    Hi all, well I'm up but not got going yet.

    So far decluttered a cup of coffee and made one important phone call.

    Discovered I'm a week ahead of myself so all is well, phew, thought I'd doubled booked myself re appointments.

    Today I need to

    get the washing out

    get details of hotel from Vegas as they appear to have charged my credit card twice

    check bank account

    complete other list from other day

    get tonights tea ready with leftover meat

    buy some decent coffee

    ebay something

    ring re getting signed off sick

    I also noticed GnB hasn't posted for a while but she's been on the Ugg thread, briefly, hope all is ok with her and her family.

    hHaven't had time to catch up properly but just thought I'd check up on you all while checking in for my flights. Working this morning, then flying to NY this afternoon to get the last flight out of Newark tonight. So I'll be back home tomorrow around lunchtime.

    I use a rucksack for work as I walk 15 mins to and from the station and like to be able to swing my arms and march along but I fancy something new for the weekends etc. which reminds me...greenbee where did you get your new little rucksack style handbag?
    It was a local dept. store - I've seen them in other places before too. It's probably worth a bit of googling as I'm sure you'll be able to find a stockist somewhere in London ;)

    greenbee - just notice what time you posted this morning, may have missed it but are you overseas or just living the high life at the mo.

    I'm in Orlando, and have seen nothing but the hotel :o But am really enjoying the work.

    OK... I must get dressed now so I can finish packing and get checked out before the morning sessions start! I'll catch up with you all properly tomorrow xxxx
