Not much to report today:

* I was at work until 6.45pm, because I have too much to get done this week. Yesterday was a 6.20pm finish. At least I know I have to finish on time tomorrow, because of picking up Eldest.

* I played a quick game of Literati with angelofthenorth and her boyfriend last night. M won, which it was quite evident from the first couple ( Read more... )

It's been trying to snow on and off today, but nothing's settled. It seems like a backward step from noticing all the crocuses flowering through the grass on the central reservations on the way to work yesterday morning. Maybe it'll start to feel like spring by the time it gets to Easter ( Read more... )

I remembered what I was going to put in last night's post but forgot:

As you may know, my two kids are very fussy eaters, and there is very little they like, Youngest particularly. Well, Youngest surprised us this weekend by adding no less than three items of food to her 'will eat' list: chicken drumsticks, scrambled egg, and toasted muffins. ( Read more... )

Why yes, I *am* online late this evening :-) This would be because Hubbie is away on business all week, so my internet time is a lot less limited than usual until Saturday. I've spent this evening catching up on reading all the LJ posts I've only managed to skim in the last 4 days, losing at Literati, and chatting to hiddenhibiscusSo does anyone fancy playing ( Read more... )

My dames_magique Valentine's Day offering is done and dusted and finally in the post. Now we just have to trust to the postal system to be efficient ( Read more... )

If you missed it at dearsanta, you have another opportunity to read: The Professionals, my Ron/Cho piece, is now up at the Astronomy Tower. Do go and read!

And to add to my joy, it already has two reviews :-D

I need to wish a belated Happy Birthday
to frayer!!! My Hubbie says that it's a birthday week rather than a birthday day - hope you have a great week ( Read more... )

Hee! It appears from yesterday that everyone has very different ideas as to what writing (if any) I should concentrate on first - 1 vote for each option ( Read more... )

* I'm going to meet hiddenhibiscus this year for sure! Whee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* The vending machine code for the can I wanted this morning was 42. For some reason, this amuses me :-)

* A Certain Fic is now double the length it was at New Year. Two thirds done, I reckon.

* My 'to do' list is getting longer rather than shorter ::sigh ( Read more... )

I am *so* looking forward to having a decent break from work over Christmas! One more day to go... I reckon the kids are too (and Hubbie's already started his). It's the Blackettes' last day at school today, and they've been progressively harder to wake up each morning this week. This morning was no exception:

Me, prodding Eldest: [Eldest], ( Read more... )
