    Kitchen all tidied
    kitchen, family room, hall and cloakroom all hoovered.
    Debenhams delivery has arrived.

    Taught myself how to scan and email a document - for a game which has not arrived in the post - very proud of myself.

    Have done dailies as well.

May need to tag them in some way!

    Hope everyone is OK. It's great that the newbies are doing so well. Off to catch up on the thread...

    Hello all, working from home awaiting IT to ring re an issue I have re my computer soooooo thought I'd best get going with some flying.

    House is a bombsite.:o

    Rightio, firstly Carlsbergal, you cannot 'abduct' your own child who has chosen to live with you and is over the age of 12 and able to make rational decisions. Pigpens advice is spot on (ere Pigpen are you trying to do me out of my job :p )

    I would suspect that the Mother's reluctance to move from reaction to action is due to the impact of lost income.....mebbe :confused:;).

    Zoe, awww hun, you sound like you've had an awful time, soft, gentle hugs to you and rest and heal up now. xxx:grouphug:

    Lady L, hiya, :wave: was thinking of you yesterday and have fingers crossed re your scan results, take it easy today. xx

    MrsChaos, Happy Birthday for yesterday, apologies for being late.:bdaycake:

    Piggers, :j for sorting out uni and :j:j for DS1's new home, thats great news, hope it all goes well.

    PenPen, have a great time tonight, will wave right back at ya.:hello:

    Toots, how you doing? Are you still walking round with a great big grin re your bedroom carpet, great isn't it. Who knew carpet could make people so happy?:rotfl:


    I've been [STRIKE]obsessing[/STRIKE] looking at heated hot plate, buffet server things......got immeadiately busted by Greenbee who stalks me :p:D like a mad matron :rotfl:.

    Anyone else on here got one, use one, your thoughts purlease. Would a hot plate be best or one with dishes in? Some offers coming up next week at Lidl, Aldi and Netto so need to make a decision asap.

    Right best get on and chase up IT, toodles for now.

    What ho? People?

    It's the middle of the night, you crazily posting posters!

    *Stretches*

    Managed to do !!!!!! all yesterday. Went to go get up and got a call in from work.

    "CAN YOU COVER AN EMERGENCY SHIFT?!"

    Me: "...Wha-?"

    Basically, they had a teenager walk out of the shop where I work, and left the sole cashier/manager there alone with a queue backing up into the aisles and no-one out there to help. Brilliant. So my entire day was spent instead of flylading, serving customers.

    Bah.

    On the plus side - I have another day off as well. Joys of joy.

    P.S Does anyone know where that big list of recipes is on the forums? It's like, from what I remember a massive list of links and it's devided into soups and puddings and main meals etc. and some other stuff on it as well.

    Hope Zoe and Dusty feel better soon! *sends luck and good thoughts*

    And I hope that everyone is SUPERProductive today!
