All I've done is the laundry, shopping, lying around, browsing the internet and I'm now stirring myself to repair the metal ends of a scarf and possibly shortening a pair of trousers.

With all the spare time I have, you'd have thought I'd have more done.

My advice, which I am not very good at taking myself(!) is not to worry about it.

I have weekends like that - get home Friday night and don't go out the front door again until Monday morning, then achieve nothing apart from the day-to-day essentials with the time. While I don't always succeeed, I've tried to stop worrying about it and accept that if I achieved little that weekend, then it's because I needed the downtime (and there are times when I do really need it).

Ono - have you seen Modus? I started watching it this weekend (recorded it over Christmas I think). Was one of those Saturday night BBC4 Scandinavian crime dramas.... thought you may have seen it

Got the last two episodes left to watch.....seriously considering going home to do that!

Yes, I watched it when it was broadcast. My Saturday evenings are usually spent watching the 9pm BBC4 "foreign crime drama" slot, such is the excitement of my social life :rotfl:

I thought it was very good, as much of what they show is.

edit - going home sounds like a good idea!

I am wondering whether I should be concerned that I managed to leave both my front and back door ajar last night when I went to bed?
Given that a) I remember thinking I mustn't forget to check the doors and promptly forgot and b) the ferocious guard dog that is Gitdog tends not to open his eyes when strangers enter the house.

Today, I spent over 6 hours sorting envelopes and labels for a mailshot that can't be sent out until the photocopier is fixed.

That's it.

I really, really, need to find another job.

That sounds mindnumbingly bad. Any prospect of it improving when sick person is properly back.

Gingernutty

Sick person is properly back.

We are getting to be an awesome team. We had a long heart to heart and she showed me a load of stuff that I could do to keep the admin side ticking over. Including how to generate sticky address labels for mailshots.

The person I'm replacing is still off and will be off for the foreseeable future.

It's Pancake Day!

Tonight we will have lemon and sugar, or banana and chocolate on it. Yummy, yummy.

I've had some pancake disasters over the years but am very tempted to give it another go this evening.
