    Toots - can I ask a question?

    What is the listing in your signature - 'Jobs done - followed by a list of numbers.....

    Just curious......Me
    Hi it started as a list of 80 jobs that I had been meaning to do/put off/ never found time to start/ projects to finish/ etc etc so I listed them in a notebook and the flyladies were picking a number for me so that i wasnt doing the easy ones all the time - so those are the jobs done so far - it ground to a halt for a couple of reasons and when i was getting treatment but I am back working on one - its just like the weekly challenge except I already have all my jobs listed (and lots more!!)
    hope that makes sense!!!
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    ooh go me! I have just shredded loads of divorce paperwork...while I sorted out passport/driving licence/birth certificate to prove my ID at the interview. Thats the trouble with filing cabinets - you keep filing stuff in them.
    ***ponders***shall I take my certificates?

    Valli at my interview, I needed my CRB check, my degree certificates and a photo ID. I didn't have my CRB check with me, and had to go back the next day with it, as legally they are not able to offer you a job without seeing it.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Good morning!

    It's raining here at the moment, not good washing weather at all.

    Magnificent Monday ~Crabby kitchen!
    :j:jALL DONE:j:j

    Did the cat food/bag & foil/cereal/medicine cupboard yesterday, it looks much better. I have some out-of-date medicines to take to the chemists when I nip out later & some 'senior' cat food that I bought for our older puss who sadly died in Feb. Our other cat is too young for it so I will either Freecycle it or drop it off at the RSPCA shelter on Thurs.

    New Weekly Challenge...

    Right you each have to think up 5 jobs you want to get done THIS WEEK.. not this century.. this WEEK!!

    Glad to see we're back online, I missed you all last night :D

    Still I can start Mondays list today as yesterday was my bathroom day...yes I do live in topsy-turvy land........

    Feeling very tired today, ds3 slept badly ,as he is a bit worried about high school and his brother being away, as we staggered into school this morning we looked a right pair :o

    Anyway there's much to do and somewhere there must be the energy to help me do it....glad to see that caffiene has just been proven to stop the onset of Alzheimers in rabbits, off to conduct my own human research on this..............
