    Kaz - Sorry to hear that *hugs*

    I've had to stop my NVQ work for a bit. My hands are soooo cold its silly...so I'm off to do some reading while I have a hot drink. Think I'll go on the OU website and try to catch up with some work on there - at least its mainly reading so I don't need to use the mouse ;)

    Well I did a 15 in the kitchen and managed to get the dishwasher unloaded and partly loaded and I did all the washing up. Just making myself a coffee then I'm off to do a 15 in the lounge. Then I'm going to sit down and play Fable II for a bit because in the evenings Mr G wants to play it. When the children get home it'll be time for putting decorations up :D

    Oooh I read the book "Paying It Forward" from the library and yes that was sad too. But it did get me thinking especially as I had only just read something concerning PIF's on my cross stitch groups.

    Since my last post I have....done nothing!! Oh wait I had a cup of tea and some toast. But I am still in my pj's and I have just realised I shut the dog upstairs in our bedroom with the two cats earlier, and he is still there after about 4 hours..eeps!!

    Off to let him out and have a shower for definate this time.
