    hi hope all is well.
    I've had my folks visiting for an hour this morning which was nice.
    Mr LT is at work :( and i'm trying to sort out my Outlook problem at the moment. I knew i shouldn't have upgraded my office package.
  • Home again - not a 'non' work day here

    although my focus has been poor.

    Hope you're all OK - nice to see you all.

    Tryiing get a tonne of washing done - nice sunny/windy day here.

    Worked in garden for an hour covering over an area and moving boxes for makeshift cold frames from fish boxes into it.

    Need think about tea and then down to a bit of thesis work - really pushing to get on if I can. I need to finish asap.

    a shed load of plants to sort for ebay tomorrow post - but will organise that later with a cuppa and a note book - 16 sales - (over the long weekend not all at once)

    Wik and I had a quick chat today and she's on Islay having fun.

    OH and family getting stuff sorted. Flight booked for next week - I'm going down alone, kids staying here as too much on - conscripting brother in for a couple days.

    Car seems to be being silly - might be timing belt so need get it looked at pronto.

    More money

    *sigh*

    On the up sie there are a fair few birthday girls around this week coming :)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:

    Which day are you Pippi? I'm laying claim to Wednesday :D :j :j

    Glad to hear you've got out in the garden today :T Pah to stupid car - they're never cooperative are they?? :( But hooray to 16 ebay sales! :j :j Well done you! :j :j

    Hope you've managed to get *some* work done, you know, I bet what you're writing is better than you think it is :o I know mine generally was when I was in the middle of it and thought it was all rubbish :o xxx Let us know if there's anything we can do xxx

    No gardening here, but I have done about 2.5 hours of work left over from the other day, feeling a little less panicky about going back to work tomorrow now! :T And new boss woman is back from hols (she came back with a stomach bug last week, and thought she might have been off this week too, but apparently not), so all going to be busy this week - especially as I'm only in for 2 days :D

    Thinking of you xxx

    This is certainly the week for birthdays isn't it. Funny how you all congregate in one place :) I have often found it funny that most of my are either Sagittarius, Leo or Taurus (and my family too). I wonder if there is anything in that. I am not religious but I do sometimes lean to the spooky (what comes of a Mum and Nan who could both read tealeaves, do tarot and hear funny voices - well according to them). You are doing really well with everything you have on the go so I am not surprised that you cant always focus. Lots of wishes winging their way to you.

    It'll probably be on in the pub, like all good boxing matches...

    Ooh another person who is a bit excited! Me too! I am not particularly anti- or pro- royal but I love pomp and splendour :D
