    Toots... let me know if I can help out with the boiler service... you know what I mean!

    To all those with colds... my reflexologist (so clearly this ISN'T medical advice!) seems to have cured mine. She prodded my toes (obviously ;) ) and told me to drink plenty of hot drinks and avoid dairy. I've never had such a short cold in my life! My hot drinks were yogi teas, (cold season, throat comfort and breathe easy, all warming mixtures according to ayurvedic medicine). It's worth a try...

    I've done my CMA :D:j:j:j:j:j:jSubmitted, double checked and I'm done - it wasn't due in until the 18th!!! Means I can get ontop of the house tomorrow and see family on Thursday without feeling guilty :D

    But right now I'm going to do my Christmas cards....strange time to do them I know, but I'm printing address labels anyway so I might as well do it now, then I can do the teachers ones for tomorrow as well ;)
