Good evening everyone.

Quick post to say all dailies done and little else.

I went to work this morning, did 2 hours of observations, set up laptop on site , to do referencing, sharing a table with a Nurse Assessor who was on site as well, but the headache I had brewing developed into a migraine very quickly. One of my candidates came in and asked if I was OK, shortly after, I had to run to the loo feeling sick, then she called the nurse-in-charge to see me and they sent me for a rest. After 20 minutes I decided I'd be better off at home! (Everyone had been telling me this). I'd text my colleague and my line manager, but not had a reply.

Also just read announcement in 1st post!

I drove home in a haze, and felt very dizzy when I got out of the car. DS had to help me take my boots off and I went to bed and slept for 2 hours, then got up and had a bath. Headache's eased and I've reloaded the tumble dryer, but DH had to make dinner when he got in. He'd been up since 5.30 and he's up tomorrow at 4, with a night out.

Off to catch up a bit!

All I did today is put a load of washing on and do some washing up. I say only, but everytime I got out of bed I thought I would faint, so I'm amazed I did that much! Am feeling better than yesterday, so hopefully I will feel up to doing more tomorrow!
Night all

This is probably an utterly stupid question but are soda crystals safe to use in an acrylic bath? I want to soak my oven shelves and doors in a bath of hot water and soda crystals but am terrified of damaging the bath tub.

i will be putting on a wash later.....im just so tired today, I completed my ucas application form today in tech....I sat for 2 hours making sure everything was perfect and the course tutor asked my politely to go home as I looked very unwell:(...felt it too!! ah well, the garage is done and the trust are coming out on friday to lift all DHs equipment that he used when he was at home....sad really, but someone else needs the hoist and its silly being here stuck in the garage!!

Why is DH such a child? He now doesn't want any tea because he had a go at DD and I told him to cool it! Bearing in mind DD had been out since yesterday teatime and he'd only just picked her up!

Juliejim - I've got one of those, too! Have a (((((hug)))))

well, could have been worse!
i'll do the recycling tomorrow morning when i drop the kids at nursery (6hours NO kids :j ) - i'll go to aldi/lidl for a few things which are cheaper there and i will also have a look at our tesco extra if they have the 1tb harddrive storage for £70.
AND i'll have a look if i could get an hour at our gym (just payg, bodycombat sounds interesting!) - haven't done anything in absolutly ages because i have the kids and oh is on a silly shift pattern- and i really miss it!!

will attack the mealplanner whilst watching tv
kids have been very good today, i guess spending some quality time with them does help :rolleyes: - so they could stay up a bit longer because they were playing with each other nicely fishing with improvised fishing rods over the stairs railing, then cooking the fish and serving me :rotfl:


zls don't even go there! i've been there and soon it will bother you (at least) - and it will just be more difficult to start all over again!
do little now and then - better than nothing!!! :grouphug:

trying to clean some gold coloured taps with the white vinegar trick and had a peek to see :eek: the taps are now black!!!!!!!!! :eek:

so.. have I ruined them .. or .. does this mean the process is working?? what is also worrying me is that the plug and chain (on the same sink) has come up great (been soaking the same time as taps) so I am con~fuddled! any help gratefully received! thanks in advance xx

Sorry Pash haven't a clue re your taps, hope they come out ok.
