    Wrap more presents. The bulk is done now.

    Morning all :hello:

    I'm in, thankyou Dusty.

    Have a headache this morning but I don't think it has migraine potential *touch wood* so it's time for a cuppa and some parrots-eat-'em-all. Seriously considering giving up drinking for a while to see if it helps my head, I only had one VAT last night too :(

    I've just realised that I didn't do lunches last night for the boys; I'm my own worst enemy.

    Happy birthday to your DD, Mt5 xx

    Thanks Dusty. I'm in again although there won't be time for anything other than dailies today before and after the paid stuff. I have however already amended my MrT order for tomorrow as I managed to get a lot of the stuff cheaper in HB yesterday.

    Right, off I go, have a great day everyone.
