Hello. DustyKitten - well done on becoming a Governor.
Hellyboo - I need a pair of those boots to get DS1 out of bed in the morning.
PenPen - sorry about your choir friend. Pleased your DH is heading home soon.
My DH is away tonight. It's all change at work for him again and he's really narked off. He's worried they are forcing him into a corner. I feel rather uneasy about it. He has a plan B but it's not going to have a happy ending.
I've been for a long walk today with one of my Moonwalk pals. My right hamstring is not feeling too cleverI have a quieter day tomorrow. I have my interview at 10am and I have to take DS1 to a pre-op appt at 1.30.
Slow progress with the lists.

*adds spikey books to LW's Christmas list*
Of course it's ok to just do the bits of tiles you can reach! In fact, if Piggers thought you were doing yourself a mischief trying to get it all done she'd be in with a stick after you, let alone the BD! (plus, she can't really see what you've done, so a little white lie wont hurt) *whistles innocently*

I very agree with that.
Amazon just sent a mail to say my kenwood has been dispatched
and the single most negative person I work with today said that actually I had listened and had changed things and his job is back to being ok :j
TD has our bedding in, and I have a bid in on that welsh dresser with 2 hours to go..... ironing to do *yawns*'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
