    Sleep seems to be evading me at the moment, I've had two nights and not a lot of sleep and am feeling it :( work was hard today; lacked patience and was running things after school til 5 so not let up either.

    Is it not Friday? :o

    It's finally the weekend :j :j

    The weather is absolutely awful here today - it's been chucking it down most of it, very grey and miserable :( where's the sun gone?

    I've been enjoying blogging and reading other blogs :) there's so many to choose from! I've got 5 blogs posted so far, and another one scheduled to post tomorrow morning. It's been more work than I thought, but that's because I want it to be perfect :o feel free to have a nose, and post some comments so I don't feel so lonely ;)

    Not much planned for this weekend - I need to do some food shopping but I don't really want to venture out anywhere today, so that'll probably end up being tomorrow.

    Just going to have a catch up on the diaries here, plus make a cuppa in time for the BGT final :)

    The sun appears to be down here, sorry! But in typical Cornish style, it's so blooming windy you can't appreciate it :eek:

    Just to say hope you get a restful weekend and happy blogging, S*F, I enjoy that too (when I get the chance, as you say, it takes up more time than you'd think)!

    Am sure you'll enjoy Lion King ... not my cup of tea but my mum loves it so much she's taken every single grandchild to see it (on separate occasions) just so she has an excuse to keep going back!

    Oh and total agreement here, this week was long and painful all round!

    Hope you get a good night tonight x

    Does anyone else think this week is going so slowly...? I can't believe there's still a day to go!

    I've been enjoying the sunshine and being in the garden and outside in general. We have so much to do with the garden but it's a slow and steady process. It's definitely looking better though! I'm keep my eye out for some nice sun loungers to buy so we can spend some time sat out there :)

    I've also been enjoying taking some more photos with my camera - I love taking photos but often forget about it as a hobby; I'm trying to do more things for me and this is definitely one of them. I'm going to do a post on Sunday on my blog with some of my new photos :)

    Oh, and in MSE news, I've had NSDs all week :)

    I've found this week weird, but not necessarily slow ... all week it's felt like I have plenty of time in hand but now, as you say, just one more day to go and I realise that things have been really slow in coming together (workwise) but the time has whizzed by.

    Well done on you NSDs, that's excellent!
