Toots.. the exam was WAAAAY easier thn I thought it would be.. my paper is a mess because I kept flipping back to add bits I had forgotten and thought might be relevant.. We SHOULD get the results next Wednesday but we went out on the razz so I don't really care lol.. We only need 40% to pass and if I didn't get that then I think I may be totally stooooopid!

Good luck, hope it went well, which I'm sure it did...

Boddy, what on earth!!!! still, at least you've got your cards done eh! Have a lovely day in newcastle...

Right, off to sort that list...

Morning All

I've been awake since about 4.15 as well boddy.

Mudbath - thinking of you - look forward to hearing from you sonn.

DS is writing his Chrtistmas cards - so far he's written 2 - the first time he put his name at the top of the card so I had to get him to write 'To ?' on the left had side of the card. On the second one he's written the boy's name right at the bottom so there's nowhere to put his name!:rolleyes:

Toots - hope you're feeling better today.

Michelle - sounds nasty, probably best idea to get them to the docs.

Staff meeting tonight so I won't be in until after 6 and then hopefully I might get some stuff done! Planning on doing some ironing while I watch the Bill so can someone remind me of that tonight. Right I'm going to do a quick HHI while most of you are still snoring!

Hugs to all
