    Thanks SHS. Not sure you'd say that when see me huffing up the fields last 2 days, red faced and exhausted after 6 miles. Need to get my pace back up.

    first day back at work, was very pleasantly surprised, just 115 emails, then needed to reboot after an hour as kept crashing. rebooted and over 600 appeared.. so glad took sweeties with me as seriously needed sugar hits.

    Actively looking for permanent post now, although secondment extended till end of sept.

    HI AJM. First priorities
    Savings
    New driveway
    New Stair Carpet

    Once we've done the Marathon next month and have a little bit of cash but more importantly time and energy (which is completely used up with training) then I' like to work our way through the house decorating and changing carpets. But do a nice job.. not a scrimpy one.

    Very Happy tonight..... its A level results, dd1 got 2 A's and a B!!!
