I am taking some much needed quiet time this morning. One of the downsides of working with children is that they carry all sorts of nasty germs and bugs. Having refused to give in to the latest one, I have been feeling wobbly for the past two weeks. Life has been hectic and so today it feels like a real luxury to just stop for a couple of hours. A fine cup of coffee, a delicious onion bagel and cosy cat love is plenty to keep me going.

I bought my first item from ebay this week. (I know I am *SO* behind the times) What a trauma that has been! I needed Matt and Anthony to hold my hand throughout the process as I tried to decipher what various mistimed emails from the seller meant. I have spent many a sleepless night worrying about it. I don't think I will become addicted to Ebay, I can't stand the stress of it all! They tried to deliver the goods yesterday but I was out. Sadly it was not the delivery address I had specified but still, at least it is a real object and I will have it in my hands on Monday. Hopefully.
