    mmmm I hope she's OK - I had a quick peak at her diary but she's not updated it for ages

    When we sort out a date, I'll drop her a text and see if she wants to come

    Hi Rising,

    Hope works going well. How's the tiredness?

    I started night school tonight...singing group :eek: sore throat now and still tone deaf but a good break from the grind.

    Take care,
    KJ

    So .... new bank card's arrived :D and works!:j

    KissJenn will pop round some time over the weekend ..... not looked at (boring but important for planning!) things like the weather as yet!

    Beanielou - 1st Saturday in November any good for you? (KissJenn fancy joining us - I could pick you up on the way past!)

    Although I'm back to FT this week (OMG it's felt like it was never going to end!) 3/4 of Sept has still been on reduced hours so wages still rather :o this month

    End Oct pay will be my 1st full salary :j:j

    Not got a lot planned - took Maisie to the beach for a paddle. There were loads of people about to go out in their kyacks (sp?) - just as it was about to get dark :eek: Bet it's pretty cool tho' - being out on the water in the pitch black (I love the dark!) and being able to see all the lights of the town .....
