Nuts

The last few months have been a hard slog at work, so when I walk out that door on Christmas Eve, I know I will totally deserve a couple of days off.

In fact, I'm fairly sure I could put last week's bout of Flu down to work; the kids being poorly with it at the same time was coincidental.

So, it will be with relief more than anything that I greet the festive break.

And after a couple of days recharging batteries, I will be raring to go again in the new year.

Still alive!

Yeah, I'm still here! I've been a bit busy lately so websites, blogs, social networking etc have suffered big time, so I thought I'd better post a quick message to confirm my continued existence.

Pooped

I am so pooped - I think I'm gonna go to bed! Last week was a a bit of a marathon at work (but I'm loving it!), then at the weekend I spent a lot of time decorating, so when I went to work today I wasn't exactly on form - and by the end of the working day I was cream-crackered.

So, I know I've been a rubbish blogger lately but I gotta get me some sleep - might blog a bit more another day!

Amsterdam....again

Yawn/Tulips

Got an early flight to Amsterdam tomorrow morning.

Sounds exciting but unfortunately I'll only be there for two days and it will be work work work work work work. well you get the picture.

Not sure I'll even have time to stop and get some souvenirs!
