Evening!
Have just finished on line shop for Mr T - so we can eat tomorrow!!
Level 2 just about there - so I can't put the ironing off any longer!

Aim to do half hour - then stick the stuff away, hopefully by then it will have cooled down a bit!

Tomorrow's plan involves a morning at work, DS orthoptist appointment to see if his eyes are still very wonky or have improved to slightly less wonky, DD2 birthday and level 2 in kitchen :eek:

OK - I'm off in search of ironing board. I may be some time......!

Ironing done!! yipeee

Party lights assembled took an hour, so much for the instructions saying easy!

Evening all!

Am having my first night back as work, and actually, it's not as bad as I thought, though it's a bit strange not putting the girls to bed.

It's lovely having uninterrupted MSE/FB/forummy time though!

As a result, I didn't get too much done today, so will try to be ultra motivated tomorrow!

See you tomorrow night! xx

REDMADCURLS

Now you all know I rant and rave about my DH untidiness..............down right slovenly actually .

Well today the builder said 'Your husband is the messiest/most disorganized person I have ever met'

I rest my case!

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

That's what I like to hear....why get mad when you can get even!!!

Afternoon ladies and welcome to our newbies :wave:

Thank you for all your good luck wishes re the interview. I should find out today or tomorrow. It went really well, but I'm not the bookies favourite

tootifrooti - I do go in being really positive and enthusiastic, but I have been off long term sick with stress and depression for the past 6 months, so I just dont think anyone will take me on just now. I should add that this is an internal, temporary post and there were 7 candidates including myself. I had a great interview a couple of months back, it was only me and one other. The other person got it. Thats the first time in 10 years I've been unsuccessful at interview. I'm usually unsuccessful at shortlisting :rolleyes: Never mind, I'll find out soon enough. In any case, I'll be back at work 3 weeks today as today is my last day on the sick and I start my annual leave tomorrow. More importantly, it means I'm back on full pay tomorrow :j

Anyway, not planning on doing too much flying just now as its too hot. G&B, I cant believe the difference in the weather between here and Edinburgh. I got off the bus and everyone here is wandering about in shorts and tees. I was freezing in Edinburgh! Just jump on a 47 and visit me

I've waffled too much (thought that about the interview as well ) Time for my afternoon nap xx

HI SSL
I am so sorry I didnt mean to offend you - me and my big feet (well only 4's actually) - I was jusy trying in my own stupid way to give you some encouragement. I am sorry to hear that you have been off work so long - have been off with depression in the past too and it didnt stop me getting a new job when I went back to work- in fact I think I used it in interviews to say how I had come through the experience and was a stronger person blah blah blah ....
I will keep everything crossed for you until you hear.

Hi

I finally managed my list. i didn't want to though i seem to have lost all motivation at the moment.

Have done my shopping as i had no food at all well i did but no fresh stuff:rolleyes: . I bet it cost me a lot more than usual having both Ds's with me.

Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces

Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc
Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances .. don't forget those kick boards..
Clean out your mankiest kitchen cupboard.. mine is the baking cupboard.. what is yours?
Extra Mission : help yourself

1. Run the WM through 'clean cycle'.. hottish wash with a splosh of vinegar, soda crystals bleach.. whatever you fancy just clear those pipes of gunge!
2. Wipe down any tiles and shine those taps.. a toothbrush is great for cleaning away the gunk!

It isn't the children that are being pains.. lol

The floor shall be tackled big time them... and everyone can blame you!!

toottifrootti

OOOOOOh thanks pigpen - but dont be too hard on me will you pleeeeese? There is only me to blame - the bedroom has always been my dumping ground - it has boxes of ebay stuff piled in it as I need to sell it and if its in the shed then I forget about it but it may have to go back there and be worked on from there ....somehow.
Every time someone was coming I did major room rescues and stashed it all the bedroom!:eek:
I have a double bed but half of it nearly always has stuff on it!:rotfl:
I just need to schedule it into my day I think!!
