    Been pouring with rain here for a couple of hours - good news for neighbours who are laying a heap of turf in their front garden. Our pond will get a good top up too.

    Just doing a few more paperwork bits and then off to bed.

    Well, I have got a sofa bed off of Ebay :j Just need to arrange pick up now. It's about an hour away, so not too bad. Not sure when DH is around this week though :o The only thing I do know is that we are out Wednesday!! :j Car park is booked :)

    So at least the evening hasn't been a complete wipe out. I think I may take a basket of laundry upstairs to sort in a mo. DD1 (who is home this weekend from Uni 'til Tuesday, when she is going back to pack before coming back for 3 months on Thursday!) has agreed that we don't need to iron any of her stuff, and the basket is mainly her stuff :T

    Bit of Family Guy first, then I am off.

    Night night, and hugs and spoons to those that need them.

    Trying to get motivated ready for work tomorrow, it's not going well :D

    Have spent the last hour eating a very big frog, I am £120 adrift and 3 statements missing but I have ordered the statements and hopefully that will solve the problem (I do hope so, these accounts were due in JANUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

    Tomorrow I will be teaching something but I am not sure what as I have done no prep...at all...so sack me!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
