    Have you gone for your remortgage yet? Your house sounds lovely.

    Thank you, and nope. Need to stop working and do some cleaning. The plan was to have a few weeks off to sort the house before I started the next project but you have to take the work when it is there don't you?

    It is hard to turn work down. The amount of time our plans have been delayed by work coming in suddenly! Customers spend weeks dithering around and then suddenly make up their minds and want it done yesterday :D.

    Oh lord - your food sounds AMAZING!!! Another one here who adores anything with coconut!

    Brilliant baking tray bargains as well - not at all surprised you went for those when you saw them! :T You've also reminded me that I must make use of the flan tin I bought a few years back - used it for all sorts of things for a while but have kind of forgotten about it since!

    Survived last day of meetings on project one - no food, one coffee. Now drinking all of the coffee in a race against migraine.

    Need to do:
    tedious
    final emails, and timesheet for closing project
    sort clean washing and iron uniforms
    make a start on new project stuff so not clueless in the morning

    Lazy dinner tonight, RTC steak pie bought on the way home so DS1 happy.

    Got round to checking and the jeans I ordered as a long shot actually fit hurrah. The challenges of hate shopping, long body, short legs and chubby knees makes nice fitting jeans a rare and beautiful thing. I must order all of the jeans, once I have stopped twitching from drinking all of the coffee.

    I have very much the same problem! I am also cursed with a great big bottom and tiny waist so all jeans gape at the back.
    Managed to get sone from primark and they fit alright as have Lycra in which again is a major rarity! I'll join you in the twitching though, have had 4 large coffees today!!!!!

    i think I have the same migraine. Managed to get through the last of my work, get diesel, drive up the motorway, see the dentist and hygenist and drive back. Now having coffee and toast and honey and hoping I'll get to pilates in half an hour but my left eye is hinting this won't happen...
