and they grow up

Just some snippets of updates : got extension for University assignment - whoop.
Work went well and project completed on time.
Didn't do the midnight walk in Cambridge last night as I felt I'd been out all day doing gardening, and helping a friend so felt guilty I hadn't spent time with the dude. Not that I did spend much time with him as I fell asleep at 9pm on the couch watching National Treasure - doh!
Allotment looking good after all the rain.
Got more DVD's from the lovely Kerry and Disney - thanks for inviting us to London for filming the kids had an ace time and were very happy with the Disney vouchers. Rainforest Cafe - over-rated a little :( Harrods - weird place !

hmmmmm

It's been a busy week, very stressful too. Work is piling up in the office and the days left to test a new release is getting shorter. As you know I don't talk about my work on this blog but I thought it's been so stressful this week that I'd better blog about it. Not only do we have a new release of software to test, fix, and retest hopefully by the 22nd July I also have another assignment to have finished by the 20th and I've only just been able to start reading the Unit book :( That combined with the housework and it's all getting too much - I'd love to take some time off work to do my Uni TMA but I know that it wont be granted, so I'm guessing over the next 10 days I may be working long hours not only in the office but also catching up on uni work.

Could someone please make a day last a couple hours longer?

But some good news is that Lisa and Paul have just had another beautiful baby girl! Not only another home birth, with birthing pool, but a big baby weighing in at 8lb 11.5oz! A big congratulations to them both.

Right I'm off, ciao :)

why-waste

I forgot to mention where I got my brilliant waterbutts from - http://www.why-waste.co.uk/
Tess was absolutely wonderful, gave me some advice and helped put the barrels in the car too. I thoroughly recommend them! Not only recycling material but even if you add the price of adding a tap to the barrel, for less than £4, the whole thing costs about halfof what other DIY stores sell them for. Bargain :)
