    Hi Ashbart, welcome along

    Hugs Pigpen, your DH sounds very annoying. Sounds like you need to let off steam, so please come and rant to us. Also, why do you do his washing? That’s mad, I wouldn’t do it regardless of whether he sees the children or not.

    Sorry you are so tired Broke. Try to take it easy and hopefully you will feel better later.

    Essex hope you had a nice holiday. Where did you go to?

    The thanks button is being VERY annoying, I may have to stop thanking or I will be here all day

    Hugs Mudders for you and for your dad

    Wassup Greenbee?

    Hope you and your DD feel better soon Tooch

    Hi Gingernut, welcome, you’ll like it here it’s fun! I'll put a :xmastree:so that Pigpen and Toots see you

    I'm going to hoover the armchairs before my nap

    Afternoon everyone!

    Sorry I wasn't there to start off the HHC I'd asked everyone to join me in - I rang the school where I had the interview before the holidays to book an appointment to get my feedback, and they said the head was free at 10am. It takes me 30 mins to get there so I just left straight away, and even forgot to turn off the PC. Then I had a lovely chat and a cup of tea and doughnut with LadyL on my way home, and have just got home and eaten some lunch.

    I'm going to see if I can get some of my list done whilst watching neighbours, as that's about 30 mins long. So my HHC will start at 1.45, so I'll see you all at 2.15 to announce what I've done.

    The feedback was really good - it was just a couple of questions that I didn't anwer as fully as I could have done, and to be honest, I don't think I would've got the job anyway as the lady they took on had done supply there for 2/3 years so knew the school etc. He said that they only interviewed 3 people and I really was a very close second, and that if a job comes up there in the future he'd definitely like to interview me again. He wished me luck for future jobs, and said that if there was anything he could do for me in the future, to let him know. I left feeling really positive, so will have a look at the job websites this avo.

    Right best get on an find my list:

    Monday - Living pit, hallway, stairs!!
    Level One
    [STRIKE]Declutter the floors![/STRIKE]
    Vacuum floors & stairs!
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]dust over all the electrical appliances[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Vacuum under the furniture you can safely move![/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean the sofas[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    Declutter the inside of a cupboard or drawer!
    [STRIKE]Sort out coats and bags and shoes[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Dust mantle and polish any display cabinets or bookshelves etc[/STRIKE]
    Extras
    1. Wipe and water the plants
    2. [STRIKE]Wipe the dusty paintwork[/STRIKE]
    3. Get a pile of filing done!!

    PS Thank you very much for the magazines greenbee - they arrived today when I was out, so it was a lovely thing to find when I got home.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    pigpen for pity's sake could he not have given you warning that is sooooooo unfair -but like you said he is the one that will suffer - but why on earth are you doing his washing for him anyway?:confused:yes its a pity DS is away but the weeks are ticking away so you only have to cope until they get back and DS will be another pair of hands to help out now and then. I expect that LR will be gleaming with you attacking it in a fury!!

    toots xx

    Wot she said.
    Feel free to rant whenever you need to. Much better than bottling it up.

    Something not right - it's our local holiday and we have warm sunshine :rolleyes:
    So any flying will be done in the garden before it changes its mind.
