    You're a cheeky toe-rag Shrimpy! And it's completely not true that I'm a chatterbox! ;) Back at work tomorrow so normal service shall return! :)

    Glad to see you popping in Tete, miss you! Is there light at the end of the work tunnel?

    When are you off on your adventures Achers? So cool! :)

    For any people wanting to see pictures of the presents I've been banging on about you can see my record bowls here and my Kindle covers here :D

    Wow! These are great!

    Since Tete is too 'busy' to make my R2D2 hat?! :p

  • Eep, sorry I got you confused Archers and Star!! :o:o It's because you both appeared around the same time and both have 'ar' in your names! Congrats to YOU Star, and massive jealous stares at Archers!

    No light at all Birdie, in fact all I can see is it getting worse and worse as more and more people enrol. It's like I'm juggling away, just about managing to keep all the balls in the air, and someone keeps throwing more and more into the mix :( I tell you what if voluntary redundancy gets offered again I'm off like. Wish I'd had a crystal ball six months ago to see what the role would turn into. I'm getting poorly today and I blame it squarely on work.

    Off to have a look at your wares :)

    I didn't bother to research it TBH, just assumed they were 'cooked' so chucked them in the oven and hoped for the best! :o I'm pleased with everything, looking forward to giving them away and showing off my homemade pressies! :)

  • Haha Tete, I was going to say I agree Dylan's a lovely name but I don't deserve any credit! How sucky about work, hope you don't feel too rubbish. Did loads of people get made redundant and you had to pick up the slack? Really hope things calm down :(

    Awesome gifts Birdie! Love the kindle case, I hope you can fill your one soon! I'm going mid Feb in time for Rio carnival, can't wait :D Going with my bf Dinah, not that he's overly enthusiastic but he has nothing better to do then, think he'll be chirpier when his masters gets handed in. I want to plan!

    Congratulations Starnac! Love the name :) Hope you're both well.

    And congratulations on graduating Ruby! :beer:
    Archers I have a Flip, it's really good actually. I'm definitely taking it with me. How exciting that you've made plans too! Where are you going for and how long etc? I can't wait to get some independence back.

    Glad the dentist was fairly quick and painless Dinah. Well done on getting rid of some cookbooks too! I have about 80 now (:eek:) and I know I should get rid of some but I can't bring myself to do it!

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you CMD!

    Tete you sound stressed :( Is this your normal workload now or is there someone you can talk to about it? It's not good if work is making you ill.

    I am immensely busy. 3 days to go now and I still have loads of last minute things to sort out. People who have been travelling - any must take things?!

    Not half, I'm like the walking dead. I'm starting to see how people can become so sociopathic they end up going on a rampage! (I wouldn't get the threadies though :))

    That's sweet, most sociopaths are nowhere near as thoughtful :D
