    Boddy - if you (or anyone else) have any spare tokens and Mudbath doesn't want them then I would love them!

    Half way through emptying DW, then I got bored. Better make myself finish it or I'll be coming down to a mess in the morning.

    Evening all!

    Have had a lazy day, been out for a walk, went a bit further today and it was hard work. I guess I didn't really realise how long it will actually take me to be fully back to normal, ho hum...
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Sorry TC - was getting LO in bed.... I agree with Hex, if you need it then you should get it. But like she says, be disciplined! :)

    If it helps, use it for what you need it to, then cut it up straight afterward, then you cant be tempted you use it again

    Firstly a very Happy Birthday to the lovely PenPen and Willow.

    Lamewolf - all those HHWii have obviously worked - well done for fitting into the skirt:j
    SeafarersWife - well done for finding your engagement ring!

    Vanilla - How's your DD. I hope that TA reported the horrors that are tormenting her. Good luck with your meeting.

    Sexy - Hope you feel better soon

    My manic week is abating momentarily. I had to help my sister on Monday. She is opening a Gymophobics franchise and needed to get her admin and paperwork sorted. I also managed to get my hair cut and coloured it's rather red now!

    Tuesday was my Homestart training course and it was all about the accidents that happen to children under 5 - I thought I would know it all as I have a chair in casualty with my name on it but I learned so much from a very informative lady.

    Today I had my 2nd interview and I had to build a scalextrix. Change the ribbon on a Barbie Typewriter and create an invoice from the L drive on the PC. Did all easily, he had 2 more to interview and will let me know tomorrow.

    DH is away tonight :(. It's DS3's turn to come in with me tonight but he has to wait for DD2 to fall asleep first. He usually falls asleep before her so I've probably got the bed to myself (with the lovely clean sheets:))

    Not much progress with the lists but have been doing the HHI as I want to pack on Friday morning. Potters on Sunday to see Olly Murs! Woo Hoo!

    Boddy - if you don't mind letting me have the vouchers that would be fantastic. Thank you so much - you do realise my two are going to expect presents from 'boddy' in their stockings every year!!!

    Sparkleworld - stripes says thank you for the steak!

    Thank you everyone for their concerns about Spotty dog. It's very much appreciated. I've just found out she's been referred to Chester for her MRI scan which is only about an hour each way instead of two hours. My dad's offered to go with me for the day so think we'll do some of the historical stuff there with him.

    Realised I'm getting DH and DD's sore throat which explains my lethargy today. Sounds daft but feel much better now I know why I feel carp! Lol!

    I've spent an hour putting everything in the right place. The bin bags come out from tomorrow should people leave stuff out!!!

    Thanks again boddy xx
