    lil_me - Well done on a fantastic job. You're too modest about 'just organising and doing stuff' because if that doesn't happen, nothing else does!

    tootifrutti - don't you dare disappear! I always enjoy reading your posts.

    sarahshattered - hope you feel lots better very soon. I like hot lemon and honey when I have a cold.

    valli -where are you today???

    :hello:to everyone else! I forgot to make notes while I was reading though, and can't remember what I was supposed to say.

    I'm still washing and tumbling, and have almost, very nearly, reached the bottom of the washing bag! Just got to put the duvet cover back on. I have done a bit of planning, but still haven't finished sorting resources for tomorrow, so will have to do that after dinner.

    September accounts finished - how on earth did I manage to spend that much money :eek:? Mind you, I included £400 that went to my savings account as expenditure, so that skews the figures slightly. OH's birthday as well, and I went mad and bought him a satnav that he'd been coveting for ages.

    Must go cook dinner. Tuna and pasta bake tonight.
