    Ah! but will it accommodate a couple bent on mischief?:rotfl:

    LOU: We can all tell from your posts that you are a lovely, lovely person and you have absolutely nothing to apologise for. But I know what it's like, if you have been brought up to be polite you apologise to the person who has just stepped on your foot. You are you, so be proud.

    The Room of Doom is in exactly the same state as it was in this morning, the piles of paperwork are untouched, the ironing is piled up on top of a stack of files and I have absolutely no idea where today has gone.
    I keep telling myself that tomorrow is today's best labour saving device.

    Many apologies, I didn't get on MSE at all over the weekend, and only skimmed today, so won't comment on posts, in case I've misread any.:o Got 'orrible Lupie brainfog, so likelihood of putting my Size 6's in it is high!:D
    So.... pile of High Fives, (((HUGS))) Kleenex, bottles of wine in neat heap on table - help yourselves as needed.:):D

    EXCEPT.... to *wave* to Lou:wave: - when I finally get my non-muzzy head on, I'll read your blog; I'm so foggy at the mo that I'd not do it justice.:(

    OS-wise ...I'm gonna DECLUTTER the rotten CAMRA paperwork. They've overstepped themselves now (I won't bore you with the details) and as far as I'm concerned, they can poke their Beer Scores spreadsheet where the sun don't shine! I've done it for 6 years nearly, they expect miracles when I'm ill, and don't appreciate what I do for them, to they can shove it! So There!!:p:p:p:D *Stamps foot and wishes she hadn't cos it hurt*:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Good luck for the week ahead Lou.

    I went for a run today! So pleased with myself, I am going to do it all over again tomorrow morning AND walk to work (although thats because OH has my car and i want to save money and not get the train)

    Roast for dinner was lovely, chicken carcass picked and l/o meat is in the fridge ready for tomorrow's pasta bake - i want to do chicken, mush room and brocolli (Anyone got a recipe? :) )

    I'm sleepy and lovefilm delivered the first series of only fools and horses. So i think OH and i will be off to bed shortly to watch that! I need to chase up my £15 amazon voucher i get for my lovefilm trial. Thats going towards xmas presents!

  • Evening everyone,

    Well, I took my mum out today and as predicted I'm slumped on the sofa!! Managed to make gammon, new potatoes and egg for tea though - need to iron uniform for tomorrow but will do that just beofre I sling it on and run out the door!! :rotfl:

    Did manage to find a brand new pair of black Next trousers in a CS, still with tags on - were £25 when new, got them for £6.00:rotfl: - and I actually went in to look for a pair of black pants - that never happens to me :j

    Esmf - If its not in the TD it's draped over the dining room furniture!

    Lou - Well done, that sounded relly positive, keep going. xxxx

    To everyone else, hope you have at least some happy, sunny days before winter sets in - but I love winter too, I know, my DH keeps telling me I'm weird. :p

    Huggles

    Jan xxxxx
