    Don't worry. Just think it could be so much worse. This month, I'll (barring a miracle) be kicking into touch a system we've spent close to half a million on.

    Oh dear...

    Yes I hope you aren't worrying Mr Z - up at 4am. That's for serious insomniacs.

    Well seems that although I haven't done something I should have done it is going to have limited in terms of impact...so that's a relief. The lesson for me. Don't put off doing what you don't understand...just ask....ask again.....ask again ....and keep asking until someone gives you a satisfactory answer. Workload from next week looks fairly horrific :eek::eek::eek:

    NSDs going well. Cutting milk and petrol out of the equation have made things much more doable.

    Right chappies...tired so must go home to bed once I've reported my NSD:D.

    p.s. Thank you Beanie

    No, just Christmas playing havoc with sleep patterns.

    That's the crux of it. Sometimes nobody else knows either.

    For those that like porridge with a touch of sweetness it is lovely and very generous portions especially compared to the one from the 'kicking k' company. You look in the pot and have to go on a hunter gathering expedition just to find it.

    I follow the principle of only buyi.g half price porridge these dsys but I do love that brand.
