    Bother just realised that DS3 has to dress up as a character on Friday for World book day I dread to think what he is going to come up with.

    Ironing taking a very long time as I keep coming and checking my logs on here. Missed most of WDYTYA so will have to try hard to find the card for catchup tomorrow.

    It's on again tomorrow on BBC2 at 7pm.

    I'm feeling very tired and miserable tonight. My neck and head is aching again. Sorry to moan, I know a lot of people have worse problems than me, but I'm feeling really low.

    Hugs to everyone else, especially Fedup, what a horrible few weeks you are having.

    Mudbath, any luck on finding storage for your caravan? If you use a CaSSOA site you should be able to get cheaper insurance.

    Quite a lot of catching up to do tomorrow... I have a reflexology appointment at 12.45, then one of the governors is coming over to go through the gap analysis spreadsheet (it would help if she understood it, but unfortunately she doesn't appear to!), so I need to update it based on the last 3 sets of data I've been given. In fact... I need to check what time she's turning up. I'll have to make sure downstairs is clear by then, and take the laptop down. I'm not letting her upstairs!

    ETA - Quillion (and anyone else who is interested!) - haven't dealt with the email issue today. Sender has received one very business-like work email from me today (from a generic mail box... I have 7 email accounts at work... not my own) when he was copied in on something he needed to know about. There have been a few dramas in the office while I've been working from home, so I've been way too busy to deal with anything else, and I'm on leave tomorrow. I guess I'll have to deal with it on Wednesday if he's in the same office as me then...

    Hi everyone! I really need to stick with this for the next few weeks - we're on holiday over Easter and I always like to leave the place tidy - usually it's a rush in the week before we go, this time I'm intending that it won't be like that! We also have friends here for dinner in a fortnight and again - usually I end up dreading it due to the amount of work to get the place decent in the run-up, but not this time!
