    Up, breakfasted and windows open... that's about it so far. Today's list is pretty ... long... although the house is in a fairly reasonable state so it shouldn't take long to get through the easy bits and start concentrating on the important stuff!

    Diva - I'm about to light a candle for you & Tristan.

    Ooh - I just got a call from our local Toni & Guy and one of the trainees has got her test night for my haircut on 24th February, so I'm going to get my hair cut for free! She did a really good job last time, so hope nerves don't get the better of her on the night.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
