    A kind friend who works near the JC altered her lunchtime to a very late one and walked me into the place :embarasse: just pathetic really.

    Anyway I gritted my teeth and was all sweetness and light and smiles and thank yous - even when she told me sometimes she listens to people talking about their job search while thinking "Do I care? No, not really." :shocked:

    Afterwards I bought 10 lightbulbs, 50 sandwich bags and a large bottle of mould & mildew remover for under a fiver in the local 99p shop. And I wonder why I haven't got a job or a boyfriend :o

    Thanks LW and jojo for calming me down when I got myself in a right two an' eight. I have made a big A4 poster of your wonderful latin saying LW, in bold red, and it is currently stuck on my fridge :D

    Flying wise I've
    • washed and dried 15 coats
    • cooked the bumpkin teens a thai curry
    • sorted out LOADS of carp previously stuffed in various boxes and shoved behind cupboard doors so I know have a better idea of where things are
    • found some floor paint so I can now rip up the manky carpet in the hall
    • HH weeding - AGAIN
    • S&S bathroom, loo & kitchen

    Oh and I've had a good :laugh: :laugh: at some muppet on another thread who appears to have created a second identity to agree with himself :rotfl:

    wendywitch - big hugs x

    Have a good evening peeps

    ETA:
    sequeena - he is just gorgeous, such lovely eyes (they look so 'knowing' iyswim)
    LW - fab card (how does Mr LW top this?!)
    And.... I have an interview on Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LW Love the card. Wish I had any artistic ability.
    Bonnie Well done at keeping your temper. Good luck for the interview.

    DH just phoned to say on way home so off to prep. dinner. Then need to fly aftwerwards, I got distracted by paid work.:rotfl::rotfl:I remember at the beginning flying was to avoid the work:D

    Well have decluttered the floor and chairs. Need to dust and sort. Can't hoover as the airers are out in the living room. Will add that to tomorrow.

    Had to put the heating on. Its freezing and the washing hasn't dried in 2 days. There's a traffic jam.
