    Is everybody still in bed? I've been up since 5 and been sorting some stuff out for work. No staff meeting tonight as we had to stay late on Monday instead but I still don't have to pick the kids up until 5.45 from my parents' house - knowing me though I'll end up getting caught up at work anyway!

    SS - pleased work went well - sounds like you'll really enjoy it.

    LL - hope you're feeling a bit better today - thinking of you - hugs.
