I've just realised what's been wrong this summer - I haven't stopped working

Wotcha Grumpies. Today I am mostly writing a training session that I've got to deliver four times in the course of one day. That day is next Tuesday so I'm running out of time. Procrastination is not my friend right now... so why am I tidying my office???

Hope Eire wasn't too wet, snowy x

Just a flying visit - I'm on a split shift today ... yuk! Work is awful - absolutely awful but I'm soldiering on ... the boss walked past the other day after giving yet another list of ridiculous commands ... and my line manager followed, rolling her eyes at me - so i just said to her "May his bowels burn!" - and she totally lost the plot! She was in hysterics - my aim was to amuse, not my fault i'm reading a book that had some witches in it, thought I'd try my hand at cursing. Fortunately (or unfortunately) it seems I'm not very effective at it

Really that's all I've been up to - working. Destructo continues to be a pain ... although she is amusing me at the moment, as she's chilling on her back with her legs up in the air while barking but she can't be bothered to get up at the moment to deal with her imaginary crisis!

Here is a little local clip from the newspaper the other day that is somewhat alarming - I'm going to be a bit more paranoid about noises in the roof now

((((Sad)))) thank you soooo much for the card! It really made my day!! I rarely get anything in the post - even bills are a rarity as most is online now. So thank you

Right i better get on - i have to do some washing and ironing then do dinner then back to work for me! I must have done something really bad at some point, I hope it was fun at the time because I'm damned if I can remember it

Hope everyone is having fun and that the sleepyheads get to go to sleep - insomnia sucks!

I don't have your new address Plumster! I'll send you something!!

KJ - I'm sure whatever you concocted was... innovative and... safe to eat.

Sad - stop tidying your office!

Welcome back snOwy.

I'm contemplating a day of doing what I want. Well, I've got some paperwork I have to post but it won't take long, and the rest of the day could be mine. Or I could take the bike out for a spin and then paint some windows.

Big decisions.

Good luck on both counts, snowy!

Plum, I'm terrible at terrestrial communications but really glad to hear from you. keep on keeping on...

In KJ's honour I have just eaten cold sausage casserole for breakfast; it was delicious!

I have spent far too much of this summer mucking about online but have got quite a lot of work done, too.... onwards!

Hope you get a decent night's sleep tonight LL.

I will. I feel like I've walked miles today... if it wasn't for all the food I've tucked away I'd be feeling positively virtuous

Still not finished writing my blasted training though

Have a great weekend lovely grumpies xxx

Sad hope your sound asleep and manage to get the training written I am sure you will
I hate not sleeping I would not mind if I slept all day but I am up and about like normal

KJ lets us know your recipe didn't make you poorly I understand you could be travelling
Bats hope your resting and home for the holiday well at least till Tuesday, Snowy scrabble still calling then? have you tried alphbetty?
Have a great weekend grumpies and I hope the weather is good for you all to get out and about, not much needs for the shed and the Pimms this year next month we will get it ready for the Autumn with blankets and logs for the burner.
love hugs and vibes grumpies.

Morning!

We've got nothing planned for the weekend. Nothing at all. And I can't say how fab it is.

I quite fancy a long walk in the woods, followed by a late lunch somewhere nice.

Or maybe pottering at home for a bit, then a late lunch somewhere nice.

Or shopping, and a late lunch somewhere nice...

Hi Snowy enjoy your evening you earned it you gym bunny
Nothing much to report weather good so everyone out and about
Off to make some cards later either that or reorganise craft room
Not sure what will be the lesser of the two evils I can find stuff now
But will I if I reorganise?
