1. Only working a half day to help offset the OT I did covering for people this week.
2. Finally getting a long overdue haircut this afternoon.
3. I am hoping that this hairdresser is better than the last one as I still haven't found one I can't live without in the UK. :(
4.  Slept very well and feel calm, happy and productive.
5. I am looking forward to an evening out in central London with my boyfriend. :)

1.  I'm off work today and so is my hubby so we'll spend the day together.
2.  Working tomorrow, but it should be an easy day.
3.  I won't be needing to replace a crown on my tooth after all (not now anyway) so that's one financial worry gone.
4.  I'm going to make my yummy lentil and vegetable soup today.
5.  I'd also like to bake some oatmeal cookies this weekend.

1. Going to pamper myself tomorrow and catch up on my sleep this weekend. It's been a long week!

2. It hasn't snowed all week! LOL. In fact... it's been nice and mild AND noticably lighter!

3. I've really enjoyed the half term commute - been at work nice and early which means I can leave early too!

4. Found a few really yummy, healthy recipes recently to add to the regular rota.

5. The car passed it's MOT this week - phew!!

1. Going to lunch with some girls from DF's office
2. Need to go to his office anyway to fax off a job application.
3. Taking a break from my addiction to The Wire!
4. It's a beautiful sunny day, so I'm looking forward to the walk to DF's office
5. We desperately need a vacuum, so I'm hoping that's on the weekend agenda!

1. Terrible cold, feeling like my head might explode!  [smiley=bomb.gif]
2. Wish I had made twice as much Guinness beef stew last night, it made me feel better, but it's all gone now, and I don't feel like eating or cooking anything else.  :(
3. Hard to catch up on UKY and my emails since we have no internet at home (and won't for a month!), and I have been busy at work. I miss you guys!  :\\\'(
4. Realised I have to get going on my driving license stuff since I have been requested to do marketing stuff at work that requires driving to other locations.
5. I can have another Lemsip in 30 minutes!

Man, I'm such a whinger when I'm ill!  :-[

1.) Yay, I have a job still! No need to worry about finding another visa, no need to worry anymore (for now) YAY! ;D ;D
2.) I got a nice raise and a super nice bonus!
3.) Putting my boyfriend on my car insurance lowered my premium for the year
4.) I am still a medical enigma, we still  don't know what in the world is wrong with me! More specialists and more tests in my future...
5.) Going to see Fiddler's Rally tomorrow

Happy Friday everyone!

Fantastic news!!!!   [smiley=2thumbsup.gif] I guess that must make you feel a little better, even though you are still ill. Hope the mystery is solved soon and you are back on your feet again!

1.  Bright and sunny day!  It's gorgeous and makes me feel ever so happy.   :D
2.  The garden centre I applied to on Wednesday called to schedule an interview on Monday.  It's just part-time temporary, but its a start.
3.  Walked about 8 miles today.  My feet are killing me, but it's all good.   :P
4.  My archaeology project is coming together very nicely.   ;D
5.  Saw a new doctor yesterday at a different practice and she was willing to listen to me and actually showed concern :)
...the whole damn thing will turn
and return redefined, rearranged, rearranged...

Thanks! I agree, the stress probably has not been helping me at all, so hopefully I'll be on the up!  :)
