    Morning!

    Ugh, w**k today. It will probably be really busy today because there has been a bank holiday and some people get ever so stressy because we have been closed for an extra day!

    Im feeling a bit tired today because I went to bed a bit later than planned, so I think I might have an early one this evening. I meant to start my revision yesterday but it didnt happen, I think im having a bit of a procrastination probem! Im going to try and do an hour this evening.

    I dont really have much else to say so Im off, gotta attempt to make my eye suitcases seem nothing more than tiny purses!

    Hi all
    I don't often get time to post on here in the morning, but I made it today.
    Have taken hubby to the station, had breakfast, washing is on the line & another load in the machine.
    Off to w**k now, hope everyone has a nice day.

    Morning all.

    Not much to report as yet, will be on my way to w**k in about 10 minutes.

    Have made sandwiches for myself and OH - let's just see if he remembers his - he has a tendency to "forget" them so he has to buy something from the local cafe!

    Hope everyone has a good day, will be back later.

    Morning everyone :wave:

    I feel a bit lazy today as I'm not going into work till 0930. I'm owed hours upon hours of time in lieu and I'm determined to take it, feel strangely guilty about being late though! How odd am I?

    Hi Aussielass - welcome to the Wally Club!! V. exciting and it saves on the arm power. I had one a few years ago but OH made me get rid of it. Now that I've got rid of him I bought my self another one. An arty friend of mine has offered to customise it and when I move I'm hoping to be know in my new area as the 'mad woman with a trolley' :p .

    Congrats on your contract, sorry to not be up to date with news, but are you buying a house to move into? Or is is land?

    Penny-Pincher -sorry you are not feeling too well, I know what it is like to be in pain so my thoughts are with you x

    Everyone who is back at work: catowen, stressedoutmumof1, Hardup Hester, skystar, SnowyOwl have a good day. P.S. skystar - how do you manage to normally get up when the alarm goes off? I just can't do it :(

    To everyone studying; jw1096, good luck with the revision tonight! I aim to do at least an hour tonight, but have a job interview to prepare for.

    catowen - have fun in Plymouth, let me know if you spot any bargains in the shops for when I go shopping later in the week :)

    Byee all, have good days MP x

    Morning all, I am sat here with a towel wrapped round my head as I actually got time to wash it this morning, with hair this long it's a rare occurence for me to wash it while the kids are getting ready.

    I am now sat here supervising as DD won't get ready without being yelled at every 5 minutes.

    Very stiff after yesterday but I still have loads to do, I'm hoping DH will be better this morning so he can nip into town and pay in a cheque for me. I've just reviewed the finances and although we have enough to pay the bills and get food etc there is not a lot left over so I think it is time for me to quit the dreaded weed. I have wanted to for ages but just never had the will power so over the next couple of days I will hunt out my Allen Carr book and tapes and attempt to quit beginning of next week. Wish me luck everyone?

    Morning everyone
    Sorry you've had another rough night PP I'm back to you know where too so all of us who have to to 'that place' today need to send each other positive vibes & maybe it'll all wizz by in a blur of success & people telling us how brilliant we are. Flying pigs alert. Congrats Ausielass I'm so pleased it's all going ahead at last. I looked at your photos yesterday & all I can think of to say is WOW.
    We had a really great weekend away. Two lovely bike rides - a total of 50 miles - 3 yummy meals out, a very well kept campsite (if a bit posh for us), lovely weather & lots of laughs with our friends. BLISS. We're doing something similar at the end of the month too, going to Northumberland for a week & a bit so not long to wait for the next lovely time. It makes going to work almost bearable.
    Better get on, see you later.

    Edited to say GOOD LUCK MOGGINS. You can do it. Is there a support thread on here somewhere? I'm sure there must be.
    xx
