    Thanks all, she is fine now thanks. Busy tormenting her sister and Dad! It was a bit scary as it's the first accident she's had and head injuries are always a worry, luckily it was minor :)

    Glad you got the book Hypno - Enjoy!

    DH has kindly taken the girls out for the afternoon. I am so tired and really would love an afternoon nap. I was all ready to take one but.......felt too guilty! :o

    So I've turned the house upside down looking for the car log book. I only found a slip which is good as it has all the necessary info, but bad because it's not the log book :mad:
    So I called DVLA and a lovely helpful lady said she'd send me a new one! :j

    House Insurance docs have been unearthed too :T, but they close at 12.30, so I'll call them on Monday.
    Parceled up some Ebay stuff - but awaiting payment for one more.
    Also, put a load of washing in.

    So not too bad considering I really CBA today. I could quite happily give up the Demon drink for good. I just can't cope with feeling rough the next day - there is always too much to do!
    Oh and STILL can't get the car photos to load. Don't know what the prob is. Will have to ask DH when he gets back.

    You've done a fair bit......now, go and shut your eyes for half an hour, no need to feel guilty!

    I'm lying in bed (fully dressed in a Saturday afternoon Guilty pleasure kind of way) with laptop, Ebay and The National! Good luck to anyone with a punt!

    Went for a 6 mile run this morning, but REALLY did not want to. I decided to do my route in reverse to make it more interesting. This meant I ran 4.5 miles up hill :(
    It was hard, but I'm glad I went :)
    Surprisingly, I haven't put on any weight this week, and although I haven't lost any - I do feel slimmer. I guess some of the flobbage is turning into muscle!

    DH is looking at my photos today and the car will be listed this evening.

    We had planned to go to Ikea to buy the girl's wardrobes, but they are never in stock. I really don't want to pay £35 delivery charge, but it looks like the only way we will get them as Sunday is the only day we can borrow a vehicle big enough to collect them ourselves.

    Plan for today is washing and some paper decluttering, then mentally preparing myself to go back to work tomorrow.
    I'm dreading it. I've had a lovely week off with the girls, plus I feel like I've achieved lots in the house. Unfortunately, needs must....

    Well done on that run :T If the wind drops I may head out this evening.......perhaps!

    I am back at work tomorrow too......it has been lovely being at home for a few days, but as you say it doesn't pay the bills, sadly!

    Arrgghhhh! I am losing the bl00dy will to live with the Ebay photos :mad: :wall: *@!!

    I've never had problems before, so don't know why they won't load. DH told me to reduce the pixel size and save for web - which I have and they STILL won't load!!!!

    Perhaps I'm not meant to sell this car, maybe there is another way.....*exhale and release*

    I'm not surprised you are getting narked. I wish I could suggest something to help, but other than "pour yourself a glass of wine", I wouldn't know where to start!

    Thanks for that KM - if I can't get it to work, then techy board it is!

    Luckily DH builds websites for a living, so he has resized the photos and told me to shutdown and restart. He reckons the problem is with their server (but in all honesty, he's not that bothered and said "Just do it tomorrow" :cool:)

    As for wine Hypno, I'm giving up alcohol until the Manchester 10k. A relative was diagnosed with terminal C this week :( I am prone to health anxiety myself, so that news coupled with the skinful I had on Friday, has made me a bit jittery. So, it's chamomile tea until calm has been restored :o
