    Celyn, you work far too hard, did you leave work at 11 last night, and then make muffins, only to be back at work for 8 this morning :eek:

    Have a good day all xx

    Ermmm ... I left at 10.30pm, got home at 11pm...cooked dinner, cooked cake whilst cooking dinner (OH was later because he's got to have something to show his collaborators tonight, so he didn't get in until 11.45pm either - but then he starts at 10 am :rolleyes: ),went to bed... woke up at 6 am, was in work by 6.30... I know it's not healthy, but it's only until the thesis is done then I'm going to have to to start weaning myself off the caffiene :) My boss doesn't think I work hard enough! :rotfl:

    I think the Gods are smiling on me today though - my psycho boss has been hassling me to hassle other people for data for weeks and they don't share his sense of urgency - but they just sent it about 5 mins ago - I'm due to see him in an hour so now he won't be mad (or as mad) at me. The sense of relief is immense - I've lost the normal pre-meeting anticipatory nausea I get (we are all like that in my sector!).

    Pippad - fingers crossed for you :o arkonite_babe - good luck for you too :)
    pen-pen - sorry about the chick :(
    Hilstep - :eek: :eek: I hate it when things like that happen too, even if I know it's a mistake I'm really stressed until it is sorted - when we moved house last they tried to charge us for the arrears in the council tax that the previous tenants accrued. I was a basketcase until it was sorted even though I knew it wasn't me and I knew we wouldn't have to pay it. :rotfl:

    Just a quick update on DD she went to see doctor this morning about sunburn turning into some kind of rash. Doctor has told her to get some anti- histamine tablets for it. So at least its nothing too nasty.

    I thought it may have been where she sprays perfume around her neck, (actually she drowns herself in it) then went out into the sun, some perfumes react like that in the sun.

    You could have it willingly, but far too heavy to post.

    I'm not sure where you live donny gal:confused: Are you in the UK? If so Parcel 2 go offer postage at really really cheap prices, I posted two heavy stereo speakers last week and it cost me £6.00, Link here:

    I just wondered if this would help. Just a thought.

    I know we are not allowed to give medical advice, but it sounds like prickly heat.
    I had it in greece one year and a local pharmacist advised me to keep out of the sun for a few days and gave me antihistamines.
