tis a hour each way
:o
so what I am doing is flying like a good girl, and aiming to get LOTS done then I can be a bad girl with a clear conscience another day;);)
and have cunningly arranged to meet my flymates tomorrow for coffee when I have to go to town anyway to pick up DS's prom suit (and THIS means I won't be subjected to the Spanish Inquisition - which is where my mum has come back from, having been on holiday and will no doubt be dying to hear what I have been up to. In the interests of her blood pressure however, (high) she'll get the edited version;))
(I love a two birds one stone scenario)
am shredding and flinging like a good 'un!
