    Chipping away at the family room. Determined to get this room finished by the end of the month even if I don't manage the rest of the list, although a concerted effort will be being applied.

    Diving for DS3 next and then cricket awards night. He so wants to win an award but as he got one last year we keep telling him it is unlikely. Hope it will not be tears before bedtime.

    I have had a horrendously busy week, and am now struggling to keep awake.

    Monday was OH's birthday, so I rushed home from work to do the dinner etc, Tuesday Prospective Parents' pm, then Wednesday ws Presentation evening - so two fourteen hour days. I managed to get through yesterday with hefty chocolate rewards for good behaviour and work, then collapsed and slept for hours!

    Today I have whisked down town to pay my credit card - unbelievably, it isn't possible for Halifax to process the payment, even though it is a card supplied by them. I complained at length to the manager, who agreed it was daft. Paid it in a proper bank ;)AnW's mum.

    Two lots of washing have been done, and a bit of dot-to-dotting. I'm way too tired for anything else - back to proper flying tomorrow! Though I will zip the vaccuum round in a minute...

    hugs for Msgnomey, I'll be sending very positive vibes your way.
