    A little update from me. House buying and selling process is in motion and we have a buyer for our field at a good price.
    The new (touch wood!) house is FABULOUS.
    I failed to get a permanent promotion at work and another that I was going to go for has been snatched from under my nose (not advertised or interviewed).
    This makes me feel not too guilty about leaving should something else come up.

    I am moderating this term and probably exam marking too. DH is exam marking. I have a private tutee.

    DrinkalongaDexter was a bust as the internet slowed to a crawl.

    What were the rules of that one?

    If it was drink every time you witness a hideous death you would be ratted!
