    not too shoddy.....

    just really want to finish working now.. although it does present a challenge with working.....
    my boss even asked me if i was willing to move into my other colleague room for a couple of weeks to stay on longer..... GRRRRR! Just because every replacement he has found has ended up quiting and he's got no other option!

    am feeling much better now i've had a good nap and a cup of tea...

    why does a cup of tea always make it better????

    Put one set of laundry on, tidied away the HUGE pile of clean washing that was done, have put the dishes away, made said cup of tea, changed the bed linen, and watching a medicinal round of Jeremy Kyle, I will be washing the kitchen floor....and then am going to cook up some fajita filling for lunch tomorrow.

    Then I need to find some inspiration for some food, especially vegetarian to help with the endo crisis.....
