greenbee - 'couldn't organise the proverbial' springs to mind :mad:

Yup... I've been IMing the guy who was recruited just before me, and they've done the same to him. He was a bit worried though when I said I was thinking of looking elsewhere... hopefully I'll catch up with my mentor tomorrow... actually, better check his diary!

Suppose I should get ready for bed, as I need to be in the office for 10 unfortunately.

I've sorted and labelled all of the presents. Ds2 really does have loads more than Ds1. I seem to have lost my Dad's present i'll have to have a good look tomorrow.

I should probably go to bed now.

Triker

LL good news xx

I've tidied up my kitchen and loaded the DW, need to give it a good clean now, can't hoover though too early I've put some rubbish in the bin, and am just about to potter round and see what's what. I've lost one of littleys pressies, it's only small but quite important (to her) think there's one more place it can be and if not will have to purchase another one (only coppers) handed out some xmas cards yesterday, got customers ones in the car ready.

Have a list things to buy, I've about 5 different ones in my purse :rolleyes: all at differing stages of purchasing lol Put the black tree up on Sunday night, looks glorious, real one (I'll remember you warned me Hex, but I can't resist) went to Asda for one and they'd all gone :rolleyes: hopeless that shop is :rolleyes: so need to locate somewhere else. Erm.......done lots, and lots still to do lol

Will go and clean my kitchen and sort the cupboards, shouldn't be too bad as they were sorted through not long ago.
