    Morning all :)

    I had a great day yesterday :) My paper was accepted at work (finally!) - and now this one is done it gives the green light for the other one. I'm so happy, it's the conclusion to four years very very hard work :) Then I won a raffle from a etsy seller I buy far too much from (she sells polymer clay moulds, japanese paper clay and cute little cookies - I've never seen anything like this in the UK, it's quick to arrive too) :)

    This store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=7282627&ga_search_query=yippie&ga_search_type=seller_usernames

    OH has a phone appointment with his solicitor on Thursday (having missed the other one yesterday) Hopefully he can shed some light on what's going on.

    Pippa.S. - congratulations!

    I'm still marking, which is hard work - but I'm getting there - deadlines creeping up though! My industry sponsors are coming monday, rather than tomorrow as I'd thought, so I have some space to breathe.

    I am looking for a cheap hotel room in London as I've just realised we are going to a concert at the O2 arena (Nine Inch Nails are playing) on the 15th July, then to brussels on the 16th, so we may as well stay in London overnight. I wnated to go to another concert on the 14th (The Mars Volta are playing at Somerset House), but decided that would probably be a bit too much, so I booked tickets to see Passion Pit when they come to Oxford in October instead :) I am very very excited :) I'm still working on getting OH to agree to Knebworth.

    Beef stew in the slow cooker for tonight - I know it's a bit warm, but it won't fit in the freezer.

    Right - must go and feed cells and get on with the marking :) have a good day all, cel x

    HI all. Happy Anniversary to Mr and Mrs Pippa! 42 years, eh? Have a great day! It was our aniversary yesterday but we celebrate the day we met instead, because it was my birthday (and it's DS1's, too). We've always felt that that was the 'bigger' occasion because a lot seems to have happened to us on that particular date.

    Celyn - many congratulations on a great achievement. You sound very relieved!

    I'm sure it's getting hotter by the minute here. I'm going to hunt down a couple of fans, I think! By all accounts, it's as hot in the UK, too.

    Pippa Congratulations to you both! We are half way compared to you as we'll have been married for 21 yrs in September.

    Mioliere Life certainly sounds lovely in France I'm pleased that it's all worked out for you :j

    Celyn Well done!

    Grandmasam :T :T :A :A You have every right to be proud!

    We've been a busy bunch today! I'm back from shopping now, having [STRIKE]10[/STRIKE] 45 mins on here to cool down & then making the sweet & sour for tea. It's a beautiful day here now, not as muggy as recent days so it's much more pleasant. Hope that everyone is having good days xx
