    Ooo.

    I’ve done and printed my homework (2days early *glow*). Made soup, cleaned furries cage, emptied kitchen bin and collected the bairns;)

    They have changed and are watching a movie. Still tired from the weekend I think...

    I’ve also called another charity about a volunteer placement, and they asked me to send my cv, so that’s a start. Things might just be looking up in that quarter!

  • He's swept the floor, cleared up the gibble from under the sofa and the WM is on!


    In the meantime, I have found out that the appropriate response to being told I am not permitted to wear steel toecap boots because they do not look attractive when moving or behind heavy equipment is not to shrug and reply 'fair enough, I'll just sue you if there's an accident and I get hurt, then'. :cool:

    I still have a job, however. :cool: And an automatic get out card for anything I don't feel like doing.


    Mmmm. Chicken Skeleton boiled in water for hours. Yummy. Soup for dinner tonight, I guess.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    I would like to apologise; I *may* have accidentally reported someone...fat fingers.

    Can't go to SW; have mislaid my book with my card in.

    Been to M&S; got some massive YS bargains - 2 packs of mini meatballs for 65 p each! Woot

    Went to doctors; cried when explaining what happened and why I panicked on HRT; mentioned it might be time for counselling; she agreed. Apparently, the hospice, just there *points* would have been my first port of call had my sister been a patient there; I'm going to try them anyway.

    Not allowed to wear steel toecap footwear? (sharp intake of breath) Gobsmacked.

    Good thing it's the kitchen today, I've been batch cooking :rotfl:
    Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas.

    Jojo, I have a pair of toe cap steel for when I am on building sites, but they look like trainers, the number of sites I have been told by H&S 'you're not come in wearing those' to which I replies please stand on my toes, then you will let me in, it always worked, and they did, but my 'trainers' really don't looked like toe capped. You would be able to wear some thing like that for your work.....................your bosses are ****

    Cat is sitting on top of me.

    Valli sorry to are having a tough time xx

    Beans on toast tonight.
