Woohoo - our pal Viv is visiting whilst back for a few days from sunny Cairo (where she is living with her bf). Looking forward to catching up - perhaps she will see nomyx whilst she is here!

Must find out if she uses LJ - or even knows about it.

May peace and comfort be with you.

Well my boss has finally returned, after a month - not bad for 3 angioplasties! He seems ready to get back in the saddle, so I don't mind losing the wages - the pressure of impending OFSTED was just a bit more than I actually needed right now. Although I do believe I have probably already spent my anticipated spondooliks on another corset (yes I ( Read more... )

Woohoo! Two weeks (almost) of nearly no work ( Read more... )

Well almost - the boots I ordered from Hot Topic are in the area - they tried to deliver them today when we were at work, but they should redeliver them tomorrow whe Hubby will be here anyway. He finally has a day off work after working all Saturday until 11.30 at night (for no pay - yeah I know - don't get me started). Anyway - he is gonna be home ( Read more... )

He was sent to Bahrain just as the war was kicking off and couldn't come back until he'd done some work over there. I was beside myself with worry and spent too long on the phone with him (nearly 30 minutes some nights!!!) but the phone bills from and to ( Read more... )

Had brain_error and nomyx and Tim round for dinner on Friday, which was lovely (though I really must get round to buying more matching crockery - my crockery is a mockery!). They bought us little gifts - I finally got the malachite bacelet I'd been looking at (weird how people know exactly what I want without me telling them!) plus two 'little books' and some ( Read more... )

Hopefully going up to Malvern tomorrow pm - Hubby getting off work early. May be going to see All About Eve if things pan out ok! The stay overnight in Malvern & trek down to Bristol next day to see nomyx and brain_error (if they feel up to it!). Then back home to Weymouth for 6.30 to pick up Boy2!

I'm gonna feel it at work on Sunday!

Chatted to neonnina in msn tonight ( Read more... )

Well - Christmas was really unimpressive (apart from my visa bill!) but the overall feeling was one of catching up - with family, friends, any jobs that needed doing and my sleep debt (hallelujah!).
