Morning All

Been up for a few hours already as usual - kids are fighting already so not sure how much I'll manage to get done but I need to do loads!

pigpen - hugs - if there's anything I can do to help let me know.

mo477 - hugs - it must be hard for you at this time of year.

How many HHCs are we doing today? About a thousand and I might be sorted!

Morning all,

Just popping in to say hi. I'm off to the garage in a minute to take my car in (fingers crossed the bill isn't too high), and plan to do some food shopping on the way home. Had better get dressed now.

Will pop in later to update my list, and maybe do some HHCs.

For those of you off on hols or to stay with rellies:

mumoffour - good news, the doctors at the John Radcliffe hospital declared ketchup a vegetable some time ago! See Bandolier's guide to healthy living below. http://www.medicine.ox.ac.uk/bandolier/booth/hliving/10steps.html I hope this is an appropriate Christmas gift for all you stressed out mums!

Pigpen - hope things get sorted out soon. As lil_me suggests, hassle the insurance company and tell them that the food allowance is all very well, but you need to pay for it before you can eat it. And as for those cleaners... can't you get them to do the rest of the house too I'm sure you'll find that ALL the windows have got smoke on the insides if you try hard enough

TAG - welcome back! We missed you (I was after a bit of ironing expertise last night :rotfl: )

Well, so much for getting up early this morning and packing... woke up at 6, as normal, and was too exhausted to drag myself out of bed until after 8, even though I'd left my laptop on, so could hear all the emails hitting my inbox from about 6.30 onwards - however, I've just realised that the one person in my team who is on leave hasn't put his out of office on :mad: Of the rest of the, only two appear to be in the office so far, and its not the ones in Leeds...

... right... need to find my list of what to do, and think about my list of what to pack...

Morning all

pigpen - I hope you get your delivery sorted out.

chocoholic - hello you :wave: how are you? Long time no speak

johanne - I've missed something...sorry to hear that your engagement is off. Like everyone else has said, maybe this is a step forward for WIL. You have Sarah, so will always be part of her life now. (((hugs)))

summermoon - what lovely pics of woofy dog and DS

mumof477 - hopefully today will be a better day xx

toots - thanks for bringing my attendance to pigpen's notice what is the list of names all about? I thought it was christmas cards or something that involved loads of work hee hee

I need to bash on with my present wrapping. Did most of it last night, just need to finish off. Then start the delivering Oh and I have 3 assessments to complete for mid January. I really need to make a start on them....

Can I join in?

I usually avoid this thread as it just makes me feel guilty, but I had a successful weekend clearing out my study & am feeling all enthusiastic.

Hugs Hester

Big hello and Welcome Hester.
