    Hey laughing here (although I've a sore foot and feel crook
    :(

    Men rang me back early doors and said there's been a mix up.

    They are coming Monday afternoon as preplanned by me in an email
    Last week which they hadn't read.

    Doh!

    However this means I'm now super ready.

    We're about 8/10ths packed bit of a crazy few hours last night/early this am.

    Was supposed to be teaching but feeling sicky soy job share is covering.

    Quiet day and paperwork awaits I think.

    Wks guys I think you're right late one with dd bit emotional yesterday then a call at 4.45 saying you're moving tomorrow - frantic night coupled with early start feel bleurgh.

    Just the right weather for it as well :) I've got a meeting in Wick this afternoon, but then I'm planning on doing exactly the same thing, probably with a tub of Haagen-Dazs.

    Hope you are feeling better. It is mostly likely a combination of everything that's been going on. Hope your foot is better soon too. Did you get it out yourself after?
