    Morning all

    I'm very happily sitting here in my PJs, very relieved not to have to travel today (working from home). I've already flown a bit and as I'm sad i'll post what I did then cross it off :rotfl: target driven, moi?! :D

    julie - how about fishfingers (or similar), waffles and beans? We have that often when we don't have much time and it's quick, easy and comforting!!

    I do need to do some work work today but the almost 3 hours saved on not travelling help and I basically mean to do emails and stuff like that. I'm going away to nottingham tomorrow after work for a conference wed and I want to save my energy for that...

  • Well done to pigpen for the coathooks – excitement fully justified
    Nicki congratulations on TMA score :j:j and hope your cold clears - you need that lunch treat.

    Lady-Liberty little bits and very carefully (or pigpen will be after you)

    I’m sorry but how does valuing something the council knew it had (and what it was) by comparing it with another version which sold earlier count as AR ‘discovering’ an unknown treasure.:confused:

    Think an early coffee is needed – might wander round house with it and make a plan
    Well done to the xmas present spreadsheeters - sounds really complicated (think I will stick to paper and pen)

  • Oh oh, I've done it again! I'm off to the pound to [STRIKE]collect[/STRIKE] rescue three puppies form being PTS. Two of them will probably be moved on, but 1 will stay as a foster for a while until someone offers to adopt. I only emailed the coordinator last night and had a phone call ten minutes ago. I've also had an email from another rescue who needs help. Watch this space!:o
