    Thanks everyone for al your lovely thoughts and good wishes for today...

    It was a gruelling and hideously hard interview.... But...........

    I GOT THE JOB!!!!!! :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j :j
    Still a little dazed!

    But I'm going to be advising young people about their sexual health. Oooerrr, I think it was my ability to talk about that stuff without being the least bit embarrassed that swung it! My funniest moment was when they asked me what I'd been doing for the last 17 years??
    Working my @ss off being a mum! :rotfl:
    Gotta be CRB checked now, and trained. So it'll be a few weeks before I start.

    Ended up doing studying today so not as much PC time as I thought, so a quick catch up again. Goodness what a hectic week. I need to plan stuff for DS1s school review tomorrow yet. I've thrown washing in/out when possible today until airers etc are full (had to bring in off line when it snowed!!! how dare it!!!) Oh I cleared all of the doggy dos and some litter from the garden that had wandered in this morning too so it's ready to cut the lawn when the weather behaves!

    Pigpen well done!!!
    mumofjusttwo that's shocking, sorry to hear that
    AnW'sMum well done
    Mudbath happy to help :) hope it made sense
    SarahS [strike]hope it went ok [/strike]crossposted, WELL DONE!!!

    caravans getting fixed week before Easter hols :D so been ringing round sites but might be too late for Easter :( booked Keilder for May half term tho :) getting myself a list together when I have time for summer possibles. Over the summer I want to go here http://www.holgates.co.uk/ expensive but WOW looks so nice, so will be on my 'phone up' list!

    Right I must go get these notes done and remove the books from my bed so I can sleep in it :o I promise when things calm I will get back on track....house is a tip, clean but a tip!

    Good night all xxx

    Oh my no spend/waste challenge, I haven't been to a shop again until today when I got eggs (did a roast dinner with cooked meats from freezer and kids wanted yorkshires!!) I'm realising just how much we had in!! Saved myself some cash too :D one confession however we do get milk delivered so that's taken care of.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Our spare room is used by the inlaws when they come to stay - very frequently.

    Also use the wardrobe for hoarding their crap..sorry, storing their essential items.

    I'm itching to hoy it all in bags and take it to the charity shop, but OH says no.

    Contented myself with re-homing a few items in the bin - tatty old shoes, almost empty shampoo bottles. grr.

    My house is virtually clutter free so v frustrating

    [strike]Fill a box with junk from the floor[/strike] and sort it to its rightful place! wanted to leave the sorting as CBA however, for my first day as a flylady, I need to get rid of that attitude, plus I wanted my star, so all done now :D
    Level Three
    [STRIKE]Sort through a cupboard of clothing[/STRIKE] -kind of doing this bit by bit for my 101 in 1001 challenge here, so if I can't make a new outfit out of something, or it is too small etc. when I try it on, it gets charity-bagged. Excitingly most of my things hae been recycled into new outfits so I feel like I have a whole new wardrobe. Straightened my Tshirt shelf though :o

    1. [strike]Binbag dance:rotfl:[/strike]
    [strike]Reshuffle any shelves
    [/strike] - feel great about this as I had a major purge of CDs - one pile for the bin, one pile for music magpie, one pile for my car, 8 cds left :) shelf space available :T

    de-clutter purse

    Wonderful Wednesday - done!:D
