    Thank you so much for the cheer Ampersand - I love it!!!!:D


    Please to report that dissertation was submitted at 13.00 a full 4 hours ahead of the deadline!!! :TNot ad going for me! I have even had time to cook a chicken and bacon pasta bake for tea, go into work for a few hours to catch up with my emails, print and bind the hard copies (well PA did the binding!) and get them posted off!


    DD2 bought me a lovely bath bomb and some chocolate and I have some wine in and a new book! That's my evening planned!!! :grin:


    What a relief!!! Now for some planning, cleaning, sorting and generally catching up with things! But not tonight!!!!
