    Well all envelopes topped up DD2 out at orchestra practice all day and I really need to get to grips with house. Whilst OH away on a jolly ( its an extended weekend.....read 10 days!) we have let things slide a bit even for my standards - we treated ourselves to a delivery pizza last night and boxes still on living room floor:eek: Log burner is on so they will be quickly dispatched.

    There is a job advertised that is less money but closer to home......that old dilemma! I will apply but its going to have to be be stonkingly worth it because for the first time in many any years I am enjoying my job.I am valued and respected by colleagues who are great to work with and have responsibility the reflects my experience and I really would like to hang on to it for a bit longer.........oh decisions decisions!

    And its a FLW on Eb*y so better get on and stop procrastinating!

    Not got round to Eb*Y yet other than a relist of 2 items. Getting very chilly here and last night lit the wood burner - burning mainly paper rubbish and a box full of large twigs-not-quite-branches from the garden. Kept the chill off for the evening :) dare say OH will feel cold when he gets back its been over 30 degrees most days where he has been....PAH!

    Its been a long term and still 2 weeks to go........we are all jaded, mad frogs included. Work started on some major internal restructuring and re organisation on Friday.....mad frogs will be bouncing tomorrow :eek:

    Have decided not to go for job.........had a look round and was very disappointed. It was as I feared......'unit kids' shoved in far corner of school and a very patronising attitude IMHO:( Although I could do the job hands down and it is closer to home the latest inspection report clinched it in the end...lots to do there, with facilities that are way off the standard of where I am now. The job is hard enough without the added stress! Something else will come along I am sure :)

    Must stop logging on..I'm getting side tracked each time;) Having a bit of a purge again - four bin bags ready to go to Oxf*m and a few things going via Fr**gle. Doing research on Eb*y to see if some of the stuff I am thinking will sell is in fact worth putting the effort in to do so....if its not them its going via charity or Fr**gle - trying to keep as much as possible out of landfill:D Even have a pile of stuff to burn on wood burner tonight:eek:......mainly paper based stuff like old handouts from courses etc. Right side tracked enough!

    Hi there..we are getting good interest on bay of E so hope it's the same for you.

    Trying to have 10 items up for sale at all times..feels like a good discipline for us at least.

    Have a good weekend. Hope the weather is not too stormy. Our woodburner is on whilst we watch the rugby..most unusual for us but DD1 has been performing at the opening ceremony in Cardiff so watching in 'support'! Lovely. Tonnes of free wood still.. Should be after Xmas before we will need to buy any :)

    Hmmmmm thats a good idea. I may well adopt it :)

    Wrong sort of Rugby for us to watch;) But what an honour to be performing........did you spot her???

    i know..I know I can barely tell my dad..he's a union man through and through..but no I didnt spot her but she's very impressed by the atmosphere at the stadium and 2 free matches today aint bad.

    We have decided to see the game in Bristol. Taking 2 kids and we're standing so who knows what it'll be like!!!

    No wind here as yet but am sure its on the way
