    Soappie enjoy your mug, you sound as though you deserve it.

    Rosepink hoping you feel loads better soon.

    Have decluttered the accounts, watered the greenhouse and considered my position re: changing bedlinen...

    Am I very slow on the uptake or is Greenbee not living in the country at the moment?

    Been outside all day with 11-14 year olds, charming all of them, but I am a dimwit and got sunburnt after all my nagging...d'oh!

    BHE so is it like the manuals they do for each other on wife swap?

    Toots - the manicure sounds lovely - well done Jo!

    Greenbee, there must be something wrong with their algorithm! If you decided to walk it, I could be your support vehicle! :D

    Exactly... so soappie would need a boat as well as a car... :rolleyes:

    Jo - I've PM'd you...

    The job is one in Surrey - it's a consultancy role, which might be interesting... I like telling people what they're doing wrong, how they should be doing it, and then leaving them to sort it out! It's early days yet... I've worked out that its likely to take me 6 months to find a job, based on the salary/ts&cs I want, and if the restructuring at work continues at the same snails pace, I should be OK financially. I do also have savings/mortgage overpayments etc which mean I could survive if necessary, although if I haven't got anything by the time I'm off the payroll I'll probably book myself into language school or go off travelling/volunteering before restarting my job search!

    Good luck for tomorrow for both Valli & Fedup... at the end of the day, it's useful experience. (Did you get my email Valli?) The fact that you've got as far through the process as you have is great in itself!

    Right... off to put the risotto away, find ice-cream and have a bath. I've drunk too much wine this evening :o so it's a good thing I don't have an early start tomorrow!
