    Hello everybody :wave::D
    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 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 :D

    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.

    Bags now on landing, along with boxed-up summer sandals, waiting OH foray into the loft!

    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

    Waiting for Sky man to come and rejig the boxes. My DS1 and 2 are paying for HD it's a fiver each a month.

    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.

    Off to tackle bedroom now.
