    hi everyone :hello:

    nothing to report here, except that my car broke down earlier :( I thought at first it was the alternator :eek: but turned out to be the main fuse thingy in the boot was unplugged - can only assume that DH knocked it when he transported the wardrobe a couple of weeks back, and it just worked loose. Luckily R*C man was really good, and kept looking for the problem, even when the car seemed to start up ok again. Ugh.. got thoroughly cold though, and only just warming up. So that's a couple of hours lost from my day, but v luckily no new alternator required!!

    On the plus side, my veggie seeds & pototoes have arrived :T:T

    Am wondering how shysarah's day went..

    Flying.. um.. WM x 1, TD x 1, and the dailies and that's it :o:o

    hope everyone is ok? Am planning a very early night tonight. If my light is still green after 9.30pm tell me to go to bed!! :p

    oooo and I keep meaning to say hello :wave: to all the newbies!!

    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

    Pipen what a sweetheart!!

    Funny day, left home at 7.30am at school til 11ish, dash home to drs for blood test at 11.20, quick change of clothes (dressed up for world book day) off to a course for 12.30, dashed to Rainbows for 4.45 (shame, the course was excellent, for once and hadn't finished so I missed the end of it :( ) then took DD straight to work for a night shift then home just after 8

    am shattered
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
