    I also washed the bedding in the spare room.......I wanted to put it in the dryer so I would only need to make it when I got home - but I forgot. Its still sitting in the machine.... wet :mad:

    I did not do very well with my flying last night. My friend had a really bad day at work, and she was popping in to borrow a lasange dish. We ended up chatting for a while about her day so her and her little boy stayed for tea and a few glasses of wine. :rolleyes:

    So as I result I still have lots to do...... and I am sooooooooo tired.

    So now I have a dilemma.........

    I work about 20 miles from where I live and the airport is another 15 miles from my work.

    Do I stay at work until about 7.30pm and then go straight to the airport from here to collect my sister (which I dont really want to do.....stay at work that is!) OR do i go home, then drive the 35 miles, back to the airport to collect her at 8pm?????

    Would you get paid overtime or be able to get time off in lieu? I would be tempted to stay to save the cost of the extra petrol :money:
