    Have had quite a productive afternoon, cleared a MAJOR hotspot in the kitchen so much so that it is almost up to 'spot check a la piggers'! :rotfl: note I say almost lol there are a couple of things that still need doing but it is so much better than at the start of the week.

    Just don't look at the rest of the house :eek: ironing has all been done and I have an empty basket but I need to carry it all up stairs and distribute it to the various drawers/wardrobes etc. Will be satisfied just to move it upstairs for now.

    Dinner on the go, bacon, veg drizzled in butter yum. :D

    ETC Inspired by Jue I too laminated the kids certificates, had a nice lil pile of them all waiting to be done. Oh and Jue you have mail ;)

    OK... so when I rearranged the kitchen and utility room, where did I put the spare lightbulbs? There are LOADS of them, so I don't quite know why I can't see them :confused:

    It's just been postponed... the interviewer is travelling back from the US and apparently has to leave for the airport earlier than planned due to traffic problems. So it'll probably be Friday :rolleyes: Never mind, I might actually prepare now...

    Looks like the sun's coming out... just before it sets :rolleyes:. I might go for a quick walk before finding some food and getting myself organised for tomorrow.

    I'm picking my brother and SiL up from the airport at the crack of dawn tomorrow... I just have to remember why the alarm's going off!
