    Yey! I can finally say I'm in now it's half term. Oh dear, just seen the time - this clock change and the afternoon nap have completely messed up my body clock - good job it's half term and I don't have to get up early tomorrow.

    Night (or should that be morning) all,

    sexymouse xx

    PS Thanks to pigpen for the lists and toots and soappie for the stars that I'll hopefully get this week.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Am at home until Wed lunch so will hopefully do a bit more this week but friends are coming Tuesday afternoon (chap who was our best man and his wife) so it could be a massive celebration or a dorwn our sorrows evening depending on DH assessment.

    In the mean time I will crack on.
