Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

Sounds good to me, Cheery - I'm sure a lot of safety gear and knowledge is needed for working on a roof, and I don't know what the weather is like with you, but it *glorious* here, if you're going for a walk, today's the day

ISA topping, knitting and P&P/Good Life are all excellent too - have a brilliant day

:hello:

Cheery_Daff

Thanks KC

Actually I landed up working this morning :eek: I did LOADS on Friday when I worked - partly because it felt like 'extra' time so I didn't have a constant sense that I should be doing something else work-related

I don't normally go in for this type of behaviour :eek: but we're VERY close to the end of a three year project, there are things that should have been done but haven't, and after a day and a half of working (Friday and this morning) I'm a LOT closer and feel a LOT happier :j :j

Anyway, Friday I'm exchanging for next Thursday, when I'm off to visit a cheery pal up north and today I'll just take half a day as annual leave, and save the other half for another time :j :j

Just had THE nicest leftovers lunch :j :j and as soon as we've had another cuppa we WILL leave the house, promise :rotfl:

Yay to your cheery pal up north

Cheery_Daff

Yay indeed, super excited :j :j

Lovely day :j Wandered down through the woods and sat in a cafe for a bit, then home. Walked probably 6 or 7 miles? Gorgeous day, had to take my jumper off and wished I could take shoes off too!

Sat in the garden now and i've had my shoes off and been eating a chocolate mini milk i found in the bottom of the freezer :rotfl: feels like summer already :j :j

Karmacat

:j:j:j that really *does* sound like summer!

Cheery_Daff

Doesn't it :j :j

Had some news at work today - I won't be working Fridays after all... Not wholly unexpected, and in some ways perfectly reasonable decision, but I can't say I'm impressed about the way it came about.

Still, I still get to do my cheery project :j and I get my Friday's back, so all's not that bad :j :j

(Does mean I don't get the extra £1500 though... which is a shame as that would have paid for the work on the roof :rotfl: )

Ah well, can't win 'em all.

Mr Cheery driving to see a friend in York tomorrow, so I'm cadging as far as his house then we're going to cycle to the office together so I can give Mr Cheery a tour :rotfl:

Realised I'm going away on Thursday morning for the whole weekend and there's a million things I need to do :eek: G

* fill in grant reporting form for allotment association money - not due til next Friday so it could wait til I get back
* work on diploma research project - really could do with getting the ball rolling on this one, at least sending a couple of emails...
* pack!
* figure out what times trains are and let everyone else know (probably should have done this weeks ago... )
* water plants
* house is a complete tip but Mr Cheery will just have to live with it :rotfl:

aarrgghh!

Karmacat

What a shame about the money - the *process* doesn't sound good either Lift cadging, office tours, and cheery trip away sound wonderful tho

Don't forget to water the plants

Cheery_Daff

I'm trying not to complain *too* much about it kc (on here at least, can't promise about real life!!) but let's just say I am Considerably Vexed (yes, with capitals)...

Ah well, that's life, and it gives me a bit of space for other things stupid phone!Yep, ignori

Cheery_Daff

Sorry :rotfl:

Did some diploma stuff last night, and some stuff for allotment association, so they can be safely left :j Everything else will be ignored til I get back - although I WILL water the plants, and possibly tomorrow morning too :j :j

We're looking after neighbour's cheery dog for a couple of hours tonight :j :j Love that dog Sadly he's on his own all day while we're here but we didn't know that til last night so couldn't offer to help!

Right, best crack on...

Karmacat

It's so funny what your phone does sometimes :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

You're borrowing a dog tonight! Excellent
