    Evening all,

    Finally, life has slowed down slightly so Ive had a chance to browse and post !

    LPP - thanks for starting the thread
    La E - hugs for your dog
    Pixie - hope the car isn't too expensive
    Ziggy - hugs Hun
    Determined - cheer up Hun

    I've not been up to much recently, work has been crazily busy and I'm having my first holiday since Christmas (apart from study leave)

    I ended up in tears on Friday as due to tiredness, stressed out-ness and panicking as I am on holiday and had to clear my desk (thankfully I took myself off to the loos but spent the rest of the day with attractive red eyes :o )

    So due to a combination of workload, the time I am commuting and the possibity of my rail fare going up 6-10% in January, I'm thinking of leaving

    I spent yesterday doing nothing - heaven !!!
    But did manage to
    • Check bank account
    • Updated budget spreadsheet
    • Moved pennies to savings account

    Today I've been more productive :D

    So I have......
    • Meals at home
    • Drove 30 miles to Ikea in Southampton and got stuck in the worst traffic both there and back - averaged 50 mph so cheapish and even better as hubby paid for petrol
    • Used my aa Prepaid card to pay for the things we bought - aiming on getting a lot of cash back towards my membership
    • Researched where I could get my college textbooks cheap - i'd bought them through w&terstones but they are taking ages to deliver
    • I need to look at where I can sell my aat level 2 books
    • I need to update my cv and apply for a job in hometown

    I think that is about it

    Take care all

    Hi everyone,

    Perni - yip only affects dogs. Cats can get another similar virus but I don't think they can catch it from dogs or vice versa.

    Thanks for all the well wishes for the little guy. Sounds like he's coming home t tomorrow night :) don't know how I'm going to work tomorrow with excitement about picking him up!

    Dfw-wise today:
    - cleaned the car. No valet for me ;)
    - slow cooked ham and bits that need using up for tea
    - make sandwich for work tomorrow
    - decide what to do with loadsa mushrooms...
    - night in on sofa with hubby

    ziggy hope you're ok and managing to keep yourself busy at this hard time xx

    Just a quick visit tonight

    Thanks girls for all your kind wishes, it means a lot.
    DNMS - Hope you feel brighter soon
    LaE - Great news about your pup
    Perni - Hope you can get this neighbour business sorted.

    Not a great deal managed this weekend and hardly anything DFW - a 200 mile round trip to see mum and unfortunately not a lot I could do but I know that just being there helped her, I still feel a little guilty that I couldnt stay longer but back to work tomorrow and I can try and get back into some kind of routine once little one back to school Wednesday.

    Love you all :A

    Night all, catch you all tomorrow xxx

    I need to have a tidy up and get all my textbooks together but I don't know whether to try there or play - the books are in a really good condition
