    rosepink you have my sympathy
    Turns out he's not at the corner shop, he's at the supermarket 7 miles away. For bread and milk and a chocolate bar? What's the point of that?

    Mine does that too! But it is only 5 miles to the co-op from here. Don't they understand that the 10p they save on the bag of bread is lost because the petrol costs more.:mad:

    Hi Everyone,

    As only started on Wed, ended up doing this a bit AFE, have had to forego some of Wed & Thurs (don't need to do Friday cos only got one room, ha) as the kitchen was badly needing done. So have done the kitchen, apart from some dishes but having a sit down just now, and have also done two loads of washing, in between going to the gym, supermarket, working! Phew I am knackered!

    Have a nice weekend everyone, hope to complete Level 1's for Wed & Thurs, tomorrow x

    Progress seems to be a bit slow this week... Anyway, I've done most of my shopping (just need to go to the village shop for bread, yogurt etc tomorrow morning), and been for a 6 mile walk in the rain. I've got a load of laundry on (gym kit, walking stuff and a few other bits). I now need to put away the washing up I did last night and do some meal planning/cooking before my dad arrives. Oh yes, and AF has arrived. Admittedly on time, which is nice, but she's making her presence felt, so all I want to do is have a hot bath and lie on the sofa with a hot water bottle!

    I've had feedback on my CV, so I MUST update it today and get another application or two in, as I heard on the grapevine yesterday that I'll definitely be seeing management consultants coming to annoy me and my team very soon... and quite frankly, if they think they can do the job better than me they're welcome to it... :mad:
