    tattoos, trips to Bruges. did i miss anything else??

    had a bit of a rubbish day today. DD was sick in the car this morning taking DH to work so has felt very sorry for herself today. we have spent most of the day in bed playing quietly and watching DVD's (i now HATE pingu) so i didn't get much sleep. i am now shattered. at least tonight is night 4 so my last night til monday. got 2 M/S tomorrow then will spend the rest of the afternoon in bed i think. DH better not have plans for tomorrow (i'm always the last to find out if he does)

    shift should be okay. it's not like i do anything. although that makes it worse sometimes cos i haven't got anything to do. my plan for the night is to get off here (am emailing pics of DD to my sister at mo - that's my excuse anyway) then i'm going to finish the back of the jumper i'm knitting.

    I would have to take a book or something. Can't stand doing nothing! Drives me insane... hence my attempt to write a book. Need some excuse to keep avoiding the housework while unemployed LOL
