Well I just sent a scathing email to the nazi's at freecycle and deleted my membership.. they disgust me with their discrimination and double standards.. I'd rather throw things in the bin than deal with that!

Offloaded.. thank you.. lol.. off to feed the toads..

BTW whats the christmas tree thingy on the front page? Im sort of lost, doesnt take much at the moment. I worked out that in 1 month I have worked overtime of a week, and its only going to get worse. Plus im not going to get paid for it, instead i have to take it off as TOIL, and I already have 14 days of holiday to carry across to next year making a total of 39days holiday next year. Somethings not adding up here.

Anyway I hope the ill ones are getting better, and your bumps pigpen.
I must carry on with work...

Hiya
I've put everything that isn't in it's place on the dining room table. The table seats 8 and at the moment only one can sit at it!!! Quite a lot of decluttering to do. Spotty pup has helped...everytime she picks something up that she shouldn't have I put it on the table. I'm going to clear that by the end of the day then DH can clean downstairs.

I'm having a mini panic right now. I got the paperwork for next week so it all seems official now. I know it's what I need/want but I'm worried, not about the operation but about how i'll be afterwards. Oh well, nothing I can do about it is there. I'm trying to look at it positively and think of all the reading I can do but I know i'll get bored. Right, going to declutter the table so I stop thinking.

Hugs to all!!!

Aimee - that's a lot of holiday for next year....will they actually let you take it or don't you think they'll let you? Great if they do xx

All dailies done. :T Fudge made, my sister's vegetarian Christmas Dinner half made (will assemble it when I get back from college) and hedgehog made! Yeah! And the window cleaner's been.
