    You're mad! I'm struggling to convince myself to get out of bed even though I need to clear up, have breakfast, shower, dress and pack before 8 as i have to leave then for my sports massage appointment and am then heading off for the weekend. I have two conference calls this morning but have arranged for ex to deal with them so he can dial me in on my mobile. Have to get to my parents in time to get set up for my first client call this afternoon. So I really need to get up and get on with things...

    Hope the job applications are successful!

    Morning All

    Are you out of bed now greenbee?


    Just about to get dressed and find my purple out. Kids are off school today so I need to take them to my parents before I go to work.


    Thinking of LL and Ian today - hope all goes well and it's a massive celebration of Diva's life.


    Have a good day all


    Hugs

    Morning

    Just nipping in to post my support for Ian, Diva and everyone who knew her. I hope you manage to find some time to smile about the good times even though it is so sad just now.

    No flying this morning - will be off to a localish Colliery Museum that has a hands-on exhibition on the history of gaming - lots of console games to play from way back - pacman anyone? DS10 delighted. Going with friend and DD25 - he can play silly games, we can play drinking coffee and gossiping - win win
