    So the rock god has departed.

    I Consolled myself by chopping wood, went to work today and picked up a pile of pallets for the fire so spent a couple hours chopping pallets, and making a huge fire wood stash when we get home. Then did some tidying, paperwork and more work later. :)

    Big event tomorrow and then paperwork and posters to distribute for work and then a bit tidy up until head off on holibubs.

    Hope you're all good and cosy.
    :D

    Off to update banks etc :-)

  • Phew where did yesterday go?

    Looooooooooooooooooooooooong day followed by an event (last of the year) which went really well.

    Paperwork/meetings today, must do a 'before we go list' printed tickets which always seems a bit odd as they are supposed to be e-tix (doh) but this is family life I guess everything filled out in triplicate.

    Expenses to claim later today - just scanning them now.

    Then wriggle on.

    :)

    Have a good un - xmas concert tonight and lots to do in between.

    I do like a good xmas concert :)

  • I am informed that your parcel is waiting for you "doon sooth". :D Not bad that - posted friday mid afternoon and arrived yesterday apparently - as did the other one which was going to the wilds of the Hebrides. Very impressed with their Royalness Of Mail on this occasion.

    I trust the expenses are claimed? ;) <-- nearest I could find to a "raises eyebrow" smiley, that one.

    Christmas concert sounds like fab fun - not been to one of those for years, really ought to put that right. Wood chopping also fun!

  • Hey there
    Reminder duly noted

    Expenses claimed and cheque banked today - as the expenses ended up at over £650 - lets just say I'm a bit releaved.

    Maooosive list in a mo as I'm nearly on countdown to heading off - finish work tomorrow at lunchtime ish (or IF the plane goes) as the forecast is not clever. Unless 80 mph winds and blizzards are really your thing. Lets pray for calm!

    "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"
  • I used a paper list - who'd have known they were so efficient!

    Morning all - just sorting out final clobber and then will attempt to sit on suitcase :)

    It may not shut.

    fear not the cheese is in the hand luggage as the wellyboots are in the main bag. Priorities and all that.

    I have no clothes but that's fine.

    :D
