    Diva take it easy.

    Right soon time for the school run, thank goodness they finish tomorrow.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Afternoon all - I'm back from the gym and feeling really tired - had a good workout at salsa aerobics, although the turning around constantly during the routine left me feeling a bit dizzy. Elderly neighbour has just knocked on my door for a chat, so I'll be going over there in a minute before heading off to my haircut at 5pm.

    Called OH to ask if he'd looked at the wallpaper, and he said that cos their shop is closing today, that the computer and everything have been demolished and he hasn't had a chance! I popped into laura ashley on my way home from the gym, but stupidly didn't have the names of the papers with me to check if I liked them - have now been back onto their website, written down the names of quite a few I like, and will try to get OH to come along to the shop during his lunchbreak tomorrow if he has one. It may be a case of having to order them online though cos I couldn't find the seagulls one in the shop and CBA to ask an assistant.

    Right, off to neighbours now and probably won't be online again tonight cos we're off to asda after dinner to look at the bedlinen.

    Happy flying everyone!
