    A cheeky glass of red is being happily consumed.....:D The children have very big bedrooms so you can imagine just how bad DS had let his get.....as far as he was concerned there was "plenty of room".........!

  • Mine is the same. So long as you can walk to the bed it is tidy so far as he is concerned :rotfl:. We disagree on this needless to say. I go by the smell emanating from it :rotfl:

    Or in my son's case, as long as you can sort of pole vault your way to the bed, it is fine.....I think walking across that room would have been somewhat optimistic!

    Crappy night's sleep last night - largely due to the heat and mugginess I guess.....really not great, and feel very sluggish as a result this morning. :(

    Oh well......c'est la vie. Have a good day everyone x

    Hypno, not sure if you know that rosemary oil is very good at helping you stay/feel alert. I confess to keeping some in the ashtray of the car for when I'm feeling tired driving and it really does work. Sometimes if I hit that 'wall' in the office I put some on my wrists. Have a good day.

    Thank you lucielle - that is definitely worth a try. I will head to Neals Yard at lunchtime!

    I did manage (somehow) to bypass Nero this morning......and have transferred money to the Rome pot, but boy was it a toughie to do today!!

    Am impressed you bypassed Nero feeling like that! Did you put money in the Rome put BEFORE work, so if you bought coffee you'd have to take it back out again?? (how bad would that feel! :eek:)

    Thanks for the rosemary tip Lucielle - might be needing that myself!

    No, I did it as soon as I got to my desk. Although I will admit that sometimes I transfer over my lunch money before lunchtime to help encourage me to open a tin of soup instead!

    Have brought in roast beef sandwiches and some cheesecake today, so will def be moving money to the travel pot in a few hours time :A

    I do feel shockingly tired - I soooo need my holiday, that is for sure!

    Picked up some B0dy Sh0p total energy pulse point balm in the last big sale - it's active ingredient is oil of bergamont - and suprisingly it actually works!!! - Have been wondering if the straight oil might do the trick as well? Goodness knows that by 3 pm I need all the help I can get to make it to the end of the day!

    Sometimes I wonder if giving up the second cup of coffee in the day was a wise decision!!!:rotfl:
