Well done on the deadline with the book - just make sure you keep your brain going at work so it's still functioning when you get home to write!

Can you ask them to give you some slightly longer-term tasks... like maybe a whole day's work in one go, now they know they can trust you?

I don't think they know the meaning of a whole day's work! I did sort of prod my boss today and asked her about what I would be doing next week when she's on holiday. I think that's geared her up a bit and she found a couple more tasks for me today - one was REALLY interesting. It was removing a load of paper from a file and putting it in the confidential waste bin, then the file and the plastic sleeves back in the cupboard. It took all of two minutes....

It's only working on the book in the evenings that's keeping me sane at the moment...

And having hardly flown at all this week, I now have no excuse. My Dyson attachments arrived this afternoon so I'm off to fly..

Afternoon all

Triker - glad hubbie is ok, good luck with getting a replacement car.

Grateful - hope you are having a good birthday

Sexy - hope your science thing with the parents went well

Mudders - stroking cats is supposed to be great at reducing pain so it's good your DS likes doing it. I can't walk past my mogs without stroking them

Halfway through the bathroom so want to get that finished before more support for DS2 on his coursework, DS3 homework and dinner.

Think I will dust the LR then I can claim that star,will be catching up at the weekend when I can rope in some kiddiewinks to help,starting to feel a bit better just lacking energy wise.

I love the idea of souping up the wheelchairhas really made me laugh xxx
You will have so much more freedom LadyL Im sure you will gain more independence from this....everyone has put it so much better than me.


I have done some on line shopping for my DC DVDs PS3 games Xbox games etc,will do some more next week as funds allow but happy so far...can certainly see light at the end of the tunnel now,

Really need ideas for DS2 he is 13 and only really into Warhammer I have got him some but it is so small and expensive it looks as though he hasnt got anything compared to the other children.ie his big present is a case for his figures (to carry them to and from the game sessions) and is £60:eek::eek:.....need to get that tomorrow.

Love to all xxxx

ETA....I am in mourning......my washer is broken:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Man has been this morning as under gaurantee thank goodness...it needs a new outer drum....how long says I?

He replied how long is a piece of string:mad::mad::mad:

Not helpful with 8 in the house......

My mum is doing bits but her washer is ancient and so small the spin is terrible but better than nothing.... I hate having a backlog of washing...takes forever to catch up... oh well......

Mudbath

Dusty - we all really miss having a cat so whenever we see one we all fall all over them. They see us coming and run!

Off to find my list - there really can't be much left to do...i've not stopped! xx
