    actually managed to plant a few things this evening. Admittedly I haven't caught up on work, but a few oriental poppies have been salvaged from the pot they were transplanted into, and bunged into one of the new beds. Hopefully they'll survive!

    Guess I should head off to bed... gym in the morning... and LOTS of work to catch up on!

    Did a nice little plate of meat and cheeses for hubby so he's happy, off to bung my jimjams on and curl up and sigh a lot when I read the next instalment in the Twilight series.
    **wonders if I can persuade hubby to be all intense and vampire like**.....on second thoughts.....:eek::rotfl:

    Did you watch Buffy/Angel and Moonlight, too, then? It must have started when I watched Christopher Lee as Dracula from behind my Nan's back.

    just popping on to say hi before bed and that Dr has signed me off for a week. BP is low and she thinks journey is too much for me at the moment and said I just need rest. I feel a bit of a fraud but am relieved. Need to send an email to colleague with a few instructions on but otherwise I am free for a week. :)

    RACH Good job it's fixed now

    hugs to everyone (feeling huggy tonight!)

    Went in to work today and had a very productive afternoon, the head was in and we had a good natter/catch up about lots of different things, I came up with a few good ideas for next half term which was quite surprising LOL

    I have now totally finished 17/30 reports which is not bad, I have also done all of the comments for my maths set who are in the other class, we do ours on line so can all look at each other's...I seem to be well ahead of the other staff...am really sleepy now so off to bed, night all
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    go with it Rach

    because you are going to be occupied for years and years

    when mine were little, and i was snaffling my lunch in about two minutes I used to DREAM of LUNCH HOUR

    a luxury I never, ever appreciated until then...
