    Aw, bless you both, taxi and freebird! I've even had an email stating concern that I'm playing my cards close to my chest!

    The new job is wonderful. I'm loving it. Back at college and the pressure is ON in big bold red letters. Exams in THREE months! How the flip did THAT happen? I'm still in the recovery position from the last lot! I'm spending a lot of time with my relative. The big shock is over, but the fallout continues and I think now is the time that I'm really needed. Money is a shambles on account of being emergency taxed (holy cow!) (apologies to Moozie for that last comment!). Not to worry - I'll get it back some time in the new tax year (:mad:), so for now I'm doing the lentils and beans on toast fandango. Spender Towers resembles a crisis zone (neither the time or the inclination to do anything housewifely). The gym is a distant memory but I hope to visit my chums there at the weekend. The waistline continues its expansion plan and breathing in a lot ain't helping. I still have fun on MSE when time allows and employ the Catarazzi to find suitable graphics. They come cheap (but don't tell them that or they'll ask for a rise). Managing to keep up with friends (just about) which is such a tonic. And in spite of it all, I'm still keeping up with my agreed payments to get the debt down. :T (Martin, you may press the "thanks" button at this point.)

    Anyone as knackered as I am after reading that?

    :rotfl:
    :eek: What if the hokey cokey is what it's all about? :eek:

    Sweetie, I am a total pain - you were right the first time!

    I'm afraid that, for now, Minnie is a dull gal.

    bless! hugs for min!!!

    must admit though I know how your feeling. J style invited me out for a swift half watching the football tonight and I don't think I have any energy to go, plus some of the guys from work are going out tonight and all I have to do is phone work and find out where they are...still have my £10 going out money too...

    glad to hear your new work is going well, don't think we've really spoken much since you started there. but I bet you didn't do that thing I suggested you do on your last day at the old job???;)

    Minnie I wanna see that hoover out for at least 5 minutes in a week, come on, chop chop. :D

    But seriously, I hope you are OK and not burning yourself out too much. I say "too much" cos I get the impression you'll have some degree of burn out along the way!

    Remember to build at least a few minutes into your day for you.

    Take care.

    Of course, you're assuming that I know where the hoover is!

    I had an early night last night but don't feel much brighter this morning. Roll on the weekend - this one's MINE!
