Wow Bellie you've worked so hard!

I haven't done everything I wanted to but I did get the Living room done and tidying. I was a bit preoccupied with keeping the kitchen clean and tidy after yesterday's session! I also dried a load and a half of washing, including a duvet, on the line.

I did an extra today, cleaned all the [strike]squirrels[/strike], er hair out of the brush bar. I am always amazed at how much hair is caught in that thing, anyone would think I would be bald by now! I guess freakishly long hair looks more in quantity than it really is when it has been wound round and round. Here's my updated list:

Morning all

Slept very well. It's a bit grey and overcast this morning and cooler which is nice. Though seems today is the last day of the good weather according to the forecast. Seems Saturday (when I go on holiday) isn't going to be torrential rain according to the forecast which is nice. I need to start thinking about starting packing tonight...

Morning everyone.

I did not get much done last night as *RANT ALERT* I had a run in with my boss at 5:10pm, just as we were leaving the office. I could have screamed the whole way home, all night and could still scream this morning. I spent an hour and a half on the phone with my Dad about it (he's very good with employer issues). I did 45 minutes on the Wii Fit - some yoga to try and calm me down, cooked dinner, watered the neighbours plants, and then watched The F Word.

Still seething with anger. Anyone know a good excuse to GO HOME?!?!?!? Ok, *rant over*
