  • Hi, no house work done yet. Been running around town doing errands, made phone call to college of FE re A/1 A/2 trainer assessor course in health (found the usual level of competence in this IYSWIM) - sounds hopeful, would really like to take it to V/1 (external assessor) Woman at collage said when you've finished perhaps you should phone me!!! Also will look at doing adult ed cert as well. That way I can teach in FE colleges. Oh well see what comes of it but I don't want to go back into the NHS and nursing but I don't see why I should waste 24yrs experience either.
    Have got to go back out to pay AVON - forgot the slip when I went out this morning (dur)
    Have got to find an up to date bank statement and sort out finances.
    but before all that I shall mosey along to the kitchen and get a few jobs done. TTFN

    Yeah, that's what I think too. DH thinks he's getting rid of the competition so his boys can win. Simon has lost any integrity he might have had. I don't want to watch X-Factor anymore, but I know I will end up watching it cos DH will keep on watching it.

    Go Jedward!:rotfl: Rose if people had really like Lucy then they would have voted for her, she got less votes, it's simple:confused: Like Simon said lots of us can't wait to see what they do - I stopped ironing for their performance on Saturday but ironed through the rest. They are hilarious and on a dull wet November night they make me roar and grin with joy - did Lucy do that no. That song she sang was silly and boring and American slush. Yes she can sing but she wasn't ever going to win and now we can having another classic Jeward performance next week (and hopefully the week after if they get rid of Lloyd who really can't sing):D

    A couple more jobs on here for me and then back to the kitchen - I will finish out there.
