  • Hi everyone
    My 1st NSD of the month - still off work although feeling a bit better :)
    Hoping I'll be OK to go back on Thurday.

    All I will say is Thank God it happened now and not the end of March when the speedway is due to start!! :eek:

  • Hi everyone
    NSD number 2 of the month!! :D
    Still off work today but going back tomorrow as long as I feel OK in the morning.
    Had the most awful night sleep last night and have been feeling pretty terrible again today - so an early night is planned so I feel fine for work tomorrow.
    Can't wait to get back to work as I have been getting pretty bored at home!

    Hope you're back at work OK today then and feeling better. Agreed about it being better to be poorly now than in March too! :eek:

  • Hi everyone
    A good day today - I went back to work today after 3 days off sick and was so glad to be back :D:D

    Weather here is awful - Snow this morning, with gale force winds driving rain this evening, avoided a fallen wheelie bin, tree branches falling off and missing my car, and full rubbish bags in the middle of the road that had blown away - an eventful journey home to say the least! :eek:
    Today's spends
    £20 - Work birthday fund
    £10 - Work Christmas Social Fund

    Nothing else to report tonight.

    Not half - CL tweeted earlier that we only have 41 days to go now! :D Apparently the banking is being done on the track now too - not the same sort of banking usually discussed on these boards mind! :rotfl:

    Glad you're better!
