Mudbath

Dusty - really hoping woody is ok. Let us know how he's doing xx

List finished. Feel i've achieved something today. It's pouring down here and DD hasn't got a coat. Why don't they wear them - silly me, it's just not cool. I'm waiting for the call to say will I pick her up and the answer is no. She has a coat and chooses not to wear it. I'm such a bad mother!:D

Going to see if I can put anything else away whilst i'm waiting for DS to get home xx

bonnie_bumpkins

DW unloaded, reloaded & set off
WM x 1
TD x 1
Waiting for DD to get home to tell me where she's put her dance top so I can get the white load on - floordrobe doesn't even begin to describe it :eek:
Decluttered kitchen surfaces & kitchen table

Been doing a lot of thinking about job applications, whether to continue focusing on my old/current line of work where I have all my experience and qualifications (whilst I do my OU 'retraining'), or whether to focus on my 'new/future' line of work even if the link is tenuous iyswim. I'm not having much luck in my old/current line of work - I'm getting interviews but always seem to be the bridesmaid rather than the bride - is it because I'm over 40 / short / single / a bit ginger??!!

Anyway... it will mean a complete overhaul of my CV, job search, interview technique - and most importantly my mindset. Any pearls of wisdom gratefully accepted, I'm going round in circles and probably not seeing the wood for the trees.

Flying wise, my focus will be on de-cluttering this week I think, and the ever-expanding hot-spots which are threatening to merge evilly into one huge super-hot mega pile :eek: I'm sure I can hear them mocking me so off I go to disperse the blighters... wish me luck.....

*trots off looking grimly determined if a little alarmed*

Bonnie no pearls of wisdom, but having seen Mr LW in a similar situation, all I'll say is Don't Give Up!:o

Dusty I hope Woody's OK, poor little chap.

Done the best I can, catching up with yesterday's leftover tasks, and doing as much of today's as I can manage.:o I need the step stool to do the kitchen window though, and don't feel too safe getting on it at the moment, so I think that'll have to wait til another day.:(

Maybe try having a look at the webite "nextsteps" (not sure if I am allowed to post links to other sites so didnt). If you open up the home page then click on job profiles it takes you to differant jobs in that area iykwim.

My own list for [STRIKE]today[/STRIKE]yesterday but still trying
pay bills
sort clothes into bedrooms
write a Cmas list

Natty I know we need to buy some oil but it is sooo expensive and we are coping for now. The longer we put it off the more we save I have two car bills to pay.

I never understood people who held off putting their heating on but now I do.

LW I am with you on window cleaning, leaving mine for DS1 to do tomorrow. My kitchen window sill is three feet deep so I don't ever do it as I can't reach even with a stool.

boddy

Dailies done.
Bathroom S&Sed.
Bins emptied.
Council has been and removed all the old underlay and rubbish.

Been in town buying the last of the Christmas presents.

Need to contact the flooring company as Ive been waiting 3 weeks for the beading. Will do this tomorrow. Living room in limbo so the sooner this is done the better.

Off to get the tea dishes done and then a HHI.

Hugs and spoons where needed.

Dusty Hope Woody is ok.
