    I'm fortunate to work for a large employer with a decent sick policy greenbee, so if I need it I'll be taking it. In reality, it's the 2 hours each way travelling that will get me, rather than the work itself I suspect, and I generally only go to the office 2 days a week, so it may be less than 4 weeks, but I'm not going to feel rushed into going back before I'm ready, and work are pretty good and won't make me feel guilty luckily! :T

    Wowee MG 10/10 :beer::beer::beer:

    I hope you relish these sofas, well done you for not giving up on them - utterly fab-u-lous.

    ((Hugs)) and positive vibes to FW, look after yourself lady.

    Positive vibes to Kittikins for your house to sell swiftly and painlessly.

    Today (and all this week) has been designated "get the house back into order" week. Porch, hallway and under stairs cupboard all decluttered and cleaned - totally wrecked my mop in the process though - I mean it's deed now :eek:.

    Dd's guitar case cover and favourite Mickey Mouse soft toy washed - they were both covered in mould after being stuffed down the back of her bed next to leaking radiator :eek:. Guitar case has come up lovely :T but poor old Mickey still has one mouldy foot and a mouldy hand :rotfl:. Answers on a postcard, please.

    Took a peak in ds's room..... and quickly shut the door, maybe tomorrow - shudders.

    Eeeeh but it lifts my spirits to have a tidy, clean house. Off to feed the hoardes.

    Eta: positive vibes for our two ladies going into hospital - I will also be around to natter to.
  • I'm back - hello everyone - I had a lovely time :)

    Sorry I missed you Greenbee!

    Horace, your story made me cry :( How lovely of your mum and dad though. Good ol' parents!

    MG, your sofas are stunning! Wow wow wow!!!!
  • MG What about you girl!!! The sofa is absolutely gorgeous, and it is hardly believable that you did it within a couple of weeks, for under a tenner. I hope you are now sitting in the chair opposite, admiring your handiwork, and sipping a glass of something alcoholic - you deserve it!!

    Sad? Not on your nelly. If they were mine I'd keep stroking them with sheer delight. That IS sad lol

    Hugs FW.....do you suffer with SAD at all? Feel affected by the shorter days? Sending you positive cheery vibes xx

    Hello all, I am back from holiday now! Didn't really enjoy it as went with grandparents and uncle and uncle was selfish and stayed in bed until lunch time every day. He didn't want to take us out in the car and only did so a couple of times after loud complaints of boredom from me (even though grandparents are elderly and ill, he wouldn't even take them out for a meal!) I only stayed the full week as I didn't want to upset grandparents (or would have got train back) and I had plenty of time to get on with my OU work and read two books and several magazines. I will certainly never go anywhere with him again!

    While I was away, the fridge packed up. OH's Mum bought us a new under counter fridge which I am very grateful for, but I have now lost freezer space as we previously had a fridge freezer. I do have another freezer in the pantry, but it is full, so no more freezing of bargains! OH also managed to move the coal bunker that he previously announced could not be moved!

    Looking foward to seeing the sofas MG, but I am currently on another computer, so don't have the blog link on this one. Haven't had a chance to read back over the thread yet, as my first OU assignment is due in on Thursday and I am busy stressing over that!
