Hello everybody :wave::DI already have 2 loads on the line for I am an OPTIMIST and the pegs all match and someone here will CARE about that;)
TAG - you've been missed
Managed to get some laundry done last night/this morning, then had a massage and came to work. Breakfast has now been eaten, so I guess I'd better get on and do something useful :rolleyes: Hope you all have a good day.0 -
Good to see you back. And listen to Pigpen (I know it's difficult, seeing as she never listens to you!) - don't go back to work too soon. Can you talk to them about putting a return to work plan in place, with a phased return so you don't wear yourself out too quickly?
I do... I just ignore what she says and do as I please anyway..Dustykitten wrote: »Hello Mrs. Glad you had a great time and are feeling better. I hope your DD sorts out her college. I'd say if she really doesn't like it let her change now before the rot sets in

Yesterday I wrote
.... managed to fill 3 vacuum-seal bag thingys as follows:- 1 lightweight quilty-thing and associated cushions &pillow-slips
- 2 single lightweight single duvets and a sleeping bag
- Assorted Summer clothing
Bags still on landing - after weeks of no work coming in, OH drummed up 2 days work for yesterday and today. So, am torn between being grumpy cos bags are still on landing and being pleased cos of 2 days work.
Sometimes, there is no pleasing me:p
I vow to shut up and get on with it!

Got DS1 to school at 7.45. Really should have got up earlier but was dreaming about being a sexy lady M15 agent running around with gorgeous men in Spooks.:o It was a mad rush to get the DS3 and DD2 out to school, had to resort to school dinners (should have made lunches when watching Spooks but it needed my full attention)
Poorly relative has improved so tri daily visits to nursing home have been cut back to once a day.
DH has been away, home tonight.
