I think some people are in their own little bubble. I live on a fairly long road, with plenty of parking along it. You'd be amazed at the number of people who park directly across my driveway :rolleyes: They're then very offended when I ask them to move 10m to free it. One woman even burst into tears :rolleyes: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Ahhh - parking wars! DON'T get me started on THAT subject....

Boddy - giving you all hugs and wishing you all strength for tomorrow... and I'm sure it'll be a wonderful wake. (That's not meant to sound odd or anything - it's just I'm sure it will be with you there to help)

As you can tell, I've been catching up on the thread....

I have been a busy bee since I got in from work (left slightly early truth be known - I was too hot in the office!). The weather is absolutely fantastic for drying so since I got in at 4pm I have:

• Put three loads of washing on the line - most of it is now dry thanks to the warm wind
• Gone through three thick documents and made comments for a meeting tomorrow
• Cleaned the kitchen and bathroom
• Concocted a chicken casserole from random things in the freezer

I ain't done too bad I think.

Tomorrow, I have a meeting in town so can actually lie in which will be really nice.

Everyone's very quiet tonight.

Oh look, nearly 20,000 thanks - 20% of what pigpen had heh heh

Evening
The half hour between 4.30 and 5 was very busy got loads done, all of level 2 and some of level 3 AND cleaned some jewellery too!
Was feeling very virtuous and proud of myself until DH came home poorly sick with a tummy bug that's going round. AARGH!
He is now banished to bed and I have been round with the dettol on anything that he may have infected 'cos I don't want all the gingerpeople catching it!
Got an exciting day tomorrow - boss is taking some of us out for a mystery surprise lunch somewhere posh. Am being picked up mid morning and back late afternoon - so sounds like fun! (I will kill DH if I catch his dreaded lurgy in the night!)
Rest of house looking reasonable so am off to be a vegetable and lie on sofa with remains of last night's chocolate and thoughts of Rupert!
Hugs to Boddy - will be thinking of you tomorrow.
