    Get well soon Froggy.

    And all the best for the new direction after you finish at your current job. :)

    Thanks for the kind words Pooky, Cath & Lydia ;)

    I am so glad it's the weekend.. I have more or less recovered from my bout of man flu.. juts a niggling cough hanging around..

    The weekend will probbaly consists of keeping warm and packing for the next adventure.. A trip to the storage unit awaits, maybe I will even find hidden and forgotten treasures..not :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a wonderful weekend..

    Hello

    Bad news

    Somehow still suffering from the leftovers of man flu.. It's taking its time :mad:

    I feel the need for a change.. Working for somebody else is not my cup of tea anymore.. I feel utterly frustrated.. I can see so many changes that need to be done, I have offered my time and services to help rectify those issues but I keep being rejected.. In the meantime, colleagues and bosses just get on and whinge and moan all day..

    My plans have been slightly delayed.. The move will take place in 4 weeks time instead of next week.. Not a major issue but something I wished I could have avoided..

    Good news

    All going the right way money wise, I should have some more money to add to the pot in a few days..

    My niece is growing up quickly and is very cute :p

    Nice weather outside (from what I have heard :o), hopefully will make a nice change for the commute home..
