I still seem to have the horrid headache and I have a job application to get done. I'll do my desk in the conservatory instead of 'study' as it's got so much carp dumped on since I finished my job, waiting for me to get it sorted. Here goes!
Just imagine how good your job application will be when you prepare it on a fabulously tidy and clean desk - it'll get you in the right frame of mind! Taken anything for the headache yet??

No flying done so far, just a bit of pottering. have been on phone though to City and Guilds with regards to my certificate - answer yes still valid but A1 would be more valid. On phone to college, whatever I do with regards to training I now need my PTLLS cert regardless so hopefully will start that in January (10 week part time course) then try and get attachment/job with a training provider. So mental cleaning been done.
Weather is dull and overcast here, making me feel sleeeeeepy and tired.The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

I'm back home... Orlando to Newark was crowded, but we arrived and hour early, last leg of flight was good (bulkhead seat, no one next to me and no one behind and landed 20 minutes early). Taxi was there to meet me.
Dehumidifier was FULL when I got in. It has been emptied and set off again. Heating and hot water are on, but I'm still cold and tired... I think that despite my good intentions I need to turn up the heating, make a couple of hot water bottles and have a sleep for a few hours (I have a mini-facial and back massage booked for 2.30).
I've obviously got to unpack & deal with my laundry, plus get the spare room ready for my parents, and I need to do my expenses before the weekend...Oh yes, and meal planning and food shopping... so that'll keep me busy!
Have skimmed the thread but I don't think much went in!0 -
