Today is my last day before heading back to work. I'll have had eleven days off and done... errr... not a whole lot.

I semi-tidied my room, got my hair cut and went to the consultant. I went to Manchester and helped set up a CND Stall and shopped at the farmers' market. Had a look at Bar Plan B (but was too loud and noone else was coming because they wanted to go to The Manor - one of the most boring pubs in existence), went to a music festival at the lounge. Did some gardening stuff. Went back to Manchester with Mum. Tidied the house a bit.

OK, I am now officially on 11 days holiday. I celebrated the last day in work with two bastard cases during drop-in - w00t! I am, as previously mentioned, off work until 31st March, and what do I have lined up?

Well, today I have:

• an appointment with the consultant
• to try and arrange a haircut
• to try and tidy my room
• to finish off my second load of washing

OK, I booked off some time from work. something I am remarkably bad at actually doing. Due to work being shut for a period over Easter, I am looking at being workless from the evening of Wednesday 19th March to the morning of Monday 31st March. That's a nice long period of nothing at all planned.

If anyone wants to visit or would like me to visit them or has any other suggestions, let me know. It's that or see if I can complete a B5 marathon in the time (which I think Wendy'll veto).

Edit: My friend Bex is coming up for a few days at the end of the week. Yay!

So, I have some gigs etc. coming up which I want to make brief mention of as there may be some spare tickets to those wanting to join me/us.

Tonight - Reduced Shakespeare Company doing The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) at The Parr Hall. This is with my parents and grandparents.

Last night was Emma's birthday. The Hotpots were playing to celebrate WA1's (the venue) 5th birthday so we went to see them again. We started with a meal in Andalucia, a quick sortie to Friar's Court waiting for others to turn up before arriving at WA1 for about half nine.
