    Afternoon everyone:hello:

    I'm having a 'great' day today (if I tell myself that often enough I'm sure to believe it eventually)...

    Didn't get to the coast at the weekend - we went to Hunslet to drop something off but as I pulled up he said "what are you doing here, we need to be in Dewsbury" cue 70mile trip for a journey that should have been no more than 30 miles there and back cos I got rattled and went right round the houses! Hoping to get to the coast this weekend - still hoping for Robin Hood's Bay; quiet, secluded, cold and wet!

    ebay queen - good luck for the interview, sorry to hear the car failed the MOT. is it a bad fail or a fairly cheap fixable fail?

    Snaggles, can just imaging 'tash stuffing the biscuit in her mouth then reaching for the second. She looks a determined little girl in your piccie!

    Right back to the slog here! probably on and off whilst i'm doing this horrid job (timetable planning for next year and it's just so tedious, but it needs to be done RIGHT otherwise it's a real headache unpicking and redoing it).

    Cheerio, Cat.x

    course is cool :D Have 2 short assignments to do for next time but there isn't a session next week with it being bank holiday, so I've got 2 weeks to do them.

    I keep reading about everyone with their Wii Fit board thingy - it looks cool. I saw PaP's home video of her on the balance board and I think I would enjoy it but can't justify the outlay for a console and then the Wiifit on top! Maybe I'll wait a couple of years until the next new big 'thing' is out console wise and the Wii is old hat - might be able to afford one then!
