Thursday update...

So the team building thing yesterday went quite well but as per usual the evening quickly slipped into debauchery for some. It's as if free booze brings out the worst in some people and loosens their tongues in a way that is painfully embarrassing for the people involved!

West Wing is going really well - and despite much seeking (on advice from Zinnia) I have failed to find any kind of support group to help with the addiction. We'll just have to stick it out and watch it all the way until the end before going cold turkey.

On other news the house is kind of getting there. Upstairs should be finished (except for decorating and furnishing) by tomorrow afternoon. Windows are half way there and the flooring should (hopefully) get under way next week.

Our cats come home on Saturday (YAY) which will be a very welcome homecoming. I have missed them tremendously and can't wait to have their little purring machines back where they belong.

I promise to continue with the story soon - at least as soon as I can focus away from the tv long enough to reconstruct the memories accurately.
