    Right I'm off to the shower cos I smell - one of the downsides to exercising. :rotfl:

    Evening!
    How did SSL interview go? Sorry, i've not caught up with the thread. Just got in after a fab day out in a friend's garden. Both children and myself showered, all clothes in the washing machine, guinea pigs and hamster cleaned out (DD did that and I vacuumed all upstairs), tea cooked. Just about to put their lights out and then start on some of my list. What I don't do now will be finished tomorrow.

    That's what I'll do then
    At the moment I am cleaning the kitchen window (I must be psychic I thought it'd be the kitchen) because I was swatting fruit flies and have wiped them off now. I found the damaged fruit that was attracting them - a split pear in a punnet.

    How did SSL interview go?

    Still waiting to hear Mudbath. I was told it would be either this afternoon or tomorrow. The interview went very well, but I dont think I've got it as due to my recent illness. In fact, my manager told me a couple of weeks ago 'let's be realistic, no one is going to take you on at them moment.' Nice eh? Well, I may be mad, but I am highly capable and will plot lots of mischief on my return if I dont get it :D
