    Also, Finn 'made' me a Christmas card today. :D I know it's gimmicky, but I think it's adorable.

    Bad news: work sent around a mass e-mail this afternoon saying that accessing social networking sites during working hours is grounds for dismissal. :( I knew they monitored usage, but I had no idea they were that strict. Sad face is sad - I hate private sector! So no more MSE or Facebook except during lunch hour.
    top 2013 wins: iPad, £50 dental care, £50 sportswear, £50 Nectar GC, £300 B&Q GC; jewellery, Bumbo, 12xPringles, 2xDiesel EDT, £25 Morrisons, £50 Loch Fyne

    would like to win a holiday, please!!

    Our tree is up but not decorated. First ever real tree and because it was intimate with my thighs, I have a special bond, ya know?

    Hugs busy Becles, hope you get caught up soon. You're always so busy that a backlog must be a nightmare for you :(

    It's just a big nightmare at the moment. I have to rejiggle my diary on a daily basis and it's just a matter of getting jobs done as and when I can.

    I plan my days by esimating the travelling time between calls. At the moment each journey takes much longer. There is still ice and snow on the roads, and there are many abandoned or broken down cars and minor accidents which cause traffic jams. Some car parks are untreated and I got stuck at Byker retail park this morning and had to dig snow away from behind the car wheels so I could get out.

    Today I was putting up stands which finally arrived in stores that don't actually sell PC games. Had the journey from hell to do them due to problems on the roads, then stores were saying I couldn't put the stands up due to lack of stock, so they'd bin them for me.

    I so cross and angry, I was tempted just to pull over in the car and have a bloomin good cry :o

    Hope you are ok SS. It sounds like you are going through a lot too xx

    I don't like the FB group as much. The page jumps around too much and I can't keep up with it and miss things.

    I have a job interview tomorrow afternoon :)

    Good luck xx
    EWWW lol

    I put mine in black bags already, otherwise wouldnt your bin get smelly? lol

    Mam has her bin cleaned every fortnight mind lol

    The kitchen bin has swing bin liners in and the boys are responsible for emptying it. They are supposed to tie the top when they put the bag in, but I realised when everything was covered in manky food scraps, that they are not fastening the swing bin liners up before they go in the bin _pale_

    Have to give it a wash out when the snow goes. However I noticed our hose pipe is in a huge pile of snow, so I'm hoping it is ok!
    Here I go again on my own....

    Looking for very fast advice please - from having a non-red butt Molly now has a bleeding red angry one, plus she appears to also be bleeding from her lady area but I can't see anywhere where the skin's broken. What do we do?

  • Grrr been told to gen up on the company where I'm having my interview tomorrow but the site is rubbish, very little info, it's all about applying for the service.

    I think I'm going to have to brave my GP's triage service and try and get Katie in, her cough doesn't seem to be getting any better, honey and warm water calms it down for a bit, I think I'm going to have to Tixilyx her again. I've also given her a full 10ml of Calpol this afternoon as her mouth was so sore she was crying, it did mean she consumed actual food :)

    She loves her mummy though we went to our local Spar after Playgroup and got a 500ml pot of blueberry bio yoghurt for her - was yellow stickered too :)

    I'm trying to sweat it out of her tonight, she's in her leopard all in one, a blanket and a duvet tonight.

    SS - Sudocream, Metanium, Bepanthan, Aloe Vera after a cool bath and v gentle drying?
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    I hope you still get paid for the job!
