  • Hello everybody

    Birthday greetings and hugs to all who need/are eligible/or just fancy a hug!

    So I was the only one watching the partial solar eclipse then this morning? I brought my NASA eclipse glasses into work (a freebie from the last eclipse I went to) and fortunately had a FAB view from my office of the sun and partial. Spread the word I had glasses and boy was I Miss Popular! Made me feel quite sad that we haven't gone to China to see it - BUT human rights and all that - if they want my tourist money they can work for it!! And I won't be watching any of the Olympics either. So, it has fired me up to start planning the trip to India for the one next year (end of July)!! I'm hitting the travel agents this weekend. :D

    In the office on my own as everyone is on holiday - as you can see I am very busy :rotfl: Well, not often I get a chance for a bit of R&R at work :D

    Listed more stuff on e-bay last night - hoping to make another £50 over the next month - into the ISA it goes!!

    Right I'm off to look at flights!:j
    But I'm going to say this once, and once only, Gene. Stay out of Camberwick Green :D

    Afternoon everyone.

    Hit the Julian Graves sale earlier to stock up on a few bits. It's invoice day for my side jobs so emailled all of those out.

    Waiting to hear about a meeting for a new job, which sounds very exciting, so keeping everything crossed for that.

    Doing very well on not using petrol. I tend to drive 10mph slower now to burn less and am managing to make a tank last between 10-14 days.

    Got a busy weekend ahead of me. Working tomorrow then got a wedding reception in the evening and there's a free festival in town which I'm hoping to go to on Sunday.

    Hope everyone's ok
