    afternoon

    fed up, boiler/hotwater problems continue and can't be arsed with it all. Boss didn't pay me on time...she forgot and now I think she has underpaid me by about £100 but can't work it out until I am back on saturday :(

    Upside is that I have had a nice day out with B and my mum at alice in wonderland place...was fab and kept B entertained all day :)

    This may be the drama queen in me but - I'd be concerned about cash flow... You've been saying the shop has been really quiet for a while now - is it possible she's having difficulty getting the money together to pay you?

    Good afternoon

    dh and i cleaned right through this morning :)

    then we went as a family to the pub for dinner i was good though and had a small piece of lasagne and salad :)

    then we had a look in town, went into one of the shops and they had smell like purfume 3 for £10, Nathan wanted john paul gautier at £40 a bottle i don't think so but we found one that smelt like it, so he picked that to put away for xmas and a smell like ck1 to use now and i had a jadore smell like :)

    I was about to say the same thing, did she forget or 'forget' IYSWIM. Especially since she under paid at the same time.

    Daft cookery question - I got some steak with a sauce and it says to fry the steak for a minute each side then put in the oven with the sauce, would it be ok to george foreman grill it instead of frying it?
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.
  • I love the Alice in Wonderland place, been there a couple of times when my niece has been here. Great for kids under the age of 11 or so.

    Ames - yes, using the George Foreman is perfect.

    Just over half the essay completed today, phew. Couldn't do the practise exam though as I have to study the theory first - shouldn't be too hard though, there's tutorials online. I really want to do the course but Level 2 is likely to bore the pants off me.

  • Sal, I agree with Luc and Beanie, it doesn't sound good. There's forgetting as you've got a memory like a sploted spoon and then there's forgetting as the purse strings are tighter than tight.

    *cough* speaking as someone who has forgotten to pay someone on time in the past I would say give her the benefit of the doubt...although I do tend to agree with the general consensus of opinion.

    I wouldn't say things are 'coming together' (i feel like thats tempting fate a little) but things do seem to be heading in the right direction.

    Bunny - honestly - yes and no....been in a bit of a funny head space last few days but i can't do short answers on txt and my nails are too long for the blackberry buttons....will txt you in a bit - I promise...
