    Just flitting through. Long, awful day at work. Thinking of handing in my resignation if next Wednesday goes this badly. I'd rather do supply.

    I'll be cleaning tomorrow....

    I hate audio typing... I don't have the right kit to do it... no pause pedal. I'm working with an mp3 of a colleague doing a presentation and trying to use it to type up the notes pages. It's taking forever. Then again, at least I'll learn it :D

    Evening all

    Better late than never, I suppose. I'm kind of in again this week, so huge thanks to all involved in the thread. Not sure how much I get done this week - will need to stop feeling tired and get over my foul mood first. :(

    I lost the plot sometime on Saturday. We got back from costco quite late and I spent the whole evening researching for our holiday. As a result, we've now got an overnight hotel in London for £32 (family room), eurostar tickets booked and lots of info for when we are there. On Sunday I mooched around in the morning and sorted laundry, then went to B&Q/Mr M's for bits (gasped at prices for playhouse paint :eek:) and neighbours had a BBQ in the afternoon. Had a really nice time, but little flying done.
