    :hello:Hi sexymouse, just a quick note to say your absence was felt! It sounds like you have been very busy - I cannot make toad in the hole at all - I think my oven doesn't get hot enough to cook the batter properly. Fingers crossed that some work turns up for you this week, although you look like you have quite enough to keep you out of mischief!

    Off to have a cup of tea and some toast - never bother with dinner on Sunday as had a huge lunch (mmm if Jill is watching, I just toyed with a little lean chicken and some lightly steamed vegetables..;).)
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Kids are great aren't they....If it helps, at least she asked! My friend's little one told her that it was absolutely vital that she have a Wii so that she could also have Wii fit to get some exercise. (she's 6!)

    What ever happened to riding a bike to get some exercise?!

    serena - all the clocks in my school have hands as do all the clocks in my house (except for my alarm clock, the clock on the video and my phone!) And all 3 of my watches! Maybe I'm unusual :confused:;):p

    Off to do the HHI now ..........

    Evening all :hello:

    I'm going to try and be in this week, but I really need to start scheduling proper study time otherwise I'm going to fall behind major style with my OU & NVQ work. Looked for jobs for me (as an idea of the salary I'd be on being a level 2 I think...) and it looks like £14k ish... but I can only currently find jobs in Wigan, not any suitable for me in Liverpool :rolleyes: Oh well I'll keep looking.

    Now I need to get on with ebay parcels - didn't get around to them yesterday and was too busy finishing all my i*oning today ;) DD has sold about another 3 batches of stickers so they're going to have to be my first priority so I can get back to anyone who has ordered ones that have already sold (I haven't had a chance to update the listing :o )

    Best shift myself.... :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
