    grateful - how awful, big hugs.

    had a lovely time with my friends and feel better for being out. Dh is finally on his way home, bless him what a long day.

    I am just going to make some sandwiches for us both for tomorrow, by that time the wm should have finished so I can hang the stuff up to dry overnight and then go to bed and read.

    flying wise I've washed up, tidied the desk, S&Sd the kitchen and put the recycling out. Not loads but enough.

    Today I've also closed a c card account, paid for ebay stuff, talked to my mum who was in Mr T and offering to buy me some bits. Must pay for the car insurance tomorrow eve after the dentist and before my meeting...

    Well, decluttered one meeting and managed to deflect several actions onto other people.

    Have done dinner and washed up/loaded DW.

    Have also swotted up some more for my interview on Weds. Forgot to mention earlier that I bumped into the lady today who had said I could put her down as a ref. Mentioned I'd been called for interview and she said that she hadn't been contacted by anyone yet.

    That means they must have called me on the strength of my application form which I feel better about. But, I was able to get some info out of her about the test part of the I/V. What she said reassured me.

    It's going to be a tense couple of days. I really WANT this job...
