    Afternoon all!
    Have escaped from school (its my last day there and everything is finished so they let me run away at lunch time!) and am home now.


    Had quite a good day so far -
    • got an email inviting me for another interview next week
    • got my review of my school placements grading me as outstanding (knew it was coming but nice to have an official bit of paper to wave around)
    • haven't been rejected for yesterday's interview - YET!
    • got a £10 Boots voucher through the post for doing surveys
    • OH gave me a £5 No 7 voucher
    On the DFW proactive front...
    • last trip to Bolton (45 mile round trip to school), will save quite a bit on petrol this month as a result - done hurrah!
    • confirmed a 3 week placement at a special school for disabled children starting next Tuesday - really looking forward to this, no teaching just helping out and getting some extra experience - its the final part of the course where you can organise something to do based on education but there's no pressure and no big stuff to do done
    • all food from stores
    • take doggy to vets for booster jabs (will cost a bomb no doubt):o done £36 eek!
    • checked banks done
    • walk dog x3 for free exercise done 2
    • do one wash and dry naturally in now
    • get ready for trip down south tomorrow for another christening on Sunday
    • have a nice bath later and a cuddle with the ever suffering OH
    Hope everyone has a good evening

    Edit -have also paid CC bill with some jiggling round of finances (forgot last month and was a day late grrr!), hoovered house and dusted and been called by yesterday's interview people to say no decision has been made yet so not out of the running just yet!

    The standard lists are all on the first post - you can choose to do whichever level (or all levels) as you want. Some peeps also post their own/extra tasks. All moves v fast but you can just keep your eye on the first post for some extra ideas.
