    2 hours to get to work - and a mini rant - is my BRIGHT BLUE car actually completely invisible? Some idiot pulled put of a petrol station without looking and literally missed me by millimetres, and would have hit me if I hadnt already started to break as I saw him coming fast and thought "hmm, I wonder if he's seen me.... NO HE HASN'T ARREFGGHHH"

    Flying wise, going to be all this evening, although I am maintaining standards at work. OH slowly getting used to the new order. Yes home sick today, hopefully he might manage to get the laundry out on the line. Can't have pigs flying round us as it's restricted military airspace, so have fingers crossed!

    Hugs to all who need them, it's a lovely day to boost the soul this morning...

    Morning all, grey, damp and miserable here this morning. :(
    Kids all decluttered to school and Rhys will be getting a scrub shortly. Few messages to do in town and then i'll get on with some stuff in the house.
    So tired today and still not sleeping right. :mad:

    Dw been loaded, need to sort the washing machine out and clear Rhys's toys up from the livingroom before i break my neck. :eek:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all, hope everyone is ok today.
    Jojo, thinking of you this morning, hope everything goes ok and the results are good. :)
    The sun is shining here in south London. I walk a mile and a bit to school and the same back. The 'and back' bit is uphill, and I am a large 7.5 months pregnant. It's taking longer than usual!! :D
    Right another glass of water, a cup of tea, and then on with it!
