    Well clearly I still look as young ;) but far more sophisticated and elegant :cool:

    Looks like I've got a client no-show... :mad: ... I wouldn't mind, but I've been getting stressed about this call all morning :o as I'm not entirely sure what they want.

    I can't do any work work at the moment, so i'm going to see whether I can do any filing while I listen to dead air on the phone...

    ETA - yep... no show... but I've filed my bank statement :D

    Morning all

    Monday's list complete


    I've done all the bedrooms today but I'll claim that when the day comes round.

    Still snowing. It must be melting on the roof even so because big lumps keep dropping off and making me jump.

    My passport form is completed, I just have to decide whether I need a new set of photos... how do you know whether you've changed enough to need a new picture?? :confused::confused:

    scan the current one in and send to me - I'll tell you :D

    I'm at home today, as predicted. Snow here too so no way I'm braving that. Boss was very nice and said he thought I would be stupid to go in. I've actually done a couple of hours of work as there were some important things to be done. Boss (well, sickness procedure) won't let me count half the day as working from home but at the end of the day i don't mind doing stuff as it helps out my colleague.

    Ankle was sore when I woke up but no more bruising has come out. As we're ttc and there's a chance it has worked I can't use arnica or ibuprofen gel (though I did before checking yesterday) so have leg up on cushion on coffee table and applying ice (bag of peas!) every now and again.

    I will do some flying later, I need to put some weight on my ankle. DH is also home today after 2 attempts to get to work - bang goes my quiet day! ;)

    :coffee: all round
