1. Productive morning - getting some things sorted, appointments made, laundry, etc while I've been at home (no work today!). :)

2. Off to city centre now for a bit of a shop & the gym. :D

3. My gawd it's cold! Going to have to dress like Nanook of the North. I hate winter. >:(

4. Was hoping to enroll in an intensive Spanish class that was scheduled to begin tonight, but it was canceled so no joy there. Will have to snuggle in at home with DH instead. (Did I mention that it's freaking cold?!)

5. The rest of my worldly possessions that I have been without for nearly 4 years are scheduled to sail in to the Port of Felixstowe next Tuesday - so I should finally have all the rest of my stuff soon!  Yaye! ;D  Now where to put it... [smiley=blank.gif]

ETA:  Freaking great!  Now it's hailing or sleeting out!  Rethinking this plan to go into city centre... :-X

1. Had a really horrible day w/account manager yesterday but my bosses stuck up for me.
2. Having to go to MIL tomorrow to decorate cookies with DH's cousin and her herd of kids - but I get to duck out early to start a research paper.
3. It's supposed to be sunny all weekend.
4. Going to make sausage balls tomorrow for breakfast.
5. I really want 3:30 to hurry up and get here!

1. Started my day off with a fight with the hubby, oh joy >:(
2. Turns out the winter storm we were supposed to get, we did get. Now nearly everything is cancelled or closed due to the foot or so of snow we got and dummy that I am struggled into work.
3. Looks like my diy plans for the weekend may have to wait until we can get to the hardware store, maybe not such a bad thing.
4. I've been asked to help a friend out at her flower shop before Valentines day for a few extra bucks and I love doing that, so very happy for me.
5. I'm consoling myself for coming into work with a warm cuppa and the knowledge that it should be very quiet here today.

1. No work from today until Tuesday (as usual) - yaye!  It was one of those weeks at work that really made me appreciate my PT schedule. :-X

2. Female troubles today - just want to curl up with my blanket or in a hot bath.  But today should be the worst of it, which means things ought to be on the up & up starting tomorrow. :-[

3. We've had some sunny & not too cold days here in Leeds this week. 8)

4. I've arranged for us to start receiving home milk delivery beginning tomorrow! Have wanted to do it for a long time, but couldn't find their phone number. :P

5. Good news at my doctor's appointment this morning! :)

1.  I get my husband back tonight.  He had to spend two nights away due to work.  So, we are having a cozy night in with take-away from the Texas Longhorn place in the centre of Rushden (it might be crap but, we are just too intrigued--DH wants to take his "Texan" in with him).

2.  I am getting my hair cut and the colour touched up on Sunday.  Can't wait as it is currently a disaster.  And whilst in the town where the salon is, I am buying my first pair of wellies!!!  Woo hoo!

3.  I woke up with three fuzzy dogs in or next to the bed this morning.  It was lovely.

4.  Had a momentary freak-out about finances and then realized I subtracted rent twice and that we are, indeed, okay.

5.  Looking forward to a weekend filled with being homemaker-ish.  Baking, setting up the bits of the house that are still mazes of boxes, doing loads of laundry, and buying a freezer and microwave.

1. I had a massive hangover all day.
2. I'm broke until Monday but have enough food in the house until then.
3. Think I'm coming down with the flu but hoping it's the hangover making me feel this bad.
4. I have got to clean this weekend - the house is starting to look like a condemned sign should be posted somewhere.
5. Making fish sticks and tater tots for dinner - woohoo.

1. Slight champagne hangover today, but not too bad.
2. My builder is here again - making a nice closet for the guest bedroom!  (Where the immersion heater used to be until we put our new boiler in a couple years ago & the closet got all torn up in taking the immersion heater out.)
3. Lots of washing up this morning - DH went to town in the kitchen last night & there were lots of dirty dishes, but the food was awesome so I didn't mind.
4. I need a nap!
5. Still waiting to hear about when my stuff from the US is going to get here...
