    Yoohoooo :hello:

    A little birdie asked me to pop in and say hello so Helloooooo!!!

    Am love, love, loving my job and have even managed to get a promotion and a pay rise.:eek::D:o
    Between the job and doing OH's office work I am working more than full time. On top of that I am still chairing the school board, running the gardening club and sitting on the attendence council. So quite busy. :o
    Am just about managing by resting when I can and batch cooking etc on my my days "off". Any downside healthwise is far outweighed by the enjoyment I'm getting from the work. OH has been an angel and is ironing as we speak. :A
    Family wise, the girls are busy with concerts and activities, OH's business is going well and he's building a tree house for the children, the hens have learned how to ambush me when I open the back door (but are laying 28 eggs a week so I forgive them), the cat has taken to bringing huuge hooded crows in the cat flap at 5am and the dog remains the best behaved of the lot but still has a penchant for an afternoon snack of chicken poo. :D

    I have no hope of catching up and no idea when I'll be back but wanted to say Hi and I hope all is well with everyone. Great news Snoozer!!!

    Take care everyone

    Haribo x

    Well went for my tests this morning but only managed to have one as the nurse took me in for the wrong test first which meant I couldn't go in for the other one as I had missed my slot and the consultant couldn't fit me in:mad: I was not a happy bunny. So now got to wait until the 12th April to have the other test:mad: unless I can get a cancellation. Oh hum. Ok rant over.

    Definitely a peaceful baking and radio 4 day for me tomorrow. I need to calm down:o

    Stressed about my health and being off work and feel guilty cos DH is stressed and feel like I am not contributing although know I am just not well enough to go back:eek:

    Things can only get better, roll on Friday and the meeting. Our luck has got to change soon, hasn't it?

    Well I didn't get any sewing done - the weather turned out lovely and sunny so I just had to have a little potter in the garden. Still waiting for my dig in seeds.

    Telly is rubbish tonight so I will do a little surfing.

    Watched more telly than usual last night cos my fave Grow your own Drugs is back with a new series and I Luuuuuuurve James Wong, He makes me go gooey :)

    Thought I would give Sophie Dahl a watch and really didn't like it :p

    Asked DH what was said when he asked the workmen to move they were ok about it and the shouting was some mong who was trying to overtake him even though he was indicating :mad:

    npm.... take care of you hun, hope you feel better soon ((((hugs))))

    Haribo...... Great news about the job - the ones that are enjoyable are few and far between x

    Julie67........ I had this happen to me once and stood my ground - after all it was no fault of mine and the test was done on the same day.

    Donnygal....... hope everything goes ok at the interment of the ashes.. Both of my parents were cremated and interred and we found it difficult going through the wait in between - even though the interment only lasts about 10 mins ..the vicar says a few words and you have the option of lowering the ashes yourself . (((hugs)))

    Oh well that is about all I have tonight Sweet dreams all x x x
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
