    Morning! Hope you both feel better soon Lou and Suzy.

    I'm going to do a couple of hours studying (I'm already two weeks behind with my OU course and the first essay's due next Saturday). Then have a nap, and do my ten minutes an hour housework for the rest of the day.

    Hope everyone's well and has a good day.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Morning all

    Sally - How long are you at your sisters for? Have a lovely time. I barely talk to my sister...she's strange.

    DD1 is very, very poorly bless her, she called out last night that she couldn't move, her joints were so sore, she said she hurt so much she could cry but she didn't have the energy to cry.....it's a proper dose of flu with the sweats and shivers....I think we'll need to revise this weeks plans.

    Pap - Great news on your relative! :T As for the chocolate slabs, have you seen the thread on the "celebrations" board? DD's and I made some chocolate bits last year for pressies and they worked out really well...someone posted a link to this site.....will have a go at making our own for DD's friends.

    Pooky, Thanks :A Yes that was the handmade gifts I was going to complete on the 12week plan. I decided against it though because of the price as I didnt have a mould and the HC ones were cheaper in the long run. I am baking shortbread which will be covered in choc for work though :rolleyes:

    Todays plan for me is cleaning and dejunking :rolleyes: Mum and I have to keep my lil bros new pup entertained too as he is back to work today... Oh joys :rotfl:
  • Moooooorning!

    Been up since*official time* 5.40 am. Lol!

    Plans for today? Raid money jar and get enough funds to put petrol in car and get some food. I iz that skint. Think I will apply for that job-it's at furniture land, they want sales person and sales/admin person. Could do both, would mean weekends again etc but would mean I dont have to talk to w*nking tw*t faces on the phone every day...
