    Morning all,

    Day off today.

    I've got quite a bit of running round to do....docs to pick up scrip - MrT for bits and to get scrip, pet place for cat stuff.
    DH wants me to ring about getting cavity wall insulation done, I have to send a few emails, THEN I can start on the housework.

    Back later.....

    ETA: HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUILLION
    Yesterday is history
    Tomorrow is a mystery
    Today is a gift
    That's why we call it 'The Present'

    Lots to do today. A large spanner was thrown in the works last night when DD2 gave herself a haircut. Older flyers may remember she's the one with Trichtillomania (hair pulling). She's taken a whole side off above and well behind her ear. I am beyond upset. I can't believe kids safety scissors can do so much damage. I have an appointment at the hairdressers at 9.30am. DS1 is taking DS3 to school.

    I anticipate getting to work around 10.15 then I'll be there I pick up the littlies. DH is away from 6am today until Friday evening.

    On a more cheerful note I have booked us a lovely cottage in Dorset for half term. The big uns are uninpressed but DH has a hard 6 weeks coming up having to make several people redundant and he will need the break.

    HH me time I plan to walk into the village on my break, take some unwanted medication in to the pharmacy for disposal, and stop off in the coffee shop for a coffee and a chat :)

    Didn't get up quite as early as yesterday, but still in time to have breakfast, put away some clothes that have been cluttering up the bedroom, unhook the bin from the gate before it confused the binmen ;), hoover and wash all the downstairs floors except the utility room and have a shower.

    Hopefully I can get myself up to date today, and organised for going into the office tomorrow (including making a packed lunch and making sure supper is ready to go when we get back, as our meeting is at the end of the day, and we'll be hitting rush hour on the way home).

    Suppose I should do some work now :p

    Really busy day, so far I've only dealt with some community project emails and read some governing emails.

    At school from 4:15 until 6pm with parents evening and then back at 7pm for governors meeting so I need to get tea organised.

    If you see me back on here before midday shout at me!
