    Okay how long did this relationship last LOL?

    Six months, which is one whole month longer than my average.

    Have you got a job at the mo Psycho? Substituting a job with sleep is a slippery path for me which ends with the urge to watch Jeremy Kyle :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Still not working, but no urge to watch that !!!!!! thank you very much :)

    I've got an almost permanent headache at the moment though which I'm sure is due to lack of doing anything and too much sleep.

    Just say what you feel dear, you're amongst friends.

    Headache here too. Just finalising my end of year accounts to leave in a basket outside my accountant's and run away. More of a pig's ear than usual. No income but lots of expenses and - why? - VAT.

    I can't be doing with this stuff.

    Pah.

    If I was closer I'd come and be your PA, for free. It would give me something to do and help you!

    My driver will pick you up in about an hour.

    Is there nothing you're not good at?

    .

    Maybe it's the pasties?

    Have you been in touch with the temping agencies Psycho? I'm sure they'd snap you up.

    I've had the second day at the library today rewriting chapters and paying for coffee that I then leave on the counter. I'll have lost my marbles, my purse and my coffee by the time I hand this dissertation in.

    p.s. Are we having a reunion this year - I need something to look forward to. Doesn't have to be at Mikes - I mean I'm sure he's ran out of curtains for me to spill red wine on!

    Oooh! You'll know! Sun and conservatories and computers don't mix. I know this to be true. I need some lengths of fabric of some sort to hang between short lengths of broom handle (this is a simplified explanation of course...) The fabric should be dark to reduce glare, but doesn't have to be blackout as I only want to cover five areas of the roof and side windows through which the sun hits my desk.

    The only fabric shop between here and who knows where shut down recently (just typical!) so I looked online and found it All Very Confusing...

    Any suggestions please? Offers to procure, hem, edge, and all that girly stuff also welcome.
