Morning all

Bloomin' cold out there this morning. It'll be another careful and slow drive to work in a bit.

Thanks for the confirmation on the etiquette - nice to know I did it right!

Vanilla - so pleased things are going well with the baby..

I shall get off lightly tonight. The kitchen is pretty much up together. I only really have to do the cupboard under the sink. I might, just might, Dyson my bedroom instead.

Have a good day ladies - I'll try and catch up when I get home tonight...

Morning, thanks for the weather website Reya. I think i may drive to school, i would usually walk her to school if i'm not going to uni afterwards as its only 20 mins, but the website says its -5 out there:eek: Car it is then:o

Congratulations vanilla, thats great news.
Good luck to your OH Johanne, hope he gets it.

On a mission again today, was so proud of myself as i got loads done and it made a huge difference. TD is on already. My sciatica is playing up though so need to be a wee bit careful.

Morning

I think I slept ok, but woke up at 5.36am. Laid there trying to go back to sleep but ended up with a headache and now I'm tired:rolleyes: Why does that always happen on the days I don't have to go to work

Flylady_Flower - hope your hubby get's something sorted soon

Thanks Tag, he arrived safetly at 6.45am - will speak to him tonight before he leaves at 5pm and hope it is a good journey home too. They are checking about a house to rent for the three of them today I think.

I hate it when that happens in the morning - makes me really ratty and it's a weird sort of headache too isn't it - hope it clears up soon, can you get back to bed anytime today?
I'm tired at the moment - went back to bed to do some work as no point trying to sleep when I had to get back up again in just over an hour for DS, and promptly fell asleep sitting up with my laptop on my lap (lucky it never fell off and broke!)

Loopy, hope you were able to get back to sleep - if not, will you get a chance later today? Hope she settles into a routine for you soon...

Just a quick post as on school run shortly - DH had meeting yesterday and looks like he will retain his job albeit in a different form. Upside is he'll maybe earn the same or possibly a little more, downside is he'll be out longer each day and we'll need to buy me a car. (Do car sales places take choccie buttons?).

Now waiting on the letter to set it all out and gutting our finances to see how it all will fit together.

Not sure how I/we feel really - but we are very very grateful for the support you have all shown me - it helped very much over a very emotional day. Thanks.
