Evening all

Glad to see lots of you doing so well. had a nice time in London with DS2&3. Think I shall order the sofa we saw today, just trying to choose the colour.

Flying, I've washed the cat bedding. Got a sore throat tonight so I'm only going to wash up and load the DW, tomorrow is another day. I may eat a paperwork frog or two.

mrs-moneypenny

just done a tip run so all the mdf is now in the recycling bin there along with the mirrors and the plastic bits. drive looks much better for it.

decluttered a filling and 1/2 a back tooth earlier so need to be on phone to dentist in the morning.

DD2 has got her books up on the shelf.. she has a huge pile of clothes to sort now. I need to wash the foam inserts from the car seats as they are gross so I'll do those in a minute.

I'll make a cuppa and get the WM on and hopefully my fidgets will have passed.. I really dislike being fidgety and restless.

In the end I didn't make a start on our bedroom, but now have the beginnings of a spreadsheet to track debt repayments, including the mortgage and with (provisional) debt free/mortgage free dates. The bank loan should be gone by the end of this year, the car early in 2015 and the mortgage sometime in 2016, all being well. :j

I also have a hair appointment on Saturday and made corned beef hash with my best ever attempt at dumplings.

Macpep - thank you for that. I've been looking at them and wondering which might be best.
Valli - glad you're feeling better.
TMD - on a roll. :T
Mrs Moneypenny - can I be a member of SABLE too? I have so much wool, material, cross stitching and card making supplies! LOL.

Well, I did have a coffee in W***rose. It hardly seemed like work, sitting discussing relevant knowledge evidence over a coffee.

I now have only 8 (:eek:) observations to voice record now but won't be doing that tomorrow. Office day tomorrow and the company pays for breakfast for everyone in the canteen, then company meeting, then employee forum, then team meetings, then we get the opportunity to catch up on any photocopying we need for the next week and I can finish "spagging" work to upload and reference for learners. I enjoy office days because we don't have to go in every day. We get chance to catch up with the rest of the team too.
