Fedup- well done on the interview.
Jo -well done with the living room - are you happy with it now?

Day made worse this morning as sister rang just as leaving for work saying neices rabbit is dead - neice is 10 and she's had him 6 years, unlike some kids she never lost interest and always fed/cleaned him. She was hysterical, bless her. Well I rang boss and explained and said I would be 15 mins late as sis couldn't move/pick him up . Got an old plastic box and went down. We were both stood there with said box lined with black bin liner and rubber gloves on summoning up the guts to touch him. We chickened out and got a neighbour - big strapping lad - you wouldn't of known though!!
He said - 'why the f£ck do you think I want to touch him just cos I'm a man, I cried buckets when my hamster died!!'
Anyway he got our rubber gloves on and I held the box, he had rigor mortis and only just fit in, eyes open and everything, nearly dropped box in horror. Quickly covered him up. Couldn'y bury him as the dog would dig him up!! Vets would take the body but charged sis £10!!!
Neice has cried all day and night, but we are encouraging to get a guinea pig so she has something else to love.
Sorry not a flying post, but had to share xx

Evening all – hope you’re all ok! I’ve been rubbish at flying today. I had a really busy day at work, then I came home, went for a run, then did pilates, had a shower, got tea on, tidied the kitchen and I’ve now sat down! I did declutter the floor and put all the shoes in a cupboard. I will catch up at the weekend, because it normally doesn’t take too long to do the bedroom…my floordrobe is another matter… maybe that’s a challenge for the w/e…

My list of 5 things to do this week is:

1.Plant spring onions and rocket – will do on Saturday
2.Open new regular savings bank account – went to my bank today, but they were too busy to see me – don't they want my money!!!!
3.Do some sort of exercise every day – Done everyday so far!
4.Make lunch every day (not buy it at work) – done all week – I’m taking clients out for lunch tomorrow, so it’ll be covered. I’ve managed to persuade my colleague to that we should go to a new fish restaurant near the office (healthy!) rather than the usual Italian, where I can’t resist the pizza…
5.Eat healthily every evening this week! – done so far, but probably not tomorrow, as I’m out with family.

Back from waxing/manicure/pedicure. I'm all tidy now! And shattered... I'm 11000 steps short of today's target, and I haven't done the final tier of the wedding cake.

All I want to do is go to sleep - I have a gym appointment at 7am tomorrow as well, so have to get up early (and on Saturday... 8.30am haircut :rolleyes:). I think I'll be sleeping through the wedding at this rate...

Suppose I'd better find out what the arrangements are for tomorrow so I can plan my day and work backwards from there!

Great news on the interview fedup.

Valli - you'll be fine... I'm sure you can talk your way into the job!

Jo - well done on finishing the LR. Do you want to come round and paint my study now please?

Mudbath - sounds as if you must be pretty fit putting in that kind of mileage ever day!

soappie

Carlsberggal - sounds like you need some virtual hugs so am sending you some your way

Have managed 3962 steps since 4pm when I put the pedometer on just by pottering. It doesn't include walking the dog this morning. I am encouraged! Though I've already sort of broken it:o I went to the loo, pulled me trews down and the thing dropped off onto the floor and broke apart. Fortunately, I was able to put it back together again. I might just find the gaffer tape and properly secure it...

boddy
