Morning everyone,

How are we all doing today?

it's looking miserable and cloudy today, which to be honest I don't mind too much. I usually moan if we don't get a long hot summer (I moan a lot :D ) but this year the heat bothers me so I'm quite glad of the cool days.

I'm working later today for the first time this week, decent musicians so hopefully it will be a quick in and out of the studio. I also need to go shopping for a nice maternity dress which I can wear for a couple of parties I have coming up. One is a pretty glitzy thing and the other is a rock n roll bbq for Amy's 21st birthday. I'm struggling a bit to find nice things which don't look like a sack to be honest. I've got melon boobs and most things either make me look like a matron or a b movie !!!!!! queen.

    Hope you all have a good day, better go now or we'll be late for school.

    Bye Dawn xx

    P.S. Toto I looked like the wreck of the titanic when I was pregnant so you will look fab whatever you go for. Good luck.

    Morning all.

    It's quite overcast here but not actually raining (yet). Hope everyone has a productive day.

    Should find out today if our buyers are going to agree our final price or pull out altogether. Fingers crossed they don't.

    hi - dull but dry here, I don't like the sun (well, heat) very much so I'm fine with it being like this.

    Off to work in a few minutes, hopefully before the gas men started drilling for the day. Only another 12 weeks to go of a barricaded road, vans, diggers and men lounging around with a fag in their mouth with the word 'GAS' emblazoned on their hi-viz jackets......:rolleyes: :eek:

    Morning everyone! Overcast here and might rain any second!

    Had to dodge more strikers this morning, so at some point we'll hear 'what do we want...fair pay...when do it want it...'!etc etc Well done them if they get us a better deal, but unfortunately I don't think they will.

    Have a good day!

    Anyway, enough politics! Pixie - when is the Next sale?! I want to get some shoes and a belt, and probably a load of other things! But if I know when to get online I can hopefully snaffle some bargains!

    Morning all. Hope you find an outfit Toto. How's the wrist btw?
    Have my 2nd tattoo sitting at 1.30 today which I'm looking forward to, then tonight I've got to sort out my OU TMA and trim down 600 odd words _pale_.
    How's everyone today?

    morning....just realised I only have 4 working days left at my current job (argh!!) so need to get my head down and get on with finishing up (ie not so much mse!)

    I finally got my discount card for the supermarket job in time for the discount going up to 15% until the end of July - woo hoo! Must remember restraint, must remember restraint.

    So tired. Working from 9 am - 10.30pm today and only had 4 hours sleep....its going to be a slog.
