    Hope you're having a fab time Fay! :beer:

    Just popping in to say IDID IT!!!!

    :beer::j:rotfl:

    Am now absolutely full of cold, completely worn out, and had to spend the whole day at w*rk :rolleyes:

    But still. I cannot tell you how gorgeous it felt to enjoy the first cup of tea for SIX YEARS without feeling I was meant to be doing something else :j:j:j

    Mr Daffs bought me a meringue ghost from the bakery to celebrate :rotfl:

    resting now, and managed to skive tomorrow morning off work for a lie in :D:D

    Then the rest of life powers into action - in no particular order....

    - looking for a new job :eek:
    - tidying house :p
    - trapeze lessons :rotfl:
    - jive dancing :j
    - slimming world :A
    - budgeting :money:

    and general all round stripey cheeriness :T:j

    So big thanks for letting me pop into your gorgeous sparkly diary and moan every now and again - I'm sure it won't stop here...

    ... and if I can do it, you can too, and it feels GREAT when it's over :beer:

    :smileyhea:smileyhea
