    Eggs IN 5
    Eggs OUT 12 (2 boxes sold for £2.50)

    Sleeps until holiday 1 :j
    Suitcases packed 0 :eek:
    Work e-mails left to send 1 :(

    OK so I need a plan of action... before 10:00 tomorrow I need to:

    [STRIKE]Phone aunt in Toronto[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Send e-mail to US-based colleague so that they can reply today[/STRIKE]
    Make sloe gin
    Pack suitcase
    [STRIKE]Pay credit card bills[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Make MOP[/STRIKE]
    Clean chicken coop
    Leave a note for the chicken-sitters

    And then I can relax :T

    I can safely say that over the last few weeks, your diary has made me feel completely weary and definitely rather envious of your glorious HM products ;)

    Have a fab time away

    I hope you don't really take any ironing with you :rotfl:

    These look truly fab and make me wish I could find the time to learn to knit

    Thanks Tilly

    It's usually the other way round - you make me feel weary and very disorganised!

    Yes, I'm afraid to say that I am taking ironing and dirty washing :o

    Have a great time. I hope your suitcase is not searched at Toronto airport :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I managed to "smuggle" the Christmas puddings into Canada :D

    Having a lovely time catching up with friends & family although I do have a nasty sore throat :(

    Last night we went to Nuit Blanche an all night contemporary art festival - most of it went way over my head :rotfl:
