    Oh my goodness, I'm so tired. Blah. Work is very hard at the moment - children are testing my patience and seeing how far they can go. Went to bed at 8pm yesterday and may well have to do the same tonight :(

    Bet you did that too when you got a new teacher!;)

    The kittens are very cute, but very shy. Won't come anywhere near us still, though they will come out from under the sofa so it's a step in the right direction! Frustrating as I could do with a cuddle tonight. Definitely don't like Thursdays :(

    Awwwww (((hugs))) think you said that last week too so it does seem to be your worst day :( Still - at least you've always only got 1 day left after it - even if it is carp each week ... not sure if that helps or not :o

    The kittens will come around and it's great that they're coming out already :D I bet it doesn't take long.

    I can't remember how long it took Smudge to come near me but it was quite a while .... he'd venture to the doorway of the lounge and if I moved / looked at him or anything - he'd be off again!

    Oh m goodness, I'm so glad it's the weekend. So, so shattered.

    It's payday today, so I've paid another £100 off the mortgage, and put £200 into the EF.

    Don't think I'll be doing much tonight.... can't be bothered :o

    Thanks for the tip poohbear - I shall try! :)

    So, today I need to go food shopping, but that's probably it. It's snowed again overnight, so I'm waiting a bit longer to venture out, so that hopefully the roads and the car park at Mr Ms is clear :)

    I'm going to have a read through a couple of cookbooks in a minute and try a new recipe this week, maybe? :o we're getting stuck in a rut with our meals at the moment...

    Very cute :D they're hiding at the moment - don't seem to be in the mood to explore today - but they're definitely getting braver every day :) by next weekend, I may even have been able to stroke one!

    I've been food shopping and put petrol in the car for work this week. I can't be bothered to do anything else today, it's far too cold :(
