:hello:Hi All
Good luck for the interview Candy, let us all know how it goes.
Got home last night and OH was in bed as had a headache and wanted a lie down, so I sat next to him on the bed and noticed some furry mould growing on the wall by the bed. Looked under the bed and we find it is right across the bottom of the wall, practically all the way across and grown quite high up - I cringe just thinking about it. The landlord should be in the flat with OH about it about now so I hope the landlord is going to sort it out. It's not just a little bit, it is loads. He tried telling us last night just to wipe it off unless we were concerned and wanted him to see it, so he is coming round. I'm worried for my health it's so bad!!!
Today:
Look up about mould
Things I didn't do from yesterdays list
More thinking on 101 list
Check emails
Free scratches
Lunch from home
Restaurant meeting tonight about rotas and stuff then off to OH's parents to use the internet
Check for mystery shops

Hi,
Tried to post earlier from work but as soon I typed my list it disappeared.
Anyhoo, hope Candy's interview went well. Yuck to the mold.
No ambitious plans for today as going to have Friday and Monday off from work to tackle all the stuff that needs sorting out. Just done my scratchies etc and will eat supper from what is in."Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."
