    had a good day today, mainly cos I met colleague (who is also friend) at 10 so was later in, got our next years travelcards and then had a long coffee and chat ;). didn't get back to the office til 12.30 so the afternoon went nice and quickly! :rotfl:

    Had dinner and also cooked a spag bol for tomorrow night, I will eat at the girls' brigade party i'm helping DH's mum with so there should be plenty left to make a lasagne too (all bulked out of course!). Was going to write the cards tonight but have only just sat down and DH is about to finish studying so won't have time now (might just email everyone :rotfl:
