    Thank you for your good wishes at work today :D. I deleted around 1000 emails without reading them, shredded a 5 month pile of information overload and filed a bunch of stuff... drank tea, went for a walk around the block with some colleagues (attempt to keep fit and defuzz our brains), had lunch and left at 2pm (was told by numerous people not to stick around; what you gonna do? ;)). Manged to get in before 10am too! If only that were my normal hours ;).

    And wandered off with a big bunch of flowers (after I had to go back in for them! Not used to being given flowersso tend not to look for them at the end of the day). ;)

    Hi Spoon, how are you?
    Gym was good thanks, I very nearly didn't go, was all set to drive past and head home tired, but managed to motivate myself. I always feel much better afterwards but still sometimes struggle to actually get there:o.

    Nicca - hope today is going well and you are being eased back in to it gently.

    I know exactly what you mean! And once there, I wonder what all my fuss was about!

    Today I went, accidently managed to muddle up two of the machines and tried to lift 10 kilos more than I normally would on the pecs machine! :rotfl::rotfl:. Boy, is that bound to hurt tomorrow!

    Talking of which, I hope you gave your ebay elephant a good send off 3dogs! And it can't possibly be me your hinting at; I've one whole item
    on my turbolister :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    Great news about daughter's hair, Carol:j
    Poor little spider was probably more frightened of you than you of it - glass and an envelope is my solution to spiders, won't touch them but can't bear to hurt them
    Thanks, a bit of the old cockney rhyming slang:)
    I know - love it:D:D

    Glad your day went OK, nicca:j- great way to ease you back into it
    Ouch to the pecs machine:( and the penguins would probably get on really well with your elephants:rotfl:

    Hello Mrs N :D.

    Am stting here wishing some-one would cook me my tea, but looks like I'll need to do it myself :(.

    Are you Scottish too or did you marry one? :) (That sentence looks a bit odd! Maybe it's just 'cos I'd give my clients a row for asking inappropriate questions if they started quizzing strangers on such things! :o)
