    Morning all

    Hugs Greenbee. Reunions like that are always a bit emotionally draining. Fingers crossed your email has the right effect (whatever that may be!)

    Sunny again this morning which is nice. I'm all bunged up though. They've switched the heating off in the office so everyone's putting little fan heaters on everywhere which is really drying the air out and upsetting my sinuses. I shall have to snort some olbas oil before I leave.

    This afternoon and tonight I need to go through and practise my talk for the old dears tomorrow.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    well last night was interesting;)

    was happily settled in my PJ's after a bath waiting for CSI when the phone rang. It was DD2's mate's dad - mate is sitting a GCSE art exam today and needed some pictures printing for it - 22 of them:eek: - and their printer wasn't working.:mad::mad::mad:

    So her dad e-mailed me the pics....then we discovered that our version of Word didn't match theirs....so DD2 had to email it all to our laptop and sort of alter it (? spot the technophobe!). She then put it all on a memory stick so we could print it off via the main computer!

    They arrived to collect the photos at 10pm:rotfl: - CSI - didn't see any of it!
