    Sorry to hear about your ex-work colleague passing away Orkneystar!

    Well looks like OH probably won't get down tonight, so the plan is to blitz the bedroom, will go home, put some music on and get on with it! Missed the chance to get away from work an hour ago, had to drop someone off at the garage for their car - someone else volunteered so I could finish my cup of tea - think I got the wool well and truly pulled!

    Back from quacks.. referral sent through.. changed my surname on the records to my maiden name.. should be fun next time I ring and give hem the wrong name pmsl.. heyho.. I'll have another look into changing surgeries when the children are back at school.

    supposed to be going collecting after dinner so could you all please blow your rain this way so I don't have to go because I REALLY don't want to have to go.. I know I need the money but I REALLY cannot be bothered I just want to slob on the bed and watch drivel.. (holby tonight I think :p)

    As for flying .. I have swept the crumbs from all over the kitchen floor into a heap in the corner.. and decluttered a few cuppas in rapid succession.. and 2 pies which were lurking inthe fridge.

    Ooh.. new stuff from Next to try on.. I almost forgot.. and I have 2 christmas presents for the children.. They can be added to my stash.. :D .. Made a good start on the 3 littlies gifts but have next to nothing for the other 4 and nothing at all for DS1 or gf .. Jacob I have a few things for :D

    Parcel returned to dorothy perkins.. and claim form for missing package to fill in now.. and fish food bought.. so I won't have skinny fish.

    I'll go do tomorrows list in a second so you have it before 10pm when I next get time to put it up.
