    Sorry hun - forgot that I had not made fudge for DS1's birthday tomorrow so did that instead. Well done on the saving.

    KazW I hope your shoulder gets better real soon

    Grateful - take care sweetie

    Dinner done.

    DS1 cleaned the outside of my car so it is all done now for at least 6 months

    Need to make DS's cake and wrap his presents for tomorrow.

    Oooh! Just got to scrub the bath then I'm done!

    I have also quartered a pheasant from the butcher today and put some in the freezer and some in a casserole dish along with tomatoes, onion, garlic, celery, juniper berries and port. It is in the oven cooking gently at the mo and smells divine!

    Evening all! I promise I have done a little flying :o but last night I went to see Seth Lakeman and today I have been to football so a great weekend all round so far :D :T

    This morning I went into town and picked up a parcel, posted some postcards, paid in a cheque and some cash, bought a few bits in Mr T and bought a new book! I also did a load of washing which almost completely dried out on the line :D

    I think I have caught up with the thread but apologies if I have missed anything.

    kalojac - my condolences; hugs x

    Sorry not to have posted much this week but due to still having our expensive we-pay-him guest ( the electrician ) around the place I have been without electricity in the day time. And in the evenings I am trying to clean up the days mess plus get a bit of flying done.
    It's been kind of interesting, I never realise how important order was to me until I was plunged into this chaos!! Still all my evening clean up sessions have meant that a lot of flying has been done.

    Hun, that place is hell, the head is an evil unprofessional witch. I'd get sick the last day of Easter Holidays and get signed off for the last 2 weeks of your contract. Take everything with you on your last day of term - actually start bringing stuff which is yours and you don't need home as of Monday x

    Sounds like a plan! You'd probably feel very uncomfortable doing this, but it may be in your best interest, especially if you can't leave earlier.
