    Pippi, they're wonderful, their marvelous they're fandabbydozie

    hope everyone is doing well, i'm uber busy at work, started my list of essential jobs and there's 17 of them and some will take days! Also still waiting to find out when the changes are going to me made to my section, as far as we know the decisions were made yesterday, just waiting for the powers that be to let the rest of us know.
  • The windows are fab :)

    It's been a bit chillier the last few days too hasn't it - I guess you're feeling the benefit now?

    Fingers crossed that the changes at work won't affect you too badly. Awful knowing that decisions have been made but not knowing what they are though, isn't it. :(

    When are you off to the Outlaws?

    EH it's suddenly hit me that not only is it Thursday today (when did that happen?) but that we go to the outlaws on saturday! OH's made no mention of it at all which is a little strange.
    ended up with another two huge jobs today one for four weeks and another for probably 6 weeks. Shame about the other 20 which are on my list and are just as important. Maybe i shouldn't have cancelled my 'elliminate stress from your life' workshop. Truth be told i think i've got to stress and said ha take that and moved beyond into the totally calm, que sera zone. Long may it continue.
