    Surely Mr MWC would not mind you taking one? In return for the harissa? :D

    Hope you feel better tomorrow!

    Recovery is far too slow for my liking :( As my boss wasn't expecting to see me until after the course of antibiotics had finished, I've been taking advantage by going in a bit late and finishing a bit early :)

    Too be fair to Mr MWC, I have already eaten my share of the chocolate :o I'm having a gin instead :p

    Chicken-sitters organised, relaxation package booked at spa for Monday afternoon, cake baked for aunt and some ironing done. Tomorrow evening I'll just need to buy chicken treats on the way home and pack my suitcase. It'll be an early start on Friday morning :eek:

    Have a fabulous time :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I'm having a bit of a shocker today...

    Lovely (& free!) 3-course lunch BUT something I've eaten has disagreed with my guts... :(

    My crown has fallen out - after the dentist had closed of course... :(

    Need to stop feeling sorry for myself now and start packing!!!

    I’ve packed my dental insurance paperwork just in case it causes me any problems (other than being annoying, it’s okay at the moment).

    Looking forward to a nap on the plane. It was an early start but at least I got across London before the rush hour craziness :T
