Today I am using up my final day's holiday from last year because I have to use them all by 31st March. I'm having my hair cut and going into town to buy bro a birthday present. Being off work is GREAT!!! Back tomorrow though

You'll probably have off an extra day in May (probably the 2nd bank holiday), as well as an extra one in August. We had the exact same thing when I worked at the University of Leeds and I never understood why either, I just smiled and accepted it

Not up to much exciting at the moment, working hard, gymming hard, though I did have 6 days off around easter which was most welcomed. Just counting the days till New York now. Yeah, nothing really exciting to report I kinda want to do some new things, I've got an itch to try things - need to clear my debts (nearly done now!) first though.

House full of sick people yet again. Don't know what's wrong with us all lately, seem to catch everything going, although I suppose with the kids at school and pre-school it's inevitable.

Cliff is ill too this time and it seems like the flu that he, Caitlin and Morgan have. Ethan and me seem fine so far, I have a cold but that's it, touch wood.

Did have plans to go out a lot as it's half term but haven't been able to so far, they've been ill since Friday too so missed out on Easter roast, I didn't bother making one as they couldn't eat. Still have temps of 104 too so if they aren't feeling better later I shall call the drs and see what they think.

It's all fun here.

We're living in the Plague House too, Georgie's got D&V and a really high temp (and won't take any Calpol), Josh was sick yesterday and Janet's just woken up feeling sick

I'm due back at work on Sunday after 2 weeks off. Bets on me coming down with it on Saturday?

It's horrible isn't it. I'm still waiting to catch it too, I hope I don't though because I really hate being sick, almost to the point of phobic. Caitlin was sick in the night again too.

Have you seen the medicine syringes? They are useful for getting medicine down a child who isn't keen, normally use them with Ethan.

We had a lovely bank hols weekend Friday went to Rob's parents to pick up his car which is now fixed (hurrah!) and went bowling with his mate and girlf and out to Prezzo - yum! I didn't get a strike but has numerous goes on DDR

Saturday drove down to my parents for a couple of nights, the beer festival was on, but was a bit of a washout and I didn't know anyone (shock horror!) met up with some friends for lunch on the sunday... other than that saw mum and dad who I haven't seen since Christmas which was looooverly because they fed us well with cake and food and desserts and packed us off with even more

Dave was in Dublin so didn't get to see him monday we drove home in the snow and surprisingly clear roads (we were lucky) and we both went out for a run to run off all the guilt of feeding our faces. (well me not him)

I got a little Lindt bunny and an Aero egg from mum and dad oh and shortbread from Rob's parents as I told them I didn't like choc hee hee!!!

Big hugs to the poorly people.... and boooooooooo to being back at work, but its wednesday so two more days left!

I'm currently sat in work, which for once isn't as bad as it seems. I'm the only technician in (potentially very bad) but as it's still half term we only have a few teachers in doing revision classes, and a very other clerical staff. I've already done all the work for the week pretty much, so all I have to do for the rest of the week is put up and take down projectors that are needed for each revision class (about 2-4 per day). With that all done, I'm now sat in a warm office, about to play Footy Manager 2008, while watching Mallrats via another computer. I has food and drink as well, so not a bad situation all around

Sounds like a productive day Davey I'm taking my Mum to hospital to visit her doctor and then I might clean my desk. I have 17 empty cans of coke on it. I reckon it'll only take a couple more before they over power me and if they take me there'll be no stopping them!
