    Happy Birthday Master Pigpen :D

    AnWsMum, thinking of you x What about making a huge list of what you want to get done, usually guarantees for me that the day will fly over and I won't get half of it done?

    Morning all. Just booked to get the implant thing done, talked into it by my nurse as I have a 'dead leg' for a week every time I get my injection, April Fools day of all days but at least I won't forget the appointment. Ordered DS1s prescriptions, been to chemists (piles cream for DPs tattoo and rennies because he's feeling rough after last night :rotfl: ) Coop to buy what's on offer (sure they'll be calling me the bogof woman soon) fruit and veg shop aswell.

    Really cold here so studying a good excuse to stay inside all day, time to open the next assignment booklet, eeek! Think I'll fill the DW first, wipe the kitchen over then start that, will have a 'fling' this afternoon.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
