    right i am off to a business meeting! Yes at 11am on a Sunday, but its the only time we can get together....but its all working towards my goals..

    Well done on making some positive changes Lou. Is there anything your OH could be doing now to make the transition from job he hates to job he loves now...like retraining or something.

    On failing exams...I have started to study again after falling off the study wagon following a stupendous fail...so wish me luck. This is a frog I will be doing every day till 14th December....

    Morning.

    Good luck with the studying Sammy.

    BB, ignore the !!!!!!, how old is he, he's acting like a kid in the playground.

    Buffy and Katsu, hope you feel better soon.

    I'd expected todays challenge to come up so I've been doing bits all week. I'll make sure I carry on doing something every day.

    Brr it's getting cold. I need to go into town in a bit, I think I'll have a look for some thick pj's.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    well good morning

    having a lazy day today, although i have started to de clutter another box :)

    Not sure whether to phone my friends wife back today and see if she wants anything etc, its hard to know what to do when someone dies :(

    My kitchen looks fab!!!! all walls, ceiling, window frames, door frames and windowsill are now painted :) just now need to replace some tiles and respray tiles, but cannot do that till all the paint dries :)

    suppose i best get my bum into gear and get dressed and start something constructive :)

    Trying to decide what to do with the rest of the day. Feel like I need to sleep but that would be a waste of the day.
    Cleaning I guess. :(

    I have no idea where we'll even be for Christmas this year, or Boxing Day. So just saving for now, but everyone knows they are getting token gifts this year because we're saving for a house.

    Buffy - Dr sent me straight to A&E on wednesday where they wanted to admit me but I got allowed home for good behaviour....waiting for more blood results in 2 weeks but they think it's a virus thats acting like glandular fever. Think the silly high temperature and huge puffy glands scared them. I am feeling a bit less lethargic but ache like you wouldn't believe.
