    Had to laugh at this one as i always see essential and desirables on Job applications:rotfl: I expect it is playing on your brain now.:o
    it feels far too natural to think like this - it's a bit of a worry :rotfl:
    Have you got a fan in the room?

    No, I've got the window next to me open. I have a cool house which is great in the summer. It's a booger to get warm in the winter though. I will be able to work until around 3.30 when the sun will be hot on me even with the curtain closed as i'm right next to the window so will work up to then and then perhaps do a bit of dusting.

    God, I lead an exciting life :rolleyes:

    BB I need a tour manager.

    I'm trying to book this waterside place in weymouth from 30th July for 5 or 6 or 7 days :) But it's giving me a headache. I thought I found a website which actually let me check availability but it turned out to be some place in Paynton.. oops. Then I thought I wonder if I can use clubcard deals because I've got loads of those. Why can't everything just be simple and in one place :D

    Cleaning the loo is looking much more applealing right now:rotfl:


    edit: I phoned them in the end, the stupid internet was doing my head in. The woman is calling me back tomorrow because she might have a cancellation. The dates would be from the 1st to the 8th but I might not stay the full week if Fran ends up joining me for a few days.

    It's a site easier booking a trip to the states I can tell you.

    Clean toilet and bathroom (I hate this job - bottom of the list!):o


    plus the normal stuff - make the bed, do the washing up, put the dry pots away, put the rubbish out.

    Well, i'm pleased that I managed to do all the stuff on my 'Essential' list by lunchtime today :D I packed up my CD's and they have gone off to Music Magpie, let's hope they play ball and send the money.

    Whooshing everywhere today. This is the first time I've stopped since I got up at just gone 7. I'm teaching tonight and I'm being observed by 1 person for my annual graded observation (first time this has happened since starting teaching last September as have just come off probation) and am being observed by someone else at the same time for my teaching ability and adherence to equality and diversity for my teacher training. So, 2 folders of paper work and see how it goes really.

    Still not heard about the job - getting to the stage where I think they are being a bit rude. I guess the successful person is still thinking about it :confused: but it's almost a week now since the interview and as I work within the same organisation I think it's a bit of a poor show.

    I think my tax and MOT are both due at the end of July _pale_ Not good. Not good at all.

    I've got to clean my bathroom too BB, I might do it in the morning after the kids go to school, that way it stands a chance of still being clean when Sammy gets here. kids and bathrooms are a horrible mix.

    Good luck with the observation tonight.

    I didn't hear from the holiday people so I guess there isn't a cancellation after all.
