Morning All

Thanks for the lovely comments about the pictures. Its lovely sitting in a mostly tidy study this morning. The blinds are partly open. OH says he doesnt want them completely open because he doesn't want potential trouble makers seeing what gadgets we have to rob. Mind you don't think I want them open that much either the weather is horrible out their this morning.

Have rather a long list today so once OH gets up, he is still off on holiday, I can get started.

Hi everyone, i'm only up to page 18 so don't really know whats going on but hugs to everyone.

Holly so sorry about OH's father.

Have done very little flying here since tuesday, got up wednesday and couldn't get out of bed. My head has been throbbing ever since. Went to doctor who nicely said go home and rest (with 3 kids off i don't think so) and drink plenty of water(if i drink anymore i'll never leave to toilet) he did give me ibufen with still isn't touching it. My head is that bad i could just cry, keeping waking up in the middle of the night to get more pain killers and bed sheets have had to be washed every morning (totally soaking). Oh and to top it off today Aunt flo arrived awwwwww.

Right better stop complaining and get dressed and put the bins down.

i've got the morning off in lieu today, as i worked til 11pm (from 9am) yesterday - was running a training session! was exhausted by the time i got home!! our new sofas came this morning, what a relief! they are lovely and they fit down the narrow corridor no problem. contemplating a trip to the tip with the bag of packaging but might just put the card in our recycling box and put the bag out with the rubbish on tues as it's a nasty day!

I need to go to work at 12.30 so have got almost 3 hours and i need to do a few bits:

hoover behind where sofas will go
hoover lounge
put library cd on ipod
return library books
address thank you letter envelopes
move sofa in spare room
washing up
shower
rubbish tip?
