    Glad to hear your earache is improving SF, not a nice thing to have :( A sure sign that you are run down...there are loads of bugs about atm too...all this damp weather :mad::mad::mad:

    Enjoy your last week...then really enjoy your summer holiday...you deserve it!! Do you have to do some prep for your new job over the summer? If not, then make the most of the break.

    Take care xx

    Thanks Keiss - I know I'm feeling a bit worn down, I always do at the end of term. Still deaf in that ear, but it's not as painful :) I always seem to get ill at the start of the holidays! My new job doesn't start until January :( so no prep for me as such, which means I intend to relax :D

    So, Tuesday! :j one of my friends is graduating today - I'm so proud of her :D

    Hoping today to be a NSD as I've brought lunch with me and don't need petrol. Nothing exciting today - I've not been put on cover :j - so just plodding along :) I'll check online banking to see if I can transfer any more money across to savings.

    Me and DH were looking at houses online last night - there's a gorgeous one in the right place just outside our budget, but we're going to book in with the bank and see about a mortgage soon :j it's all exciting! I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.... :o
