Missed the storm here, just like in Swindon (1987).

I thought of you and how you would've hated it. It was so bad I had to forego my Merlot. But at least little Victoria wasn't on board again.
And things are going about 1000 time worse than I thought they would, and I thought they would be pretty bad when I set off. I've truly reached the flogging a dead horse stage. Thinking of coming back tomorrow, if I can get a flight.
there is things i know
and there is also things i don`t know
there's even stuff i don't know i don't know
but of the stuff i know i don`t know I'm not that keen to find out so they don't count

I know that you think that you understand what you thought I said, but I am not sure that you realise that what you heard is not what I meant.

Do it. Sod's law says if you leave it until Friday, little Vicky will be returning from her half term break
Sending safe journey vibes to the travelling bat.
Hope the horse is somehow resurrected soon...
Here, I am in the land where there appears to be no consensus over who's in charge of what, what's happening when and what I'm exactly meant to be doing. On the one hand this is quite liberating; on the other it's totally inefficient and driving me mental. If it was MY department I'd have a proper handle on everything that goes on within it... but it's not, and that's how things are different these days...
I would like to have snowy's day from yesterday instead, plzkthx...

Noooooooooo.
The dead horse perked up a bit today handy but then had another bad turn... and I'm still here.
Insomniac Central this end, fed up with it
Bats hope your home soon
Storms must have giving us a miss apart from rain never seen or heard anything, hope those effected get sorted out soon.
Handy to get them organised
Nothing much to report everything seem quiet in here KJeeves is keeping everyone safe in the shed.

I was going to log on last night, laura, but I fell asleep 
It's amazing what an hour's commute each end of the day will do for you in that regard!
Sending vibes to you, and to batty, flogging away there, and to everyone else who needs any.
We watched How To Tame Your Dragon when I got in from work last night; really, really good film. Highly recommended. See if you can spot which one is voiced by David Tennant (no cheating!)

Another long day at the coal face and I seriously doubt I'm that much closer to a solution. So, I'm going to buy a large slice of cake, some bubble bath and a new bathmat, and I'm going to spend the evening watching a DVD and not worrying about how much poorer I am for dealing with all this poo. Yup, it's as sound a plan as any.

All piggies present and correct.

This time last year I'd've been sharing the cake and really wish I could be there to help ease the pain ... enjoy the soak

I am puzzled by your lack of half term
However, as regards the rest, remove your conscientious hat and remember you don't want to stay there so it ain't worth losing sleep over. Hugs xxx

i had a half term.... the week before Melony's (started on Friday 18th). So I spent it doing housework... *sigh*
No, you're right, it's not worth worrying over.
Just exasperating!
I like quite a lot of things about the school, so it's fine for supply and knowing that I'm only here for weeks makes the journey to work and back just about bearable...
At around 3pm local time, I decided to stop flogging that dead horse. Ticket bought. Airport arrived at in time - I'm on my way home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good thinking KJ, my next step will be teaching a horse to sing. Only it will have to be a different horse coz the first one is dead, innit.
Today I'm torn between pretending to still not be here and having a major skive, and getting caught up on the mountain of stuff that awaits my attention.
It's a real dilemma.
