Hi all.

Natty - it's really honestly not as bad as you think - I only had my first one last year and wondered why I'd put it off so long . It's not exactly pleasant but rather than being a horrible nightmare, it's slightly uncomfortable and mildly embarrassing. The nurse said its their "bread and butter", that they do it all the time so they don't really even think anything of it.

Soappie - hope you get the job you want. I've applied for 34 jobs in 2 months (having been made redundant). Spoke to a friend who said some admin jobs at the local hospital have had over 200 applicants!!!! Both of us will get a job though, just keep on trying. I don't ever want to go back into that demoralising depressing job center again.

On that note, I am somewhat in a tizz this morning as I've got a second level interview late this afternoon, and another interview (in front of a panel with set questions) tomorrow.

So far today I have.... had breakfast, watched tv, procrastinated in getting out of bed, finally got up and made the bed, and run a bath that I've not got into yet

Monday ~ Kitchen and Dining room
Level One
mop floor
Level Two
Clean out the fridge thoroughly.. and check the drain at the back!

Tuesday ~ Living Room, Hall and Stairs
Level 1
Vacuum floors and sofas
Catch up on phone calls.. make necessary appointments .. and sort out insurance policies that need renewing soon!!
Level 2
Dusting, even if around everything
Remove clutter making sure stairs especially are safe
Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets
Level 3
Wipe light switches, sockets (make sure they are not switched on!!) and banister
Clean any other glass like mirrors, pictures etc
Tidy shoes, coats and bags .. wash any that need washing. See if there are any that don't fit, past their best or just plain uncomfy which could leave the house!
Extras

1. Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.
2. Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
3. Clean a window or two.
4. Get yourself a bag or box, go around collecting things that are not in the place they should be, then put them back where they should be, or better still give them to their owners to put away themselves

MY Extras as and when:

1. Prepare for interview!!!!
2. Apply for job that wants postal applications
3. Sort out box of photos
4. Do some shredding
5. Do some unfinished bead project
6. Do unfinished macrame bag project

I still have 4 binbags to sort through.. but it is better than it was.. I need the wardrobe out onto the landing which means a huge rejig of large furniture upstairs

It comes in 2 exams - half a GCSE each. My DS is doing one today and the other after half term.

Good luck to everyone doing exams :T

Unless it is not a compulsory/option subject in which case it is only half a GCSE and the other half is made up with the PSHE half-GCSE

Can I ask who it was with? Mine runs out on Friday so I need to get it sorted ASAP and everywhere is twice what I was paying last year!!

Lemanie.. just be glad she is out of your life.. she cannot get details of your condition/illness/you so let her get on with being pathetic.. she is the one with the mental problem obviously and it won't do her any good.. You are so much better than this and just smile and let it go.. Look at all the lovely things in your life and be glad she is not making any vile undercurrents because she is no longer part of it.

Mamashaz.. I have heaps of laundry if you'd like some to hang out?
