    Otherwise known as blue arris fly syndrome, Horace! (I know the feeling well)

    Hello Wol wherever you are, hope you and menagerie are well.

    Those blue arriss flies get everywhere Nargle. I have no idea where today has gone, got up watched animal 24/7 whilst eating toasted teacakes made in my new toaster, went to post box got bus to village, went to bank, nipped into Aldi, walked home, did a bit of networking online, had some lunch but can't tell you what else I have done so I figure that I must have fallen asleep or stepped into a timewarp:eek:

    List of jobs to do:
    Do washing up and put dry washing up away
    Have a bath
    Water plants
    Go to hairdressers
    Ring Dad tomorrow - its his birthday
    Get bus to Bromsgrove, nearest stop is now 2.5 miles approx from parents home - need to see them as it is mum's birthday on Sunday...shall be in the doghouse.
    Sunday - need to sling a few more things in my case and then Sunday night I am off to the airport - if I go at 11pm then I will be able to have a kip and be awake for check in at 6.15.

    Am now feeling sick - is it nerves or excitement?

    You must be counting the days to your trip to the sun, Horace (bet we have a heatwave while you're away, it often happens like that). I too did an Aldi shop today and got most of what I need for the weekend and next week's meals so am on the way to getting organised. This meal planning lark is a really good idea - it means when you do have a blue tail fly kind of day then you don't even have to think what to do for dinner, you just look at your list, defrost a hunk of whatever and get on with it. It also means no more stuff growing a fur coat in the fridge because everything (and I mean everything, get your nose out of the fridge, cat!) gets used.

    A flu that doesn't just come out with it, but nags on and snipes from the sidelines?

    Nasty...


    Hmmm...sounds like a similar strain to MiMUM flu Z :rotfl::rotfl:...Have to say things have been very quiet on that front recently - a couple of emails but no verbal contact (except with dad) since I put the phone down a few weeks ago.....and no further reference at all to the topic of said telephone conversation. It's like it never happened (insert confused smiley)

    I sent a reply email yesterday and mentioned about the BBC programme - as I thought that would give her some newsworthy material to [STRIKE]brag about[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]practice her dismissal techniques[/STRIKE] cheer her up ;).

    ( If I'm honest it was also a slightly defiant "see, at least someone thinks my house is in a pretty bad state and I've had a bad time with the builders " :rotfl::rotfl:)

    I've nearly finished the book now- which has been interesting (and enlightening) to read - and will PM you about it tomorrow Taxi :)

    sounds like you won't be able to see yourself you're whizzing around so much at the moment. Please don't take too much on and drive yourself downwards again.
    My work load has gone mad at work so i'm not one to talk really. heaven know's how i'm going to get everythind done in time but it must happen so i'll find a way around it.

    It's like the world has suddenly woken up after the winter isn;t it LT......and everyone wants things done by yesterday to make up for it :rotfl:

    Hope your boss is understanding and won;t put too much on you - at least you now have a nice new comfy bed to retire to each night.....:)

    Hope you slept well - make sure you eat something today - nature's fast food is a banana, remember.

    Banana is most definitely my staple food during the day - this morning i took two with me to the clients - while they tuck into coffee and biccies I wield my banana :eek:;)
