    Evening all!

    Well I discovered the cause of my headache and feeling sick and dizzy yesterday - it was a cold after all (there you all were thinking I was going to say I was pregnant weren't you lol). I kept on waking up throughout the night not being able to breathe, and was also given the class from hell to work with all day today. Anyway, I survived, and I've even managed to put a load of washing out on the line since I've been home.

    Good news is that I'm not working tomorrow anymore, as the agency thought I'd need the day to prepare for my interview, so I've said that I can take my Mum to the hospital at 10.30am for her dressing change. I expect we'll be there for most of the morning, as hospital appointments never run on time, and she may have to have an x-ray to check that she hasn't done any extra damage to her toe when she put her weight on it.

    Congratulations to lil_me and wendywitch on your good news.

    Well done to everyone who has flown well today, and welcome to all the new flyers. We're a friendly bunch here.

    Looking forward to meeting your doogie Natty if you bring them on Saturday.

    Off to look and see if tomorrow's list has gone up yet as I know pigpen has college on a Monday. BTW pigpen I sent in the claim form for the book I sent you on Saturday and the lady at the post office seemed quite optimistic that they'd be able to find it. They'll send me an acknowledgement to let me know they've received my form.

    Will sweep and mop over the floor in the kitchen in a minute so that I get my star for today.

    Take care everyone,

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    I have reheated my curry and decided it was not good after all, put it in the bin. Then I tried a recipe for garlic mushrooms on toast, not good, put it in the bin. So today, I have had 2 pieces of toast, AND I spent ages getting the kitchen clean and shiny and it's a bloomin mess now, BUT I shall go S+S it now, should only take 5 mins

    Lil_me, that was lucky

    Evening everyone. Confession time from me, I have done absolutely nothing today except sit on the laptop from miday onwards :( I haven't even got up to make a cup of tea or have anything for lunch :( I do know what it is that has made me totally lethargic - because we went out yesterday to DH's relatives it has taken it out of me. :( Really thought I was starting to knock things on the head as the warmer weather was returning but wrong!!! Oh well never mind. Still one good thing I am dressed/showered etc.

    Pic of Jet, doggie who will be with me on Saturday :) I have told him he is coming with me to meet some nice ladies and he is to be on his best behaviour, plus there is also another dog he has to impress!!

    Ooops sorry pigpen didn't mean to waffle away, only flying thing I have is decluttered emails and I doubt that counts :(
