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
- 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
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!0 -

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.
