    Hello - anyone remember me?! :o Been MIA for a bit - lots of reasons, none of them god ones, will explain a bit on my thread, if I can ever find it again!

    Fay - Fab news that they've seen sense. So SO pleased for you. :T As the rest have said you can now just concentrate on enjoying your holidays. Try to exercise a bit of restraint in Tesco's eh?! Remember the lovely stripey shop and as was said before what you can buy to stock that out of what you'l splurge if you get yourself go to much. On the other hand, a minor splurge every now and again doesn't do anyone any harm, just make sure the damage limitation switch in the head is activated eh?!

    Right - off to try to catch up elsewhere (and try to find my thread - might need caving equipment it's slipped down so far!) Big (((((((((())))))))))'s and a coupld of XX's for good measure.

    Home sweet broadband :)

    Hugs to you all will attempt to sleep and get up early for a nice lovely new shiney day at work

    Already hauled out the stripey's.

    Waves to you all from a chilly, misty, rainy Orkney - I left summer in the lakes it would seem.

    24 hours ago I was swimming in Lake Windermere - now I have two fleeces on and just taken off my downie jacket.

    Its all about diversity eh??

    Hugs to you all, thanks for the lovely posts - you guys have so kept me going :)

    Morning chaps
    NO bosses here - all away and back tomorrow - oh well - still myself until tomorrow - I will spend the day sorting myself out, inputing some easy data and thinking of a way forward for this month.

    Waves to all

    Odd knee length socks on - just in case. Weird to be in a semi-empty house (2 lodgers no kids) 5 weeks til they return - how much of their stuff can I sort out in that time???????? Evil laugh.

    Hugs :)

    Wow .... I'm glad you've got a bit of time for yourself academically. And five weeks to upend the house is great! Hope they're all having fun, and I hope you're looking after yourself.

    Seriously need to sort out bags. Just tipped DS bag contents into the washing machine.

    Whole hall is cluttered up with muddy messy stuff :)

    Hey ho - 3 bikes out the car and needing reassembled!
