    Morning all

    Slept like a log last night and am still really tired. I think I need a really early night tonight. Have a split day today. I've managed to get myself on a half day writing course compliments of where I'm working at the moment :) so I have to go to a different office this morning then travel across town to my own office afterwards. Still, it shouldn't be boring!

    I shall fly when I get home

    Morning.

    There's not much point in me doing the master bedroom today. I'll do it on Saturday when I get my new bed :j
    soappie
    - I shouldn't moan really about the mattress. It was given to me for free when I moved in here back in May. It was either that or sleep on the floor. But it's still very, very hard.

    Not sure which room to tackle today. I might venture the bathroom and have a bash at laying the bathroom carpet. Mmmmm that should be fun :rolleyes:

    Mudbath - I thought I was being very subtle sending hugs to your reindeer Jinky.. I didn't want you to know that Jinky the reindeer was moonlighting at my house while you were sleeping..HSwhistle.gif

    So it's you who's telling him to climb pictures and go on the computer late at night. I guess it was you who told him to tell the children they could watch the snowman before school too :mad::rotfl:

    Now, have I made a list xx
