Major congrats Luc,.,. really really pleased for you!
I had another interview today lol.. I am feeling the shop one and todays one which is office based both went really well and i could be torn between the 2 should i be offered.
Also had to go to the shop to pick up an app form before my second interview tomorrow.. looks a nice little place bit on the quiet side but thats not always a bad thing
Ah well lets hope that luck rubs off!! well done once again xx2025 Wins ::

Well Done Lucielle - Well deserved I'm so chuffed for you.
Don't worry about the prob period that would only be a problem if you weren't upto the job and I' sure you will be.

First day done. 5 hours sat in front of a computer screen, you'd think I'd be used to it the amount of time I spend on here.
Managed an hours help at a friends and possibly again in the morning so that should be a few extra pennies. 2 loads of washing on the line and a few bits that needed hand washing also done. DS2 taken to party and DD1 is going out shortly after she's done her homework to be collected later.
We are all going out to a 60th BBQ later so I've got some sausages out the freezer and bread rolls. My friend asked if I would make a quiche which I did last night and OH is going to get some beer. He will be on call and will have to stay sober. Children are a bit disappointed as we could've camped but for 1 night I'm really not up for it. OH would have to up and go into work and I have to go and 'help' my friend at 10 so don't fancy doing battle with 12 man tent (it looks like the tele tubby house when its up). Also DS1 has been off with a cold (told him its not pig wig flu). I rest my case for not camping.
This week I've got DD2s birthday on Wednesday so will have to bake on Tuesday.
I'm hoping a friend will come over 1 night this week to try and get our ebay shop up and running as I feel that its just floundering at the moment. We are using auctiva to help with the running and getting the profiles set up is proving to be hard work. Enough rambling, time to go and play in the garden.
Before I go, I got 1 of those paper log makers off ebay so I might go and play with that as well.

You sound like you've had a productive day Lucielle! You'l have to let us know how you go with the paper log-maker - friends of mine have a real fire and I was telling them about those.
Sounds like we'll be organising a barbeque-type party later in the year - we were talking to two of the neighbours this morning about organising something for our little block during the summer - and they were up for the idea, so I shall get going on it.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

Got 2 buckets of ripped up newspaper soaking outside. Will probably 'make' them on Monday depending on the weather. Then I need to find somewhere to put them so they can dry.
Going out shortly, will have to get beer en route as Oh forgot.

Excellent evening only slightly tipsy so not feeling poorly today. Children thought I was funny last night! OH disappointed I'm not hung over but I hate being ill so I know when to stop.
Going to work shortly the DD1s friend is coming over and they are getting dropped off in the village later on. DS1 is off on his bike to his friends so in the end I will only have 2 chaps at home.
Need to get the hoovering done when I get in and then I'm off in the garden as its lovely. Hopefully the couple of hours I do at my friends will pay later in the week.

Another day at the office done. Hark at me! Been really busy tonight, taken children to scouts, delivered rest of Avon, bought ingredients for DD2s birthday cake, made cake and sorted some paperwork. Now waiting for bath to fill up. Oops, almost forgot also made a quiche for our lunches this week.
Not in work tomorrow as its the childrens lesson and then back on Thursday. OHs shift pattern is changing, so until I know how its going to run I can't organise DD2s party. I think she wants a swimming one which is really easy to do. Bath and buubles now ready.

Have to get organised for the rest of the week,
Avon order to do
Avon books to sort
meal plan (sort of)
Might also have a couple of hours extra work on Thursday night.Total Debt Dec 07 £59875.83 Overdrafts £2900,New Debt Figure ZERO !!!!!!:j 08/06/2013
