I have some good news to share. I have been working really hard with my counsellor and we have reached a decision today. I am returning to work!!
I am ever so scared and anxious but if all goes to plan I should begin working again on 28th Feb.

Oh, that's excellent news! (((HUG))) You'll be fine, I'm sure - as with many things, the anticipation will be worse than the actual thing, iyswim.:o
Please remind us the Friday before, so that I can send appropriate vibes.;)

Nearly done for the day; I think all the "sort a box" type tasks for the next 3 months will be grabbing a crate, emptying it completely, and getting all the wood dust residue out of everything.:D

right...have booked 1 week in Turkey in June.
Have booked 3 nights in Marbella in December for my 50th birthday:eek:
I need to start ebaying like a lunatic now to pay for them both.

Nice one! Make sure you tell me all about Turkey when you get back. I know Marbella very well and you will have a fabulous time!

Still ironing - 5 mins until school run....

2. Hirer a hitman

Ladies, ladies! The way to do this (and get away with it) is to swap targets SO LIT you get the lowdown on Mr pjjjx and Pjjjx locks on mr LIT - get it? That way neither of you have any connection to the target and that's what'll make the crime harder to solve

(I once disclosed this cunning plan to a cute, but not available bloke, who looked at me wide-eyed saying 'you've really thought this through':rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)



oh - bait got rejected -

onwards and upwards - as I overheard someone say this morning - see them clouuds (pointing upwards) well it's sunshine and blue sky above them

and so it is.

I would like to do something on Friday to mark Diva's ceremony - too far to travel maybe we can re-light candles on Friday? Any other ideas?

Thanks for the e bay heads up Dusty (goes to photgraph curtains)

Happy birthday Natty

Thanks for the standby girls...

Shysarah, that's great news! I'm sure you'll be just fine and keep remembering your counsellor wouldn't have suggested it if she didn't think you were ready ((hugs)). Have a lovely weekend away!

Maxonian, you lucky thing having 2 lovely breaks like that. I'm green with envy lol!

Natty, have a lovely birthday party at your friends!

Mumto5, oh dear, hope your hand is OK - I wonder why that happened? Sorry, I'm sure you've said, but when is DH's 50th?

Crafty, have a lovely break!

Pigpen, good luck in the big scarey world outside!

Love to Toots and Lady L xx


Flying wise, my 30 mins slightly over-ran - I've only just got off the sofa cos I nodded off . I knitted for 20 mins; then though I'm so tired I'm just going to lie down for a bit. The dog jumped up, we snuggled up and bam! Feel better for it mind you.

OK, 10 mins to school run - where does the time go?

That's a lovely idea... I see a few people have been going back and relighting, obviously not wanting them to go out.

Work meetings done. Food shopping done. Want to go back to bed but have lots of work to do

I will light my candle as soon as I've flown around the LR - put it off so far today and need to make a start

So far today (on a rare day off) - shopping done, dog tidied up and groomed and collected, long walk with dog, call in to vets for bits and bobs for dog, WM x 2, lunch and rest

Better find some kind of list now
