    Thanks KK and welcome. *waves*.

    DS chose to start the day at 5am with a gargantuan tantrum.

    Also today is the start of our dry January.

    Poor you - did you get any more sleep? :eek:

    I'm having my first dry day in about 10 today, hopefully my sleep returns to normal. On the other hand, the lack of alcohol will no doubt be trumped by the 'oh heck it's work tomorrow!' fairies :rotfl:

    Have a good Sunday :coffee:

    No more sleep. I am right there with you Ed. First day back tomorrow.

    We have been to Church and i have sold two things on ebay and listed two others, including saddle as discussed with Watty.

    Today will be a NSD.
  • Hello,

    Hope our mutual first days back at work go well. I feel like the grizzly child clinging to their mum and not wanting to go in the gate! No doubt it will be fine when I get there but my house is such a nice place to be..... Hope you have a better term this time,

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    I feel just the same Squirrel.
    Hoping your term goes well also. Any top tips gratefully received.
    You never know it might all feel different now.

    3 hours of manual work and walking done.

    I have a generic one in excel (at work) but I don't think that would work on your phone

    What things would you like it to show?

    I thought today was going too well. Got a call to come home since Mum had to have an ambulance called. She seems ok now.
    I am also not too happy that i have chosen to gain six pounds since the summer.
    And i must confess to spending £12.75 on a dvd.
    Day 2 of dry January.

    Edit: just checked LTV and it is unchanged.

    Today i am grateful for
    * mum not being too bad
    * puppy love cuddles
    * the chance to wash ponyplops disgusting rug
    * fatgittas for dinner
    * i realised i had eight tests to compile not six, but managed to have them ready for today.

    Confessions... £56 petrol spends by DH and £42 on dogfud.
    Feel like i have been totally battered by today. However two parcels to pack, two bits of coursework to mark and one version of office to get working.

    Today I am grateful for
    * a colleagues pleasure at being nominated for an award
    * hay
    * an ebay item with 19 watchers
    * Mum feeling better
    * lift share with DH.
