    No flying here yet as such...by the time I'd sorted out email, got my bag together for the job centre, then I walked there (saving £1.80 bus fare) only to get told I the woman I was supposed to see wasn't in :mad: Finally got sorted and signed off :D:j:jToday is my last day as a job seeker, tomorrow I officially start the self-employment (registering with tax man etc is tonight jobs) so thriftyness is going to have to move up the priority list and fast :eek:

    What are you going to be doing Nicki?

    I'm just having a cup of tea after getting DD from school. DS had a big tantrum on the way there on his balance bike, it wasn't pretty :eek:! Managed to unrip the knitting successfully and will do some later but now going to declutter some of my typing work so I can invoice my boss tomorrow.

    Toochoosey, hope you're HHCing!!!!

    Toilet S&S'd, plus the DW emptied and filled. My hands are bad so this is going to be slow progress.

Also done a pedicure to earn some extra pennies (trained beauty therapist and have a client that I still do every month...one of my mums best friends lol!!). Then tonight i'm waitressing as a favour to a friend....although i am getting paid so its in my favour too!! Very productive day. Tomorrow i expect i'll collapse!!:rotfl:

    Yup I was, thanks for keeping an eye on me...was wondering what kept me going :D!!

    I got DD in the shower, S+S'd the bathroom, put a load of clothes away, S+S'd the kitchen and put the hoover round downstairs.

    Going gto have a look at some homework now (whether I do any is another thing!!), have a cuppa and will do some ironing in a bit.
  • Finally managed to shift myself. It's not all done, but it's a good deal better.
