1.  Clear today in Edinburgh!  Slightly sunny even!
2.  Should be an interesting day workwise.
3.  My last Friday night in Edinburgh for almost a month!
4.  Not got much on today to be honest.
5.  Came to office early and was asked 'are you part of the early morning crew now?'  :)

1) All full of cold - probably going back to bed.  [smiley=sick.gif]
2) The weather is supposed to be rubbish here today - it's already been raining some & supposed to rain more later, so a good day to be in bed!  [smiley=blank.gif]
3) DH and I were supposed to go for an evening out tonight with persephone & her hubby in the happening city of York - but I've cancelled due to #1 above.  :\\\'(
4) Days like this I am so glad that I don't have children - I can be a miserable sod in my bed if I want to be...not having to take care of anyone else.  :)
5) The builder has pretty much finished up work in our main bedroom, so we can start decorating now.  :D

Happy Friday All!
1.) Was great to be back to work this week and out of my house, even if I'm struggling!
2.) Will probably sleep all weekend long because of exhaustion from struggling to work when I know I really shouldn't be!
3.) I have, have, have to find energy to finish my 3/4 finished critter  :-\\\\  sorry critter getter  :\\\'(
4.) Trying to rethink and replan my holiday with my parents, because instead of doing a crazy journey from London to here, I don't know if I'll be up for it.  So, instead, we'll probably hang around Scotland and do day trips.
5.) Does anyone know how to easily change an Easyjet ticket? 
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

1. Still a bit ill, but back at work today! :)
2. Stupid hurricanes- slightly worried about my family in Houston, but they are inland so they shouldn't be hit too hard.
3. DH's birthday is on Monday so need to get him a card/present tomorrow!
4. Looking forward to having some playtime on WoW this weekend.
5. I love my new smartphone (Nokia E71)- probably one of the coolest things I've ever purchased!

1. My in-laws are away for most of the day!
2. DH gets to go food shopping with me (he actually likes to!).
3. We've started sleep training the baby.
4. I also need to finish my critter (sorry critter-getter!).
5. I want to bake this weekend and get organized.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

1. Making a huge American feast tonight
2. Bf and I have the house to ourselves tonight! YES!
3. Bf is getting movies which means I'll probably be subjected to four hours of depressing foreign films
4. Wondering if it's too early to make myself a vodka ginger ale
5. I found chips and salsa that weren't wretched at Sainsbury's and had that for lunch and it was yum.
