    soappie - hope you feel better soon... you're supposed to be playing nursemaid to your wounded pooch, not languishing on your own sickbed ;)

    rach - as the information is freely available all over the internet, it's not exactly classified information. I went to Cambridge, did two years of English, two of Modern & Medieval languages, and came out with a 2:2 and 9 half blues for rifle shooting (guess which I spent most time on :p ). BTW, if you're thinking about career development, get yourself onto linked in and start putting together your network. It's very useful...

    FBB - I'm not surprised you don't get much done from the lists... your dailies look as if they'd take until lunch time at the earliest! Good luck!

    Given how little effort it would take for me to get to level three on both days, I think I might actually get off my backside and get the hoover out in a minute. First I have to do my exercises... then hoover... then make tomorrow's lunch etc... then more exercises... then bed!

    juliejim - please tell polkadot that my thoughts and prayers are with her and DH

    AnW - thanks for the news about Toots; and what a lovely speech Miss A has written

    I have cleaned the fridge as there's nothing much in there at the moment so it was pretty quick and easy to do.

    I've also done quite a bit of paperwork so am not feeling so guilty about being off work today.

    My dad phoned and has a date for his op and it's in the Easter hols so much easier for me to take and collect him.

    Need to go to bed soon but will update my list first ...........
