    Oh I feel your pain Birdie! We sit in a little office of three, we're all quite lazy - albeit we work hard and are good at our jobs, but as I said we're all currently hooked on facebook scrabble! - but I'm the one who sits with my bock to the door, so not only can anyone who passes see what's on my screen, if people are quiet I don't hear them sneak up behind me - it's so annoying! Luckily we have a black and white printer in our office, and the colour ones are activated by cards so it won't print off til you've swiped and are standing there anyway!

    I'd love to be able to come to work and not faff on the internet as much, do the work I've got to do all crammed into the morning, which could be done, then have the afternoons off to be creative and run naked and free through the meadows...

    I cracked Tete, I ordered some Jersey fabric from ebay that isn't dayglo camel. I'm very scared of working with so much pattern.

    Hope you manage to find a new car! It is not fun looking for one but great when you find one.

    I think my sister is back in the country now, fingers crossed!

    I never seem to find time for the internet at the moment. I also have a new grad next to me so feel like I have to set an example. We did have a lovely afternoon yestedray at a screening for Camp Rock 2 :rotfl: love it!

    I've just been looking at that Dinah! That shop seems to have quite a few nice ones! Would be great to have a nice maxi dress for your honeymoon!

    I was just wondering about you Wendz. glad your sis is back - when do you move though? Have you had to do her packing in the end? Hope it all goes well!

    Yep that was my thought - and it seemed a really good price too. NIM is spending the weekend on a uni essay, so might be my chance to cut it out if it arrives in time.

    I did most her packing so she will have come back to a nice messy room that you can hardly move in. We aren't moving till Sunday now as the van we were going to hire today is broken! Gives us more chance to get organised though.

    I am tempted to go up and start painting while it is still fairly empty but have to persuade OH as is a bit of a drive.

    Your poor Sis, she'll not be able to find anything as you'll have packed with totally different logic to how she would I bet! Makes sense to go and paint, one less thing to do and you'll be able to move in and unpack.

    Oooh Tete I meant to mention the other day that I'd noticed you'd moved onto The Amber Spyglass finally! Well done! How are you getting on with it?

    Haha thanks! I'm only halfway through the second chapter so far :o Enjoying it though! Have you read them? I want to get it finished by the time I go away so I can take a thinner one on the plane with me!

    Yeah, I've read the series 2 or 3 times, I really enjoyed it! I can understand not wanting to take it on holiday though, it's huuuuge!
