    FlowerScotland, great that you are so enthusiastic. Just don't overdo it as you will get fed up with it quickly, slow and steady is best. Babysteps. It's a marathon, not a sprint. See you tomorrow

    Night everyone, I'm pooped! Sleep well, sweet dreams

    Right - I've finally caught up

    Greenbee - biggest of biggest hugs love... and the offer for doing a copy edit will be taken up if you have any time (employed or not!) :D

    RoseP - I'll continue to nag you until you report back that you have seen your GP

    1stepcloser - well done on your star!

    Welcome Flowerscotland of course you can join in. Read the first post carefully and don't try to catch up - just start off with level one initially - you don't want to burn yourself out.

    This afternoon and evening ended up really busy for one reason or another but I'm not quite sure why......

    I did make a cracking beef stew for dinner which cooked whilst I went out for a meeting this evening.

    I have another meeting tomorrow night at my house. And my meeting with the Uni people in the morning.

    The kids finalised their mortgage application this morning. They are waiting on the results. Tense times - fingers crossed please everyone...
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
