    Its nice to know I am not the only book fan here but I must not buy anymore with my Birthday this weekend (one already gotten) and Christmas approaching. (Cough - that doesn't count the one i ordered with my start of bits for Christmas hampers, needed to make money up to get free postage hehe) :rotfl:

    My trip to the hospital for the scan went well but the poking and prodding of the probe thingy has left me with some pain and grumpy gallstones hence still awake. :mad: The nurse measured one and it was only 6.7mm long (1/4inch) but there are 4/5+ it was hard to see them all. Ahh well just waiting now for the operation invitation.

    Had a good session of study and other than a refresher am totally prepared for my tutorial and am a whole week ahead. Want to stay ahead so can take time out for op without panicing. :D

    Anyway I have made use of this late night and boiled off my two ham hocks and nom nom are they good. Stupidly I left the window closed and managed to turn my kitchen into a sauna but it inspired me to wash two of the three windows in there. :mad:

    Also;

    Cleaned bathroom :D
    Washed paintwork in hallway (counts as landing too as bungalow) :D
    Updated eBay spreadsheet
    Organised Favourites

    Hmm not bad if I say so myself.

    Oh and great news... the man I am totally crazy about is coming over for my Birthday (he lives 3 hours away and had to arrange childcare) :j:j:j:j:j

    Big loves, hugs, spoons and sweet dreams all round

    Morning All

    DS woke me up at 4 as he's not very well so no school for him today. Will ring mum later to see if she can have him while I go to work. We're currently lying in bed with a dvd on.

    I could do with a day off actually to get some jobs done but unless my mum can't have him I'll be going to work.

    Hope everyone has a good day

    Hugs

    I think I am going to give up on flying this week. I don't seem to have any time and the idea of it is stressing me out. The house is still tidy (apart from the RoD) so I will just get going again next week.
