Morning ladies
Hopefully whatever possessed me yesterday has passed!
Have so far managed to hit the snooze button 5 times which gave me an extra half hour.
Have managed to hang 1 load on washing line :eek: although not sure how long it will stay there as pretty dull and grey, next load already washing.
Kettles on and DH has just come in late - should have finished at 6 so only 2 hours late, hopefully I can persuade him to go in late and take his 11 hours off!

I've been feeling slightly peculiar since yesterday evening... I think it might be labyrinthitis as I'm feeling slightly unbalanced (physically, not mentally before any of you say anything
). I hoping it's because I'm tired, but I really don't have time for it! It does, however, mean I'm not risking driving into the office...
Get well soon. One of my students has this and is very brave with it but its no joke.

Morning all,
Well the morning so far has already become stressful - the possible venue for our wedding reception called and said that they couldn't do any of the things we wanted (date, location, time etc), and so they are going to call back and rethink things. Called Moon at work, who was useless, and told me to sort it out, and wouldn't make any decisions because "it's not important and he's at work"!:mad: In the end, I had a go at him, and said it had to be a joint decision, not just mine, and that it was important as the manager would be calling me back, and I got him to half-hartedly tell me to get him to bring the time forward so we can use the restaurant instead of the lounge that people can walk straight through, and change the date to suit them. Just hope they are able to accomodate us, as we looked around yesterday, and it would be lovely to have the reception there. The problem we're having is that they don't charge a room hire charge (just for food etc), and we just want an afternoon tea (they do these too) for our guests instead of a sit-down meal. Oh, and I didn't realise that the closest weekend to when we get back from honeymoon is the Easter weekend.
This is exactly the reason why we wanted to get married abroad, so we didn't have to worry about the plus ones etc, and now we do, as the stupid club we were going to do our own buffet in, decided to charge us £500 instead of the usual £40! :eek:
I'm so cross!!
Sorry for the rant - I'll do some flying in a minute I promise.
