    Thanks for the good wishes - I was back again just after 12. I did the interview OK, was confident, friendly etc but whilst I was there I thought you know what, I don't even want this job - it was so different to what was advertised and I didn't take to one of the women who'd be in charge of me. So I don't expect to get anywhere (I'm good for typing etc but not organising events :eek:!) but IF they did (which they won't) I'd say no.

    The good news is my typing boss has said he can get me more typing if I want so will probably take him up on that.

Well done to Sebastian - sounds like he will be getting his first star tomorrow?????????? let me know if you get a chance xx ETA that would be good I will check and see and text you xx

    Back from walk. Dog and child suitably covered in mud. At the least the little one is able to strip off in the kitchen and not make a mess everywhere!

    The dog is stinking. When he is dry enough to walk on the carpets I will take him upstairs for a bath.

    Have done two loads of washing. Made lunch -thats about it really

    Hellooooooooooooooooooooo :D

    Finally caught up from Wednesday night just in time to go out again!

    Hugs, congrats, ohh, ahhh as appropriate to you all. I can't remember all I wanted to say so hope you will accept my apology.

    The main one was positive thoughts for Frodders shadow.

    Had a naff day at work and would not have been great company last night, but a very good friend of mine let me chew her ear off :D Much to my annoyance it still did fester in my mind last night but by the time we went swimming this morning I had filed it all mentally under B ;) Lesson learnt, will not open my mouth in future.

    Anyway onwards, we are off to ikea soon for storage boxes, candles and some shelving or other for Mum and Dad.

    I am still grinning when I sit at this deck and the pile of paperwork has a shiny tray to sit in from now on. It is reducing all the time rather than a pile 18inches(ish) high it is now 6inches high.

    Better run, need to be at Nanan's in 11 mins :eek:

    afternoon all

    Wm on line
    rain
    washing brought in
    omelette for lunch - mushrooms because they had nice mushrooms on the market...
    took DS's phone (oh yes DS + phone =TROUBLE) in to Orange...since the phone has been damp (could have been condensation, she said ...I tried to look innocent because THAT'S when I remembered DS had dropped it in the cat's water bowl) and no insurance means they won't replace. Onto market. Found a battery for a tenner on a stall but wasn't sure if they'd be cheaper on line so I left it. They aren't, I'll have to go back sometime....

    Vibes for Froddy's little shadow and his family...
