    I work mon-fri all week all month all year so not many early weekends for me unfortunately!

    Anyway, uni is breaking the week up and back off to work again tomorrow.

    How crackers was I doing a masters part time and working full time?!

    Too tired to fly tonight after a 4 mile run at 6am, then a 20min walk to the station and another 20min walk from the station to uni, then return journey. Still at least its doing me some good to be active

    The flying needs doing before the weekend and I must be strict with myself this week to achieve this by Friday night!

    HTH

    However, not far from here, for another long time flylady 'tis Sunday night because HER working week STARTS tomorrow (all 2 days of it ;))

    Mmmm that would be me then :D Thanks for reminding me it is Sunday :P

    Going to sit with my stella tortoise and my shrimps and nana's to watch the Apprentice ;)

    Feeling quite pleased with myself, decluttered somw dosh at Mr S but with a combination of 342, half price, £10 off a £50 spend and the gain in nectar points I have snagged loads of presents and saved a not insignificant sum today :D

    LW I hope you get some restful sleep tonight.

    Willow fret not, the important thing is that you are doing some flying. I see that Asbo has added you to the list this week. Toots and asbo are only human and mistakes do occur I am sure it was not intended to leave you off.

    Triker enjoy! Deserve a treat poppet x

    Well those who know I'm not an organised person and panic at this time of year as I don't usually do Christmas yet will be impressed I've now ordered 8 presents.....6 from Boots including 1 each for DSs, little Ms & all DPs cousins babies things (all on 3 for 2 but of course Boots inflated prices but had a 1000 points offer which helps balance it out) so they should arrive soon. Need to get the little ones things packed up and sent to Beverley. Just my niece and nephew to buy for out of the littlies now.....well ok wicked niece is 12 so not little. Just ordered DS2 a music stand as he's started to play the cornet at school and seems to be getting into it. Too soon for his own instrument so felt a stand is suitable. Then of course got him a wolf jigsaw too :)

    Anyway, what have I got done tonight, more rubbish flung and a wash load on. Need to transfer the washer to TD soon.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
