    embb - I think whoever has your get up and go has mine as well. I'm not bothered either...

    Still sitting here with a coffee, as it's cold, and I'm putting off finishing off my school planning, which I have to email to the Head of Faculty today without fail. I did most of it yesterday, but I still have some resources to find, and then I have to type it all up on Excel, which I hate with a passion. I always do my planning from top of the page to the bottom, and then entering it from left to right on Excel makes me dizzy...I also hate the fact that Excel won't fit on the page, so I have to keep scrolling, and then when I scroll up for the next line, I can't read the headers. Can you tell I'm in a ratty mood???

    DS1's computer was taken away by our techie friend yesterday, and is back on Monday, and I'm wondering just how much it is going to cost. I think it would have been cheaper to buy a ready built one...

    Okay, five more minutes and then I'm going to do the cloakroom and the bathroom.

    Deniseflower - very interested in your home staging. Do you do online consultations?:D
