    I still seem to have the horrid headache and I have a job application to get done. I'll do my desk in the conservatory instead of 'study' as it's got so much carp dumped on since I finished my job, waiting for me to get it sorted. Here goes!

    Just imagine how good your job application will be when you prepare it on a fabulously tidy and clean desk - it'll get you in the right frame of mind! Taken anything for the headache yet??

  • No flying done so far, just a bit of pottering. have been on phone though to City and Guilds with regards to my certificate - answer yes still valid but A1 would be more valid. On phone to college, whatever I do with regards to training I now need my PTLLS cert regardless so hopefully will start that in January (10 week part time course) then try and get attachment/job with a training provider. So mental cleaning been done.
    Weather is dull and overcast here, making me feel sleeeeeepy and tired.

    ((hugs)) to everyone who has CBA-itis at the mo, seems to be rather a lot of it about

    thriftysl - hope you are on the mend, take it easy and dont go overdoing it now will you

    cyclingyorkie - take care of yourself too and hope doc has some [STRIKE]words of wisdom[/STRIKE] strong drugs

    MissH - hope you have a better day today, not sure what the phone call was about, but I have one with my Mum today, bless her etc but I never come off the phone cheery

    piggers - hope DS3 op goes well

    choccy and Poppy - yes its "that new war game" here too (CODMW2 apparently :rolleyes:). What a bunch of silly eejits they are.
    He did say I was being an Angel about it :A I told him he has til the weekend then the angel goes and I will start getting huffy.

    scotrae - hope headache is better. If not, do you take tablets and if so have you tried Migraleve - meant for migraines but obv works for "normal" severe headaches too. Always takes the edge of for me enough to cope with driving, sunlight, children etc

    I'm back home... Orlando to Newark was crowded, but we arrived and hour early, last leg of flight was good (bulkhead seat, no one next to me and no one behind and landed 20 minutes early). Taxi was there to meet me.

    Dehumidifier was FULL when I got in. It has been emptied and set off again. Heating and hot water are on, but I'm still cold and tired... I think that despite my good intentions I need to turn up the heating, make a couple of hot water bottles and have a sleep for a few hours (I have a mini-facial and back massage booked for 2.30).

    I've obviously got to unpack & deal with my laundry, plus get the spare room ready for my parents, and I need to do my expenses before the weekend...Oh yes, and meal planning and food shopping... so that'll keep me busy!

    Have skimmed the thread but I don't think much went in!

    Poppy that’s so funny – buying a new oven to get out of cleaning the old one!! We will just have to bite the bullet and do it one day soon - perhaps we should do it on the same day and then we can encourage each other

    Pink you are doing really well - wonder how the other ladies got on with their HHC/HHCooking!
