Hi all,

Must find some other symbols for starting this off - any tips cos I'm a bit bored of **** (really shouldn't have made that 4!!!)

Off to Uni today to do a Prince II course. Wish me look. I've put my best '42 year old trying to look hip' look together. I'm sure that'll help me pass:T

    The title is bold in the main list if you've not read it, and unbold if you have.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.

    Morning all.

    Got up this morning to find Hubbles has done the dishwasher and hoovered through:T He has his plus points;)

    Today I start Operation Kitchen - will empty ALL cupboards drawers and work surfaces, clean down walls and surfaces, paint walls (white rather than current dingy magnolia) and then put it all back in a way that works better...

    I shall NOT be actively waiting for the phone to ring today or tomorrow....

    ETA: Sorry to hear she's poorly Linda. How has she picked that up?

    morning, just off to work.

    Had a dream about Cruella. Weird to do that now, but not a good way to wake!

    Last teacher training class today, then one part of my mad schedule is finished for good bar handing in the research project, which is just a paper pulling together job over the next few days.

    See you all at head change lunch time!

    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Morning....back at work so nothing of any interest to report. Will be phoning the FSCS in a bit to get a form to reclaim my PPI. Other than that, a NSD I hope.

    Hand, foot and mouth Linda....ooh poor little girl. Anything they can do for her?
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    No just snuggling on the sofa with her 'cosy' (favourite pink fleecy blanket), teddy bear and cartoons!

    It's one of those diseases that sounds horrendous but is a very common childhood virus.
    It clears up by itself after a few days.

    apparently jammy pancakes are very good for when you feel poorly so she tells me! ;)

    It kicked in at 3am. I mean, how unsociable!

    I feel tons better now though. OK, do I join the gym or buy more kit to exercise with (am thinking of ankle and wrist weights as I walk a lot)
