Hi all
Congrats to all those getting married!
Today I have done everything I said I would on my earlier post...and that's a small miracle in itself! I am particularly pleased at having a NSD..I was waiting for a colleague in a shopping centre for example. Instead of popping into the beckoning H@bbs or LKB or Foyles, that lovely bookshop, I sat on a bench and soaked up the sunshine..which was free!
only 1 egg tho...maybe the girls will do better tomorrow!

Congratulations Yargo on the payout and becoming debt free!!!!!! WAHOOOOOO!!!!!
I did no cleaning last night. OH's brother had an op yesterday morning, so we had a Skype call with his Mum to discuss that, and other issues with the brother. All a bit heavy, and left OH feeling quite down, so I was busy giving hugs and support instead.
Hope everyone is well!

I don't blame you! I hate fruit cake! Your wedding cake sounds super yummy! If I was there, I'd be trying to sneak extra pieces into my bag!February wins: Theatre tickets0 -
Just flying back for a quick lunchtime update!!
KerryPolka - had a look at your blog yesterday and it's really good, was particularly impressed with your wardrobe - I often have that 'is this too casual for work' worry and think I might need to upgrade my work wardrobe completely seperate to my 'casual' wardrobe!
Kx
Aww, thank you very kindly! I am a giant fan of keeping work clothes apart as I said - I started with the goal of making my work clothes last longer, but now the most impressive part for me is the instant brain switch that happens when I take off my office dress and put on my jeans. It's like magic de-stress! :beer:Since March 2012:
