so the mad dash world that i am living in has not slowed down. the workshops in aberdeen were very good as was the one on thursday. the management awayday also went well and despite my concerns about having to each my lunch on my own they all seemed to still to be talking to me by the end of the day. amazing considering i was talking about restructuring.

this weekend i am working again - its the only way i can keep up and i am really annoyed because i overslept and missed the fitness swim session. the try dive is booked and i am really looking forward to it.

we get our payrise at the end of fed and i have to say mine appears to be too good to be true, but i need it so that i can the place fit for selling and then move - best news is i have found a 3 bed end of terrace to move to - its rented but that suits at the moment. it is a huge house and it will be nice to have a fire station just down the road lol.

next week is busy again although not quite so bad as this. parents evening on tuesday (really not looking forward to that) and then off to cardiff on thursday afternoon. i am out drinking on tuesday and off to york for the day on wednesday. that is not a good combination methinks. i have a friend who is determined to set me up with someone - so she has invited a mate of hers along tuesday.

its the boys birthday tomorrow - he has personalised trainers a ralph lauren hoody and another superdry jacket. but lucky him he is playing rugby tomorrow against basildon - it is the quarterfinal of the essex cup - so i hope they win although the last time the two teams played there was an altercation. hey ho lets hope they win.
