    I know how you feel, I was off for 7 weeks and didn't go back on phased return just jumped straight back into work (I didn't have any option!!) my pay was being reduced to SSP as I only get paid for 1 month sick at full rate....pretty pants really....

    but I felt really exhausted for the first few days and then soon got back into the swing of things and then it felt that I had never been off....

    Well done on the bargain flowers...I do love them myself :) ..must drop hints for OH to buy some flowers again soon....lol the last one's he bought were a dozen red roses on Valentines Day which is also my birthday so is probably still getting over the shock of that !! ;)

    Hope you don't feel as tired today....:)

    Ha ha!! you are definitely due some more flowers :):)

    that must have been awful going straight back to work full time, i honestly dont think i could have done it. thankfully work have been really good with me. off today and then will be doing weds and fri and next weekk tues thurs sat and sun . hopefully ill be back to full time soon. :D you must have been totally exhausted - im bad enough after one day!!

    have a good day BF xx

    I threw away loads of old silver earrings/necklace as I didn't think that they would be worth anything :wall:

    BF - hope you hear something about the house soon, good news on the divorce front though:D

    Tried the caps lock thing but not working:mad: - anyone got any ideas? my pound sign is the hash sign and my hash sign is a little line and my little line sign is still a little line!!

    Just spent 18.42 on postage for 12 ebay parcels - think i have done okay with the postage prices i met.

    not including postage charges i have made 83.55:D:D - just waiting on payment for one (8 pound)

    It is excellent news ...lol my solicitor said that his would have told him that if he insisted on pursuing the matter further then he would need to pay £500 on account and then a minimum of £129.00 + an hour so that would have had something to do with it....just wish he had agreed it in the first place instead of dragging it on and costing me so far £850:eek: but the end is in sight :T well with that chapter anyways....:rotfl:

    Have you tried switching it off and back on again....make sure that the F lock isn't locked on/off - opposite of what it is now...?? other that not dunno !??!?! :(
