    Morning all

    Happy Birthday Ashia, have a great day :bdaycake:

    Back to work for me today, the great thing about my PT hours is that one weeks holiday feels almost like 2 as it is almost a fortnight since I was in.

    Will be doing some flying at work today, got a major declutter operation to manage over the next couple of days :D (assuming no one else has done it which I very much doubt)

    Will check in on you all later, have a good day.

    Special hugs to LL and toots.

    Morning all, not been posting but do try to keep up with the thread.

    Flying is impossible as OH has now been out of work for 4 weeks and he just clutters up the place. LadyL - thanks so much for asking after me a few days ago, I'm OK just a bit down at the moment and not much good company.

    Popped in to say
    Happy Birthday Ashia :bdaycake::bdaycake: from your Mum
    Hope you enjoyed the meal last night and did you wear your new 'hello kitty' sannies?
