    Riiiiiiiiiight, time to confess. I have not done a thing in the house today.

    I will be catching up with you all tomorrow though. Why am I more tired doing nothing than I am when I have worked a shift in this house?

    Fuddle you are not on your own.. I've forced myself to vacuum the food off the rug that Dot sprinkled last night and washed my duvet cover so it can go back on the bed tonight but nothing else has been done.. I am such a slob!

    Opto-mom.. I can be optimistic enough for us both.. I'll get quietly excited.. lol

    Best go chuck some spudatoes in for dinner.

    Dusty - have you heard from DS on how his interview has gone? My DS should be on his way back to Kings Cross to get his train home. No word from him, though ........

    It's at 6pm. Your DS and mine could well have passed each other without knowing :cool: although I did tell mine the journey was easier if he changed at FP rather than KX but whether that advice is being taken who knows ;)

    Doing really well with my Governor paperwork, it is not completely done but better than it has been in a long while so I want to challenge myself to keep at it until it is done (possible by Sunday).

    Dinner and mog feeding time I think.
