Morning all,

Been a while since I was up at this hour but I have more work than time at the moment. Off for a shower in a few mins, then buying some stuff from Sainsburys, checking my plants at the uni and on with some essays. I'll probably be popping in and out for most of the day though. So, what's everyone else doing?

    Morning All

    Back to work today after a week off! Will have lots of emails and work to catch up on, as there is no one else to cover my work.

    Wish it was pay day but still two weeks to go :(

(they were amazing, obviously had a lasting effect ;) )

    morning all

    well FIL is STILL in hospital, gggrrrr, however from what they have said it isnt anything serious, and the reason he has been in so long is becuase they have been trying to identify all of the little problems he has which has caused to a big effect

    older daughter is better now, although grumpy as anything damned teenage girls

    wee one is still ill :( but did seem a little better yesterday and has slept a lot more last night so i was only woken twice

    wife seems to have now gotten the bug and is feeling really sorry for herself, and i have had to come into work so i can pick up a load of work which i can do over the next two days so i can go home to help out.

    didnt manage to get up to Derbyshire this weekend for my cousins wedding or the christening but at least everyone understood why

    barcleycard still will not move my wifes balance over to a better rate card, so i have had to start again looking for another way of getting the balance onto something which is going to be cheaper

    so another long old week ahead of me, at least i am off next week and my parents are coming to visit,

    so who wants to bet that i will come down with this tummy bug the day before they are due to come down

    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)
