    Sexymouse sorry to hear the job didn't work out.
    Bargainbird congrats.
    Summermoon congrats for the new house and well done for deciding to quit smoking, my OH quit not last saturday but the one before don't know how he's done it. I've quit twice already this week and failed, completely disappointed but i know i'll get off them yet, may even try out some of them tips you were given.

    Right i better get ready for the school interviews, will update list when i come back.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Heya sugars,

    Well, I'm back from the god-awful works. Stocktakers are in and there's !!!!!! all to do, couldn't even work the delivery, never thought I'd hear the day I lament not working that...

    Well, must begin the flying, got my slow cooker on for my choken stock (first time I've made so hope it goes ok, want to make lots of yummy soup with it), and I need to make poppadoms and naans to go with tea. Plus really need to get the laundry done coz I've trashed my trouser for work crawling around the floor tidying up after the stockcheckers.

    Right, plan is HHC 3.15 to 3.45pm. Here we go....

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: OMG are you wonder woman in disguise
    lol, when I get going I am a fast cleaner. I put it down to years of working in labs and having to clean up after myself (not a good idea to leave radioactive stuff, spilled chemicals or cells lying around too long or in the wrong place!). Music also helps lol. I had swept the floor this morning so that was one thing already done but the rest I did do, honest! Our kitchen is not huge but big enough and the doors have intricate patterns in them too (DH chose them before we married- I would have chosen easier ones to clean lol).
    Actually might wipe DS's skirtings and do the bins- they need doing lol, before I knit (reshuffled his room this morning before taking him to class and there was some dust behind the cot- room was rearranged to stop him pulling curtains down and now he cannot reach them from his cot :D)
