    Basically at work we are losing a team member with no idea when they'll be replaced as everything takes forever. Plus we are gaining not only their work but some extra bits as well. And it's already manically busy!

    That’s not good news at all. Why do the powers that be let things get in such a mess? :mad:

    Still it must be nice to have the plastering all done and dusted now. At least you can keep the doors shut and not have an absconding dog! :)

    We're not going away again until next April debs. I'll make sure I get a deal before I buy it.

    Got a frantic phone call from Mr SA today, saying he'd had a terrible accident. The accident was in reality him dropping something on his big toe!!!! His toe is sore and bruised and he's managed to convince himself it's broken. Honestly the fuss he's making is unbelievable!

    I've been to the gym today, had NSD 7/15 and AFD 5 - so a pretty boring day for me really.

    Oh dear poor Mr SA must have scared himself, lucky it's not broken.
