It's miserable and wet here too LG. Just had a short spell of 'sunshine' and now it's clouding over again, Not much better tomorrow or Tuesday either.

Well, hopefully we have finally found something. There was plenty to choose from but not in warm enough climes. Our dates were very restricted because my friend starts her final year of her CIPD diploma in a couple of weeks time. She actually only has about seven lessons between Sept and mid October and the rest is then by assessments and appointments with her tutor, but that meant that we couldn't go until late October.

We started to look at Jersey again for just a five day break in between her sessions, but they are getting pretty well booked up late September, so we have now opted for November and are looking at a cruise in the Canaries which will be warm enough. Let's hope my boss will let me have the dates off as it falls right in the week of the annual AGM. I won't be attending but we still need part of the team in the office, so fingers and toes crossed that one member of staff and the apprentice can cope!!!!

Afternoon - only Pauline missing and we'd have a full UK complement!

Glad you've managed to sort something out YG. Eldest has got one of those CIPD things! You'll have to ask if you can go to your friend's Presentation Ceremony - any excuse to get the Glad Rags out ;-)

Most of the packing is done, bar a few bits and bobs and picnic food. We had to go to the shops in the pouring rain as well, but its dry now. At least Maz will have managed to get her washing dry :-D

Morning all. Hi everyone, Goodbye DET. Hope you enjoy the holiday. Remember if the cravings get too bad you can always find a public internet access and send us a message. Hope the weather stays fine for you. If not rug up and wear your wellies and raincoat.

I'm still here :-D Just waiting for PC to get back from work. One of the clients was threatening to beat her up and I'm doing the concerned mummy bit.

Our friends (end of the week) are on the internet, but it would be a bit rude to ask to use it. Never mind. See every who is not polishing, dusting and buffing in a week or so!

Now you all behave! <3

I have had a really rough night with a very high temperature and all my skin on my back feels really sore.

Evening everyone, or whoever is left on here at the moment!!

Sorry you are not feeling well LG. Hope you soon recover.

I'm just off to cook my tea. I have been held up trying to get quotes for my car insurance renewal. I was mortified when I got the renewal notice so phoned to see why they couldn't offer the same price as they do on the comparison website. They have now lost my business as I have found a provider with as good, if not better, policy saving me £200. Not to be sneezed at!!!! :-D

Hi all, been busy with loads of washing and ironing............. and working in the garden.

Hope you have a good holiday DET.

And I hope you get yours sorted YG............... sounds good.

LG, you just seem to get yourself pulled together when you catch something else. Get as much rest as you can.

Got to go make the dinner now.

Morning all, well it is wet and windy here but I don't care I am staying in :-D
After spending all of yesterday drifting in and out of sleep I do feel a little better today thanks. I have no energy at all but at least the soreness appears to have improved.
Maz seeing the bit about a bowl of water in the oven, have you tried adding a good dash of lemon juice as that is what I do to clean my microwave.

Mazfromnorf Report 6 Sep 2011 12:37

never thought of lemon juice i use white vinegar for cleaning and sprayed that on it has helped a bit
