    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.

    I helped BIL with this form when he applied for Tesco and he got the job. It's a bit like one I had to do for M&S. My only advise would be to think about the job that you are applying for then answer according to what you think they are looking for. E.g I had to put if I was good at motivating a team or giving good customer service and as the job I was going for was customer service and not management I put the customer service even though I have done supervisory work before.

    flyingwise...I have tidied DD2's bedroom and wardrobe and packed a few things for DD1 for her trip tomorrow. Got a iron a few shirts for DH so will get on with that then head to bed.

    Night all.

    This afternoon I finished putting the shopping away, and hung out the laundry.

    I am so tired this evening, I think I've over done it today! Really pleased with how well I've done today and yesterday. I think I might have a day off flying tomorrow - I'm planning to go out and will be having a rest afterwards

    Dolly, that sounds really nasty, hope your knee is better soon. Personally I would keep wearing skirts as the trousers might keep touching it and make it hurt more. If it’s a deep gash and keeps bleeding again maybe it needs stitches?

    Hugs Jenny, I really feel for you, such a worry about jobs and cars

    Wow Valli that’s great about your ebay item! I really must get round to do listing some stuff on there

    Notso, sorry to hear about your sleep apnea mask, how long will it take to get a new one?

    JennyBee how interesting about your shoulder, great that you know how to solve the migraine problem. I find massaging pressure points good for me when I’m getting a headache, I really want to get a Pain Gone, I love those, they are great

    My list for tomorrow

    Post 2 e bay parcels
    Find out how to get money out of Paypal a/c into own a/c:rotfl:
    do what I should have done TODAY (because was too busy watching e bay)
    do Wednesdays list

    Quillion I have pm'd you but would add the proviso that you do need to tailor the answers as Sunnygirl said eg team leader will have different answers to customer services;)
    re ebay it's their 10th anniversary so they're doing free listing but I don't know when it stops! It was for 10 days.

    DS tells me Martin Lewis (I believe he is somehow connected with this site) will be on The Gadget Show on ch 5 next Tuesday....

    Had a leaflet thru the door at 9 o clock this evening to tell me that it is only suspected asbestos in the demolished building and that the risk is minimal. Dunno about my herbs and plants in the back garden. Will have to go out early in the morning and hose everything down to wash away any dust.

    Right am off to bed. Early night for me, as I feel like carp. All snuffly and sneezing and a wee bit hot. So 2 co-codamols have been downed, and am off to bed with a pint of orange juice to try and stave off the thirst I know I will get in the middle of the night. Hope I feel better in the morning. Have to be supermam this week.

    But only 4 more sleeps including tonight till DH is home. Believe it or not I missed him soooo much today. And just when I was really missing him, he phoned! Complaining how hot it was and how much he misses me and the kids!

    Right off I go. Speak to you all tomorrow!!! Love to you all in [STRIKE]smurf-land [/STRIKE]oops I mean fly-lady land!!!!
