    Happy Birthday Lame Wolf! Hope you are going to crack open bottle of something nice with MrLW his evening.

    The post that I thought I wrote this morning appears to have disappeared into the ether :mad:

    I took my car to have its handbrake adjusted this morning (I read a whole book in the hour that it took) and have been trying to clear my desk this afternoon. A few more things have been crossed off my list, but now HMRC have sent me a reminder to fill in my online tax return :mad: No peace for the wicked!

    (((Hugs))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x

    PS Kaz, my ISA is with the Coventry BS

    Many, many thanks for all the kind words and gws wishes :D

    I am fed-up sofa-surfing already, even with the great company here. Never thought I would wish to feel well enough to get the floor-sucker out :rotfl:

    Thanks Jazee. You're not a wuss, you're trying to do too much, so, rest please along with Lynne on the Flylady Sofa. I'll send a Chippendale round later to bring a G&T with a large slice of lime and lots of ice for each of you.
    Mr C probably was mobbed on the way in, as we have the shows on the promenade this week and loadsa people about. Managed to get the top off a bottle of red though and slowly sipping ONE glass.

    Is the Chippendale on his way to Concrete Cow Country yet? If he perchance has some halfway decent malt whisky about him, I'll be a happy Wolf. Specially as 'tis my birthday today, and I really do NOT like the idea of being 57.
    Hope you had a really great Birthday LW - the number doesn't matter ;)

    Sending hugs, all my sticks and spoons (not in use atm)for those needing some and hope you all have a lovely Friday

    I have just submitted my tax return - probably the earliest I have ever done it :D
    My desk is still a mess, although I have made progress with sending emails and sorting papers :o
    I also had a good meeting with my supervisor :)

    Now off to the Land of Nod, I hope!

    Morning everyone

    Happy birthday for yesterday LW. Been a busy week with the paid stuff so only a little flying done here but I have kept on top of the basics at least.

    Houseful of teenagers sleeping over tonight so it may be a late night. Cycling tomorrow, DS2 has football on Sunday. Best get ready for work. DS1 and friend are coming with me to get the bus to the big city with their girlfriends for a shopping trip so better wake them both up soon!

    Morning all. Welcome newbies.

    A fluttering day will be the order of today here. The back is easing off but I don't want to make it worse again so I'll just potter, leave the garden, and the dog walk will be a short one to pick up meds from the surgery.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.
