   We're all sitting here at work, taking a couple of calls per half hour....playing monopoly and waiting (impatiently) for the the rumoured hot cross buns.
 What's everyone else up to today?

   Joshie is watching Blues Clues, while I simultaneously natter on here and make lasagne for dinner (always tastes better when its cooked earlier and heated at serving time!).
 DP is in Rotorua with his big kids at a sailing regatta.

   Debating over trying to get some more sleep, and doing the housework.  The sleep is def more appealing, but I can't quite justify going back to bed at this hour of the morning.  And the housework is prob more important as I have had washing on the couch for the last 4 days to be folded   mmm maybe I should eat first...

   Wow Bizzy what a great sleep.
 We are just having a lazy day, Ben is bored already and is pacing the house like a lion haha so we might end up going somewhere.

   I'm sitting at home, trying to overcome the worst nausea I've had for about a week, trying to write a really boring essay on risk assessment (my last for my postgrad cert and due in just over a week so need to get my a into g), watching Cam play with his new lego ('our' easter bunny brings toys in lieu of eggs!) and listening to dh and Gemma clean up downstairs. 
Saw your pics from yesterday Paws - you all looked quite warm! Did you get lots of eggs?

   I'm expressing some milk for Emma and then we're heading out for coffee & brunch. Not too sure about this afternoon, probably we'll spend some quiet time playing with Gina at home    |

   Does anyone know if pak n save is open today? We need to go shopping, but I don't want to take a 30 min (each way) walk to find out... their site is useless.    |

   Sweet, thanks. It's mike's birthday this week and he wanted to go clothes shopping on Saturday. We didn't end up making it to the supermarket as it is REALLY hard to find two pairs of size 75 mens jeans to suit a fussy guy. I wish he was an 85 or something... ended up with 1 75 and 1 80 which will need to be held up with a belt    By the time we found them Seb was grumpy and I was tired!

 Be glad you didn't come! Didn't find a sodding one...only got the freebies at the end. *sigh*  Better than nothing I suppose.

   I'm at work too, I've broken up some boxes, found the floor in the store room, moved some stock out to send back to stores, done a quiz for the patients for a chocolate fish and now just contemplating when to have lunch so the afternoon is not too long.  Feel like we are the only people alive in wellington hospital as none of the other departments are open and we have had to sort out a taxi to get some supplies down to us for tomorrow.  Other than that i have tried very hard not to scratch my nitty head   |
