    Plan to [STRIKE]finish a report[/STRIKE] this morning then do our en suite; [STRIKE]the shiny stuff (towel rail etc) has been irritating me for ages as it badly needs a polish.[/STRIKE] Also on list:
    - email vicar's wife to put something in village magazine about lilies for Easter.
    - [STRIKE]see if RSPB site is working to put in my bird count. Yesterday it didn't like my password, so I have requested a re-set twice but nothing has come through.[/STRIKE]
    - pay claim form for uni
    - [STRIKE]start another report[/STRIKE]
    - finish filing paperwork from old reports now new binders and boxes have arrived.
    -[STRIKE]ring friend to arrange lift to flower club tomorrow.[/STRIKE]

    About to change and go to gym.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Evening all. Nothing to add to the dog things, all three of mine have been different (only two now though).

    I went to see Adam Ant - 3rd Nov 1982 - Brighton - his birthday. Have resisted since as I don't want to think he might not be so good now he's old(er).

    Just the dinner and dishes done tonight.
    See you all tomorrow flyers, oh and welcome newbies.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Whole house smells funny - J spilt diesel down his jeans this morning and I didn't think and washed them with other things. When I remembered I'd done washing I took it out and still smelt diesely. Washed again but put washing soda in as I thought it may help get rid of the smell. It's not quite as bad now but still distinct waft of diesel around now clothes are hanging up airing. I'm just washing the WM in the vain hope it gets rid of the diesel smell and that the clothes will be better once they are dry. We'll see.

    In PJs already as had a lovely shower which did seem to help my poor blocked sinuses. J called me and said his probation has been extended by 3 months which I guess is good news - he hasn't been doing the job they wanted him for as they pulled him off onto another project but now he's going to be set free onto what they took him on for! I try not to worry about it and just go day by day but the problem with a job like he has is yes they pay well, but they won't think twice about kicking you out. At least when he worked for the civil service he didn't earn as much but his job was relatively more secure.

    Anyhow, enough of me. Hope you are all OK with all this blustery weather. Hugs, sticks, spoons, get well soon vibes and rest vibes are all here - take whatever you fancy.
