    I've been on a course today - not very uselful, and sadly a waste of my day icon9.gif However, I now have 6 days off, and DH is home from China tomorrow evening :D :j :T

    DS has gone out, DD is doing homework, so I'm looking for a list :p

    When I used to go on courses like that, I used to think, well at least I'm being paid to sit indoors on my bum and not have to do much. Even tho I was bored out my brains!

    I feel like I've been really productive today, even tho I've not been able to cross much off the lists. It's been a good flying day.
