    Not caught up on thread yet

    Do you think it would be strange to drive to Wales today, if you had to be back on Wednesday..... as a holiday trip? (from East Sussex)
    This is what my ex-hubby and ex-MIL have done with my son, I find out by answer phone, as I wake up this morning. And with all the ICY roads! By the time they get there, they'll have to turn round and come back!!

    My mum is doing the ironing :D
    My dad is clearing out the garage, doing a tip run & the shopping, then putting up two curtain poles and a whole lot of coat hooks in the utility room :D

    ... and I'm hiding up here doing admin for work... trying to find out why one of my team is still reporting in to someone else (she's worried she'll be paid wrongly this month, and as she's getting a pay cut, doesn't want the hassle)... booking bereavement leave for grandad's funeral on Friday and my summer holiday for the fortnight before my little brother's wedding... And I've just realised I have 16.5 days leave to use up before the end of May. When am I going to fit it in???

    I really must get on with decluttering my desk... typing isn't at all comfortable!
