    Mudders - children CAN be wonderful at times and yours are being that right now!

    I'm limping. And am in pain. I've just managed to 'dead leg', as it were, the side of my knee against the edge of the coffee table when I had to make an 'avoid tripping over the dog' maneouvre on the way out to the recycle bin. That dog'll be the death of me.

    Ow, ow, ow

    But, dinner is half on. Just need to work my way up to putting the second half on...

    hugs to lola

    Hello all - sorry not to have been on. Only got back from the work thing at 9.30 last night and then had to do an hours work, then left at 7 this morning. Tomorrow I have to leave at 6.30am :( Still, it's not usually like this, just the way the week has fallen.

    My work thing was, erm, interesting. I had quite a big go at the boss, which was perhaps not the smartest move. Haven't heard yet if I've got an interview for the job I went for, hopefully I will soon.

    Flying wise not a lot has been done, though I did just do tlhe bathroom and the wm is on. I also s&s'd the kitchen after dinner. Everywhere is passable though and I think the bulk of it will have to wait until Sunday.
