Just realised I haven't posted over here in ages. Mostly that's because I've been busy, busy ( Read more... )

Horrah - I actually have a week that isn't looking crazy stupid busy. Yesterday the boss was on leave so the office was quiet and I got loads done. Today and tomorrow I'm out of the office at a conference - no early start today for a change. Then on Friday - and no laughing! - I'm off to my home town to pick up my sis and then we're going to see ( Read more... )

Yay - got my poetry assignment back and I'm very happy with the mark. My tutor says I got too close to the first poem I submitted and it doesn't gel properly.

Plus we ( Read more... )

I feel like today should be my last day at work before Christmas. It is very weird. I think it is because the schools break today, our youth group had their Christmas party last week and the kids have got theirs tonight. Sunday is our big Carol Service - the last proper service of the year - we meet Christmas Day for a very informal hour. It just ( Read more... )
