Glad your feeling better SM. I have been to the docs and they have given me some antibiotics to help build up my immune system and get rid of sinusitus. No work today as i didn't think it made sense to go to work with the very things that keep making me ill!!
Shopaholic, good luck with the driving test. I really hope you pass this time as i know how emotional and tense they are, i had to go through three! Fingers crossed for you.
Evidently everyone knows about my regular hunt for wicked tickets! Thanks for the link re theatre tickets Lilian, i will have a look. I might have to convince my friend to go see somert else instead, something thats a bit cheaper!
Well am feeling a bit better but slighly depressed as no work today means i won't get paid as i have now used up my five sick days for the academic year, unless my bosses are kind enough to let me have more!! However i have just had a phone call from a potential client wanting to book in two full body massages for next week, so that will more than make up for any money lost!
Also going to cancel night out tomorrow as i am not well and can't drink as im on the anitibiotics, so at least it will be cheap!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j
