    No flying so far for me this week as lounging around after work and running.

    Really will catch up a bit tomorrow as I refuse to spend all weekend cleaning as per usual - I want to go out for a day instead and relax before my master's starts - feel mega excited about it but also a little apprehensive too!

    Gonna be a hard work term with full time work and fitting this into it to!

    Looks as if I will be decluttering a lump of money in the near future.
    My neighbour's damp seems to be being caused by the state of my dormer roof - the BAD state apparently.
    Will need to get a roofer as soon as possible - then work out where to find the money :eek:

    LW - Sending you coping vibes for the doctor's visit tomorrow. I'm sure you'll be fine.

    fedup - How exciting! I know you've already mentioned it, but I've forgotten. What is your masters in? You should be well and truly occupied from now on. It's a good job you are so well organised.

    I'm very confused, I posted in the thread about the Great British Waste Menu on TV later earlier on today and my post seems to have vanished, does anyone have any idea as to why it might have been deleted? I know I definitely posted as I checked back a while later. Sorry to be a complete n00b :confused:

    Crafty that is not good news. Can you claim any of it on your insurance?

    I'm in a CBA mood tonight. Just going through a few old emails and deleting loads.

    Oh yes I am organised! :T Files, paper, pens, scrap paper, file dividers, poly pockets and memory stick and ready to go. Won't say what it is in on here :p No offence meant :D

    Also have devised my next running training plan to get from 5k to 10k in the next 8 weeks - can't believe how I got from the sofa to 5k in the same time - is going well and I'm enjoying it :D
