Flower - thats fantastic news about the tax money - no wonder you are bouncing around - you deserve it after all the hard work you have been putting into your business too - what a relief for you and hubby - brilliant!!
lil_me - I am pleased to read your back is a bit easier today - your rest last night must have helped - dont go overdoing it now!!
Supergirl - hugs for you babes - hope your quiet dayu knitting has helped - dont be too impatient - you probably did too much yesterday??? I can knit!!!! but dont be in a hurry for anything - it takes ages!!!!
Oddjob well done on getting the interviews - good luck for monday - will be sending positive vibes for you and crossing everything - but it sounds like you are doing ok or you wouldnt have got the second interview. Hope the children are on the mend.
frankieM - well done on getting your house to 'look fab' - I want that too! I loved what you said " I love how everything feels when I feel organised" - yes I know that feeling and it is good!!!

*lifts head listlessly* ........is it friday yet? I've had enough of this week ....another toughy at work.

:T Toots, that is such good news! May this Christmas be very merry, with many more to come!!!

Carol, sending you hugs and hope you are feeling a bit better.

Johanne, is there no-one who would be prepared to supervise your driving practice? I failed my test miserably first time round and was devastated....I really needed to be able to drive as my then boyfriend spent at least two weeks out of four in the USA or Singapore/HK and I was completely marooned without a car (lousy public transport). I was 32 when I took my test - I'd lived in London since Uni and had no need of a car until we moved out to the sticks - and I had 35 lessons in all. I was lucky enough to have friends who would supervise me when BF was abroad and I had bought an elderly Fiat Uno so from the September when I failed, until the following July when I passed, I drove EVERYWHERE at every opportunity and in every kind of weather. I then had some refresher lessons with my instructor to correct any bad habits I had picked up and almost kissed the examiner when he said I'd passed! I've been driving now for 20 years.

Poohbear - sounds like your friend is feeling guilty and has turned it all back on you. Not nice! Hope you are feeling better (I love lavender in my bath - sooo relaxing!). Pigpen and PinkFairy - nice line in curses :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I rather like this one - May she be afflicted with the itch and have no nails to scratch with!

Soappie - hope you are feeling a little better - 'flu is awful (only had the "real deal" twice and never want it again). Keep warm - hugs!!!

Greenbee - yes, there is definitely something going round - DH was really poorly a couple of weeks back and is only just right now and he's not one to go down with man-flu. I've had rotten sinusitis for what seems like an eternity (actually about 2 weeks). Still....we soldier on!

Went and looked at worksurfaces in my lunchbreak and have narrowed it down to four possibles :rolleyes: ! Will have to drag DH down there to have a look tomorrow.

Will also have to go into work tomorrow, because I need to catch up on all the stuff that didn't get done today because the BT IT Support Guy and I were STILL trying to kill the virus.:mad:

The good news is..............RIP Virus :T Yay.....all kudos to Ronnie the lovely Scots IT guy, Michael who worked on it last night and the BT crew in Dundee who emailed Ronnie a suggested plan which worked!!!!:j Sounds like I had most of Scotland working on the problem

So any FLYing is going to be tomorrow afternoon.

OK, I'm going to bed now..........hugs to anyone I've missed, and hugs to everyone anyway.

I did have but after about 7 calls tonight from a client who thinks I work all day and all night too, I switched it off.;)

How's you hun? How's them birthday girls?

pigpen

Oh.. I have a child rant... bloody things!!

One of them has ragged the cable off my phone charger.. now I'll NEVER be up in morning!! and it is driving me crazy it has been bleeping for 8 hours! How can it be 'nearly flat' for 8 hours??? damn thing!

Plus points for today...

1.. I have finished my personal statement for uni apps.. Triker I may need you to have a read through.. it is quite enlightening and I am not giving you permission to disclose any information.. I may have you sign the official secrets act before reading it lol.
2.. I have emailed 3 assignments to hubby to print off.. I decided the 4th one will have the relevant bits hand written and handed back in next Thursday.. that is my one job for tomorrow.. if I get nothing else done I WILL do that.. and you can all nag me... you nag... LIPIDS... ok..??
3.. I only have 4 weeks left of this term at college... where has the time gone??
4.. I discovered which item the postie returned last week (idiots) and can get it sent right back out.
5.. The opticians initially made up DD1's specs with the wrong frame (standing joke.. because the guy who does it REALLY like me *rolls eyes* and was too busy chatting he typed in the wrong code much to DD1's hilarity!) When I went to collect the correct ones this week I am so cheeky I said.. can I have those ones free then?.. they said to go in next week and they will give her them as a freebie spare pair! RESULT!! .. heehee.. they were most impressed with my cheek!

johanne

not psychic tonight.. but you didn't reply to my text.. ignorant moose!

I asked if your house had collapsed yet & if you had a kitchen.. and you ignored me the other day when I said if you want to bring some of your stinky skimpies to be washed I can do 4 loads in just over an hour.. depends on whether you can get it dry though.. but the offer is there and cheaper than the laundrette

I am k-nackard and offski to my nesty-noo in a mo... I have done no wahsing all week so my house is disappearing!

The pinks are nigh on hysterical about their party on Sunday.. Moom thinks it is not her birthday until Sunday because that is when her party is.. Peaches is a loon.. I got a fab pic of her earlier trying to sneak up and steal my food!

And.. would you believe.. a grandma from school told me I look like a student today!! ROFL.. I don't even have my tongue or my nose pierced or my hair an un-natural colour.. how cheeky was that?!!
