    *Blushes and remembers never to PM cally again* Nah not really, I'm happy to help:o

    Haven't done much this morning yet, had a shower then scrubbed taps and things, chucked bleach down the toilet, checked my german essay which I'm printing right now, got 2 lectures then going to pop to Mr T, do phonecalls and finish my lists.

    Happy Birthday Triker!
    Justamum I agree, I literally did this :eek: when I read Penny's post.
    Lots of hugs to everyone

    Morning everyone.

    Managed to get 2 shifts off next week so I can do the training for the new vol job. I really do not want to be at my full time job now. I do for the clients if you know what I mean but Im sick of gossips, long hours and people making the job harder than it is.

    Off to do a bit of flying before I go see mum. Kitchen needs finishing off and will do Bathroom tonight when I get up.

    Hugs for everyone.

    Happy Birthday Triker:bdaycake:

    Good luck Jo
    Remember we are standing beside you

    Sorry Jo... I'm a bit late - hope you don't get into trouble with some of us turning up after you've started work :p

    Toots - your mattress doesn't necessarily need to be turned. Mine is very difficult to do, so I don't do it every week now (and if I have visitors, they get to help me!)

    Rach - I've got everything crossed that you hear about the interview today!

    Happy Birthday Triker!

    The weather is miserable here again - grey and overcast. I'm finding it really draining... I've got no get up and go. The reflexologist has also suggested increasing my iodine intake as my thyroid is a bit sluggish. I suppose it can't hurt, so I'll go the healthfood shop and get some seaweed later today.

    I really MUST clear the utility room enough to do some more laundry :o
