    Loisy woisy, where you hiding?

    We miss you :)

    Hope the brood is well, and your spreadsheets are orderly. Imagine how much you can update your sig when you next come on? :eek:

    If you are hiding because of school I completely understand and agree.

    Lois where are you :(.

    My spreadsheet still doesn't say zero :(:(:(:(:(.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Awww. You missed me. Thank you. :)

    Yeah, it's just school. My exam classes are actually working really quite hard, which is good, but means I've got stacks of marking. I've got a fair few social events going on as well.

    I'll try to drop in every once in a while, but if you don't see much of me until my exam classes go off on study leave, then don't panic, I'm probably fine. :)
