    Well done Pigpen! That's fab! Does that mean we all get a day off tomorrow to celebrate? :beer:

    I will join you GTX in the HHK, I'm just casting off, and then I have to sew the cushion cover together. Hate the sewing together bit, but I got some crocheted flowers off Ebay (can't crochet) so I can sew them on it when they arrive and it will be all pretty!

    Made it home eventually... meetings went OK. Situation with emailer is definitely awkward - and I don't think it's just me being sensitive :o . I was good and went over to speak to him and the person next to him about something, just to make sure it was clear that I wasn't avoiding him, but there was no opportunity to discuss the issue. And anyone with any sense was keeping clear of me today, as we were all focussed on prep for this afternoon's meeting which went OK in the end.

    And everyone noticed my hair...:D which definitely still has a slight purple tint!

    I've been very organised this evening. Got home at 8ish, and as I forgot to put any pasta in my lunch, put a baked potato in for supper. While it was cooking I prepared breakfast and lunch for tomorrow, so it's all ready - I just need to work out what I'm wearing (something that goes with purple, obviously :rolleyes: )

    I'm off to find my list and update it, and then do my physio (I don't get a chance to do it at work, so I'm two sets of exercises behind so far today) and do a HHI or so watching iplayer.

    Dusty - I'm catching up with It isn't easy being green on iplayer, so if you can't find your NTL card, the whole series is on there. And thanks for the Natural Collection tip!

    Pigpen - congratulations! Have you been celebrating?!

    SarahShattered - how was the interview?

    Hugs and positive vibes to everyone else. I know I've missed some important stuff, but I have skimmed the thread to try to keep up!
