    Morning ladies, I've been up since 6.10 and have done practically sweet FA! Terminal case of CBA I'm afraid.

    Have s/s kitchen, only cos kitchen table was getting on my nerves - why did we buy a glass one?

    I'm seriously down today, combination of a few things, slept poorly, elbow still giving me grief and have I have an impending sense of doom - do you know what I mean?

    Need a serious kick up the ar£e and a stern talking to

    Hope you are all ok today x

    Morning everyone. I feel a bit more human today after having a decent sleep. Need to go and buy GS1s deep fat fryer so will do that shortly. Meeting DD for lunch then its bed for a few hours before my night shift. Will get some flying done though. Nothing will be resolved at work as no one knows who did the crime except the person. Plenty of speculation though.

    Valli Was thinking myself that its sad my last few months are going to be overshadowed. Though have decided they wont be as Im going to be positive and happy with the clients and staff. Hope its not arthritis you have. Its a painful thing.
    Mudbath I thought it was Thursday yesterday too. My colleague had to tell me it was Wednesday chores not Thursdays.

    kazmeister. Have not got a lot planned for my holiday. Im at a wedding on Sunday though and meeting a friend in Newcastle on Wednesday.
    rosepink. Ate biscuits,chocolate and rubbish at work yesterday so will try and do better today.
    Lady L Hugs.
    Toots Take it easy.
    Soappie Im interested in my MPs expenses but not sure where to look.

    been up for 2 hours - how I have managed to stay away from here that long I will never know!!!
    LOL you did better than me I was on here as soon as I got up!

    Does anyone have Pigpen’s description? If anyone who looks like her turns up with fluffy mules and a feather duster in hand, I will know not to open the door! LOL!

    Well done with the weight loss Thifty, sorry to hear shopping was such a nightmare

    Thanks for the tip GnB

    Big hugs Carlsberrgal

    I'm having a relaxing day today, but I'm sure I will get some things done from the lists. Had a stressful start to the day, as had a worrying message from a vulnerable friend (she's recently moved, and has learned she needs another operation, and she doesn't cope well with life and can't take stress or change without having major problems) but she's ok now and is seeing some professionals today who will support her. Then I went back to bed and read my book, and now I am up properly!

    Just off to do the bathroom now.
