Just a very quick post to say that we went to the Newcastle friendly against Celtic last night. There were 6 of us together (Billy, Raji, Paul, Emmy, Yvonne and myself) and we went and met up with Ian and Chris in the pub first, and later with Michael. We had a very pleasant evening, [...]

Monday was a nightmare at work as my manager had been covering on Thursday and Friday and I returned to piles of things for me to sort. I stayed until 5.30pm before deciding enough was enough – the desk wasn’t clear, but I had at least sorted through everything so that I knew what was [...]

On Friday morning, I ventured into the living room and kitchen for the first time, and was appalled! I can’t begin to describe the mess that there was. I’d had a call on Wednesday evening from Laura to say that the cat had made a nasty mess in the middle of the kitchen floor, and [...]

Thanks to Suburban Mum, I took the test – I’m addicted but not as badly as she is!   54%How Addicted to Blogging Are You?    

Thank you for letting me  rant – and for the nice messages of support. I’m feeling calmer now, though no less put-upon. I’ve managed to go through the calendar, fitting in all the summer plans, and although it is horrendously busy, I do feel I at least know what’s happening when. I went to the [...]
