    Cheers, valli - i've had too many cups of tea this morning already so a virtual one is perfect!

    I will be up for a HHC 12-12.30 if anyone cares to join me. Will have done 3.5 hours work then...half a day. :)

    Just had a nightmare as have found out that an advert for volunteers for my project went in the paper on monday, unbeknown to us...went in last Oct, they obviously had space so put it in again. Problem is we don't need volunteers at the moment! Grrr, lots of admin to do now! Colleague is emailing them to say don't do it again!

  • Weather update - we have had rain all morning, very dark and miserable but if the temperature was a bit lower and it was falling as snow then it would be piling up like some of you have - so I will live with rain.

    Off to find something to do.

    Afternoon all

    No washing today. They sun has been out and the snow is melting (thank you thank you thank you).

    Luckily I remembered to put the recycling bin out last night because they still came early this morning.

    I've polished and dusted the computer desk and all round the living room and vacuumed right through downstairs and did the stairs too.

    Then I watched Corrie and WDYTYA.

    dinner cooking now so I'm going to catch up on here while it's doing.

    Welcome to Jacob :)
