want me to have it towed to a garage to be told its wrecked!!!

    Anyway tomorrow is another day and I appreciate everyones best wishes and Pigpen popping round to laugh at my pegs.

    Just thought OH is going to get the tax disc out of it.:eek:
