    So pleased to hear Ginge is home!

    Thanks for the welcomes back:D

    Up at 'normal' time (for me) this morning 6:30 :eek: (that's the time I get up for work). Although I am not yet showered and dressed I have pegged out 3 (yes 3!) loads of washing and have a duvet cover to peg out shortly. I have also ironed yesterday's washing (all on cheap rate as am channelling a certain E. Scrooge:rotfl:)

    Yesterday I cleaned the bathroom:cool: in addition to playing the washing hokey cokey.

    I also began the construction of the *GULP* holiday things-to-do list!

    Had a great time tonight, Frodders, I do like a bit of Seth myself :)

    I am in musical mourning today as the hard drive which stored ALL my music has died :cry: Had all my CDs not been stolen when our garage was broken into earlier this year it wouldn't have been such a big deal, but as it stands I now have about 50 CDs in the car and that's it :(

    A few have been bought via Amazon and I'm fairly sure I can download another digital copy for free but I reckon I've lost about 500 albums forever. Bumholes :(

    On a brighter note, it's a BTCC Sunday so I'll be spending this afternoon cheering on Rob Austin :heart: DH had a moonp!g card made up with Rob's picture on and sent it off to his workshop in Evesham to be signed by the man himself; best birthday card ever :D

    Fizz, sorry to hear about your hard drive. If it's any help, Amazon had available to download almost every CD I'd ever bought. including the presents for other people...
    so this is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the people you buy for :rotfl:
