    Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?

    Good morning!!

    How are we all today? My (mother of all) headache(s) turned out to be sinusitis, so I've spent a small fortune on sinus relief tablets that only seem to be taking effect after taking them for 4 days straight!

    My brother came to visit yesterday evening and show off the new addition to his family - black cat called Bobble that he acquired from the RSPCA. He says he had pneumonia when his GF took him to RSPCA and he didn't have the strenght to say "no". I predict that when he's off on his weekend trips I'll be asked to look after Bobble because when you've six cats, what's one more???

    I'm hoping for a quiet day workwise but you never can tell...

    I'm cold!!!!!!

    good morning all.......:D

    I'm working on AQA and keeping out of OH's way. He is (finally) getting up a head of steam and working on the bedroom. He has been doing bits over the weekend, but he is being a real pain in the !!!.

    Everything is !!!! and !!!! and every little stage is filled with lots of huffs and puffs and sighs and trying to blame me :rolleyes: ..........apparently because I haven't dusted the ceiling light yet for him, there is no way he can finish the bedroom before the carpet arrives Friday:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: ...........

    Morning all.

    Back at work today after a week off. Not a good monday morning, far to tired to be working.

    This year has gone really quickly, but I'm getting all geared up for Christmas and have just sent off for my first £10 voucher from pigsback! I'm very excited about it.

    I have my slimming class tonight, so I'm hoping that I'll be in for a good loss before Christmas.

    Good morning!

    This is my first post on the daily chat thread, as I am v new to the board - but I feel sooo much better already. So thanks a lot!

    Well I'm shattered today! My 15mth baby is girl is teething so have not had much sleep. In work today (4 days a week) will probably be v grumpy later haha - find I get more work out of them on grumpy days :rotfl:

    2nd son is on half term, and has strict instructions to find himself a p/t job. Apparently full time college these days is 3 days a week!!! :confused:

    Claire :o
  • Morning all! Well today is day one of half term (aka 3 kids at home = hell week). It is frrrreeeeezzzing cold here too. The house is already a mess, so it's good to tell they are all at home. It beats rushing for the school run though!

    Can't believe this month is nearly over ... can't believe this year is nearly over. It has gone so quickly.
