    Right that's it, having a total break from the tax return. Going to have lunch and go speak to peeps in the real world! ie my sis

    Will get on with the return later, reckon I have done the thick end of it but struggling to get my head round some figures and want to make sure I get it right. Trying to compare the boxes to last years!

    Carol - Oh but I do count every single piece of paper, pen in the wrong place, book put away!!! Sadly I don't need to unload or load the dishwasher as i'm guessing I could easily do 60 things just doing that:rotfl: .

    Penelope penguin - you're doing lots so I can't use my smilie with a sharp stick...slow down please! :D

    15 minute until my next 60 things! xx

Lumbar puncture and bloods back and are fine Tabitha has a scan booked for this afternoon so depending on what that comes back as she should be home tomorrow.. she has stopped fitting..

    Fantasic news so far Pigpen - i'll send good scan result vibes this afternoon. That's exactly what happened with my DD - it was all down to the birth she had which made her jump when she slept and she ended up being fine. Gave us a good grounding in the fact that you never stop worrying about your littlies! xx

    I haven't done the kitchen yet, but am going to have a HHC at 1.15.

    Just got back from the shops - I had to buy myself a new chopper thingy. I had a Moulinex one which I'd had since before I was married (September 1994!) and it stopped working last week. I can't really do without it as I need to be able to chop nuts finely and make breadcrumbs - I got a big blister on my thumb last week when I had to finish making the breadcrumbs by grating them! I had to buy a new toaster at the weekend too, so already it's been a bit expensive this month - especially as I had to order my DD2's birthday present this morning from the internet (a 'house with horses' which she's wanted for about a year!)

    Lunch eaten, tea drunk - off to the kitchen now!
