    been awake half the night panicking because I couldn't find my memory sticks (data pens/USB drives)

    I now know they were left at work Weds. I must have had something on my mind;)

    Tis the school xmas fair today; so I won't be around much. Which is a pity, as I have PILES

    of gibble to sort...

    still, nocturnal wandering means that the WM, the TD and the DW all ran overnight on cheap leccy...

    Thank you all so much for the kind words and thoughts. You are stars. May you all continue to shine!

  • Good morning :D

    Had a little lie this morning, then after breakfast took the dog for a walk in the freezing rain & sleet. I have warmed up now :)

    DH has told me that he sent of a job application yesterday (a job I told him about in October! He gets around to things eventually!). So if anyone has some good luck vibes they would be appreciated. he hates his job so much, and it is dragging us all down :(

    Bed stripped & bedding in WM, DH has emptied the DW. I need to attack my case study now, so I think I will do at least 1 HHStudy.
