    Right, not been in all day almost after course, shopping, dropping freecycle stuff etc etc so am just about to read through, just got the chance to sit down (then must do tea for the boys)

    Cards from Justamum have arrived, wow isn't IOM postage cheaper than here!!! Ashia and JayJay your cards came too, a big thank you from my 2 aswell, but you shouldn't have done that really.

    Off to read, back with a catch up post in a mo after I have put dinner on xxxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Me too, I have it on the cupboard in the office/spare room, it does help get things back into perspective eh, although sometimes I have been known to swear at it if it catches my eye at the wrong time... it's a bit too right IYKWIM and you don't want it to be...;)

    Snap it's on a little card in the kitchen here :)

    Well I'm trying to find some floor in my DD's bedroom at the moment - I'm sure it was only about 2 or 3 weeks ago when I spent all day Sunday gutting it but it's even worse now!:mad: It's the kids' Christmas fair on Friday so I'm sorting out a few things to there as I go along!

    I need petrol in my car so I'll have to get it tomorrow although it's given out really bad weather tomorrow. I hope DD's school doesn't get shut as she's got a big rehearsal at the Victoria Hall tomorrow ready for her concert tomorrow night. I don't know what'll happen if they end up shutting the school. Mind you, I don't think they will, the HT is pretty nonchalant about snow - don't mind if they close my school though!

    Right I need to go and do some more - anyone fancy joining me 6.30 - 7?

    Hello all

    Hope to catch up properly later. Shattered tonight as I got up at 5.45am and left the house at 6.15! Busy day though I finished early afternoon which was nice and went to visit a friend who is waiting for her overdue baby to be born! Also picked up a parcel (15 minute wait - 2 very slow members of staff on and a queue out of the door!) from the sorting office. Picked up a couple of nice wrap/scarves on the east end market I passed after my meeting today so the Xmas list is filling up!

    Since getting in about an hour ago I have emailed the landlord to chase loo repair, reported a missed bin collection to the council (only a year to get a wheelie bin, now they don't seem to be able to collect it...I wonder why we pay £1.5k a year in council tax...), have also washed up. Dinner's on then I think we might crack open a bottle of wine and I'll b in bed early. Am off in the morning as working tomorrow eve so hoping to fly in the kitchen and bathroom, rest can be done friday when I ahve a whole day off :D

    Debating doing the M&S sale tomorrow but can't decide whether to try the little one in our town or risk the big one at London Colney.
