My afternoon off has been a bit of a dead loss :mad:
Spent half of it phoning round my European suppliers and asking if they could do a difficult something in an impossible time frame for one of my US colleagues who has taken his eye off the ball and dropped it... It's not looking too good at the moment
I also had to pop to the vets to pick up some more antibiotics for Miss B as they hadn't given me enough - she's much improved today- and to the PO to post a RM survey letter
Eggs IN 6
Eggs OUT 11 (9 sold for £2.50, 2 poached for Mr MWC's breakfast)

How is Miss B/MWC feeling today? The antibiotics certainly seem to be kicking in.

She's looking much better Natty
She put up a real struggle last night when we gave her the antibiotics (she spat out 1/2 the dose)
I've already decided not to dose her this morning and will double dose tonight (the vet said it was ok to do this with this antibiotic)Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
