    OMG what an exciting hour I have just had! I have just been to empty by brother's garage of my stuff that has been in there since I lived there and I have found:-
    - Approx 10 pairs of shoes, two pairs I have never worn
    - 3 coats
    - 1 x motorbike jacket I thought I'd lost
    - 4 x summer tops
    - 2 x skirts
    - 1 x work shirt
    - 1 x work cropped trousers (too big though)
    and LOADS of other junk I will have run reminising and going through tonight!
    One happy bunny!
    Nothing to report as yet...give me a minute...!

    Hi everyone, well done Triangle!

    I have been at a job interview all morning. Psychometric tests, IT tests and a forty-five minute grilling - yuk! I would really love to get it, but now I know the hours realistically I don't think I could accept it if it was offered to me as I wouldn't be able to afford the childcare. :(

    Other DFW things.
    1) Paid money into the bank.
    2) Resisted the sales in town.
    3) Nothing else, haven't had a chance!

    Sorry I am not posting much lately. I am still very much being DFW but since OH started his new job he commandeers the PC to work in the evening and I barely get a chance to catch up with people's news,

    • Walk dog for free exercise - waiting until later for walk no 2 due to the heat and a very furry dog
    • Been to yukky job
    • All food from stores including packed lunch
    • Do a teeny bit of planning for tomorrow
    • Put dry washing away
    • Been to pick up book from library but it was closed!
    • Find something to wear to work tomorrow
    • Checked banks - all payments from ebay and amazon are now in and moved to a savings account for mini hols in August (all paid for with this money!):j:j
    • Do surveys
    That's it for today - am too tired for much more!
