    Good Night All - I'm All done today

    I have never got two stars in one week so rather chuffed. Ex OH moving out has made life so much easier. Will be a few weeks before I get a star for any of the bedrooms though. But it's all heading in the right direction.

    DS even helped me sort through his DVD's and games this morning and allowed some to go to the charity shop. This is a MAJOR breakthrough......

    I'm off for an early night with a copy of Good Food Mag I decluttered from my Mum's house. It's so nice to be cooking and eating the food I want to eat. Being single has a lot of benefits.

    Valli - that was a good sale! What was it?
    It was a 1930's (judging by the style of the artwork) sweetie tin!

    s'not off topic - it's ACE decluttering - what a result - buys it for 50p and flogs it for £13.50; which will pay for half a tap in the grand Valli bathroom refit and is VERY moneysaving so there ***stamps foot***

    Ok i have done two loads of washing and no leaks so i guess it was just a freaky accident.

    Anyone applied for a job at tesco before

    http://www.tesco-careers.com/user/custom/assets/pdf/tesco-application-form-2-updated.pdf

    Have a look at page More about You.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Sorry Pigpen i know this is off topic but i really need this job.

    Other things to do...

    GARDENING!!!
    Scales for Zoe
    Set up mastercard DD
    Clear utility room junk
    Decide what to do about kitchen curtains
    Choose side table for kitchen
    Tip
    Post Delia books to Jo - packed and ready to go :D
    Make & freeze cake sponge for next week (10" round?) & check for drum
    Pressure-wash patio


    Make proper money-spending list and start getting quotes :D
    File the additional paperwork found when looking for bubblewrap earlier :rolleyes:

    Do the ironing before it needs washing to get the creases out...

    Today's cake is in the freezer (apart from the leftover bits, they'll go in tomorrow... I'll have to make a big trifle sometime...), and the kitchen has been decrumbed. I've been to the reflexologist and had something to eat while catching up on here. Suppose I should get ready for the gym tomorrow and make my bed!

    ETA Quillion - there are no right or wrong answers to the test, it depends on what kind of person they are looking for at the time. Answer it honestly and you (hopefully) will end up in a job that suits you.
