    Sat twiddling my thumbs in office- yawn.

    Grandma is ok and won't use Arnica, she is sticking to what she knows. Thanks for the suggestions though.

    On the better week front..pah! DD1 fell yesterday as well and was out cold for 15minutes. Seems to be the week for it. She has nothing more than a bruised noggin and is taking a couple of days off work. So it is an interesting week and only Wednesday!:eek:

    On the budget front Mr.B is totally motivated:T,he is beating me on the NSD- although my spends tend to be grocery related i am letting him have a day up on me as he will be spending tomorrow night out of his own budgeted for treat. I received my £25 refer a friend payout:money:Food budget is coming on a treat, as i bargain hunt so all good there.:D

    Things are coming along nicely, now if only nearest and dearest would stop tripping up the week would be a good one.

    Back to slaving away for a living..... x

    That does sound a *very* bad start to the first full week in September. Especially sorry to hear you gran is so poorly .... sounds feisty, mind, but poorly. Thank heavens your cousin's a nurse...

    I've been feeling very weird myself, actually - managed to have a proper long talk about it with work partner, and gave myself a stiff talking to afterwards. It feels like its helped, we'll see.

    Hope everything starts to run a bit smoother for you, Bob.

    Will pop on yours to see if it has helped (((hug)))

    15 minutes is a long time to be out cold.

    Oh dear. Poor flower.

    Hope you are ok.

    Ages ago i tried to fix Porge up with a friend and i had to break friends with her today. How utterly bizarre!

    I feel like a kid again! luckily everyone that knows her understands.

    Anyhooo i am happy and am having an early night. I hope you are rested and have a good day tomorrow and DD doesn't have any big bruises. EEEEK sounds so unpleasant and painful. I bet you have made her a nice cake to cheer her up. EEEK steve#s ringing gotta go.
