    valli - a quarter of the bag would be fine. I'd stick some vinegar in the fabric softener bit too if I were you...

    our little tree is up and looks lovely, made good progress with my old list, which I won't bother copying over, but most things done. Watched the end of little dorrit - had to rewind it a couple of times to work it out so whoever it was getting confused PM me cos i worked it out in the end...

    I have my last week at work :j very glad about that! Clearing out the cupboards at work tomorrow (full on flying!), they really need doing so I'll be glad to get them done...then celebratory lunch with colleagues. Have DH's work meal on thurs and my office one on Fri!! :beer:

    For now I'm pretty much ready for bed (after half a bottle of wine) and look forward to attacking the list when I get in tomorrow.

    ETA: pink i think you know what we all think....

    I've had sick notes for every week and the doc doesn't just give them for no reason. I think I'll be staying home again! :confused: I'm going to be as popular as sour milk, but I ache such a lot from coughing, can't be delivering training sessions without coughing and spluttering, and don't feel strong enough to be wandering around doing observations - apart form the high risk of spreading germs in care home
    I think that answers your question:eek:
  • are you moving before Christmas emily??
    Peace will be mine

    If you get the chance read the end of the book sometime.
    I don't mind adapters losing characters and extra story lines from Dickens, but I see no reason to change part of his main story line for no obvious reason
