    Well done on the curtains LT.

    I have just crept on on my lunch hour (also my first full day back as I have only been doing mornings until now...I'm shattered and could quite easily go home now)

    Hope you get Bband etc sorted for Thursday

    Catch up soon

    Ha ha, well done all you people making good use of your lunch breaks!

    LT, this is bound to be a busy time and we'll let you off posting on everyone's diary at least until you have your home internet sorted out. Don't do anything rash like unpacking boxes or getting the plates into the cupboards until you've updated us fully, though!

    you're not wrong Taxi, it's been so hard not being able to check my bank accounts.

    well we're half able to communicate with the wider world - we have a telephone, but for some reason only know to plusnet they cancelled the b/band order so we're still awaiting that connection, could be any time from wed to fri this week. Think i will have to send their customer services a little letter and a bill for psychological trauma!

    hope everyone is well and you had good weekends, and all the easter choccy has now been eaten.

    fingers crossed it will be Taxi.

    Got some more appointments through to go to Luton at the end of the month, thankfully they're one after the other and in the afternoon so i can drive down in the morning and finally learn my way there. I wasn't too bad until towards the end when the satnav lady and myself had a bit of a spat.

    Hi Lemon
    Glad to hear you are settling in. Hopefully it will be no time at all that you feel as though you have been there for years. :)

    strangely enough we already feel like we've been there for years lol.
    we still keep finding little 'treasures' though, recently it was that they've appeared to woodchip the ceiling in some rooms.
