Frittered_Away

Woah, I need some sleep. I just opened my hotmail and proceeded to type a password for something else into the email box. Then disconnected myself from the internet.

Need to let the plumber in first though... aaaaargh. He's not even called to say he's on his way yet

Vanilla ask google - type something like 'how do I do a CV?' and you will get some sites and hopefully a free one!

Frittered_Away

Universities' websites tend to be fairly good for CV advice

LameWolf

Mr LW has just called to say he's finally on his way home! So hopefully we'll be sitting down to our dins in about an hour.... I'm starving!:D

greenbee

Try any of the jobs websites (monster, total jobs etc) as they all have CV templates and writing tips. Happy to look over it for you when it's done.

Frittered Away, CONGRATUMALATIONS!!! What's your course?

Well i have just about perfected the art of doing everything BUT the bathroom. I have got sooooo much done today, even jobs i'd been putting off for ages and ages. Banged a couple of major frogs off including my tax credits renewal which was a massive one! Just didn't do the bathroom. Well, i did tidy the bottles, but that's it.

Tomorrow then eh? :rotfl:

Shellysue In that case I'd be using some of OH's wages to pay for a cleaner why should you do all the graft.

when I started my current job I got my wages paid into my bank, not the joint account where they had been before, all the bills come out of the joint account, I have some things I pay for, like main food shop and power, he pays for everything else. That way I feel like I get paid to clean the house :j I can then buy what I want, previously I had to ask, then explain why I wanted it, have at least 2 arguments about getting whatever it was. Now, I just say, I bought it, its arriving!:beer:

I still haven't done the floors, floors are my frogs, I need a reward for doing them, then maybe they will get done. Its not hard to drag a little dyson round, why do I find it so difficult to get started:(

i knew i would forget something, congrats to Frittered for exam results and cleaning progress well done!!!!!

pigpen

Right... I am angry... really really angry.. now is revenge a dish best served cold or can I make it so hot it makes lava look chilly?

OH has gone a step too far now...

So do I let him know first? Or do I let her know first? Or do I just slap it all over facebook so everyone, including his mother and sister know he is being inappropriate with a female 'friend' while I deal with the pregnancy and the baby???

Although, it doesn't seem to be Squeak he doesn't want.. given he wants the 3 of them 'on the sofa sharing sweets' .........

I've had one lying piece of crap I spent half my life with I am not going to piddle about this time round.. I am way way better than that..

Decorator is coming tomorrow or Tuesday to give me a price for the girls room.. .. hopefully it will be tomorrow

I'm putting Squeak to bed and finishing vacuuming the middle room I think.. therapeutic vacuuming until I collapse sounds good.. though I have sneaks in operation!

pigpen you will have to get over your stubborn-ness about asking for help - ask him OH very politely and sweetly - it sounds like he needs coaxing so pander to him - explain to him that it needs to be safe and clean for squeak and dot- I know its against our better judgement and I know they should know what needs doing but unfortunately not all men see housework as 2nd nature - they require lots of teaching - but for goodness sake get him working - you need to be slowing down a bit. And just a thought about going to post office etc if it wasnt for your children he wouldnt have the mobility car to go about in so do not feel like you are asking for the sun and the moon just ask!!!!!!!!!!!
frittered away well done thats excellent news:T:T:T
tooch chin up honey - it will be fine once the hairdresser has styled it and it will be more grown up for her and if you are having problems with the creepies it is maybe better to have it shorter for a while

hex well done with the decluttering of the thomas stuff - nice to see it going to a new home - you will be worn out by the time you go on hols - make a list of the essential stuff and concentrate on that - the rest can wait - and dont tell me its all essential:rotfl: you are speaking to a master of trying to do toooooo much!!!!! A cleaner would be so good for you - even just to do some of the heavier stuff or the ironing?

ajmoney I am so pleased for you that your Mum is well enough to come and dont be sad about getting your nails done on your own - just think of it as the last chance you will have for peace and quiet until the wedding night!!!!!!!!!!

pigpen I would have it out with him first then if that doesnt sort things then.............

have had my usual busy thursday - and been dodging thundery showers

decluttered a box of stuff to auction as well
