HUGE gaff by one of Scotland's larger daily papers today. The Herald published its online front page from 23 January 2003 :-))
All other pages seemed to be fine, but denials from Saddam that he has no WMDs kinda gave it away.

Just finished a training course at work (Understanding Project Management). Was very good - although I'm not sure whether I can absolutely say that I understand project management, nor project managers!

However, good thing is, my group couldn't think of an appropriate work-related project to use as an example, so they used our upcoming building work (putting in an extra shower room) as one. Now I have a complete project plan for the whole thing :-)) Time estimates, critical path, risk evaluation - Fantastic.

Now all I need is the money :-(

Been shut out my own home (well, almost). For the last few days, workmen have been knocking down part of my house, and I can't use the rooms!!
OK, I may be exaggerating a little, but we are having a fireplace moved form the bedroom to the living room and everything is covered up to stop the plaster dust getting everywhere.

No TV (Jamie is not pleased), no Computer (I am not best pleased) - and they are going to be there for the rest of the week :-o Can't stand it.

On the upside, the front room should look great when finished and warm :-))
