Morning... the morning after the night before..... and i have been eatenout of house and home!!! No left overs and the OH binned the chicken carcase that was going to be soup. Grrr!!
Meal planning shifting as a result, bonus is the bacon is now my sandwich for work tomorrow. Going to be hard going back, especially knowing that i am going to be leaving.
Just put the dishwasher on for the 2nd time, and notices that OH's "helping hand" in clearing up has put a black scratch on my white sink - bleached it and hopefully it will lift itout.
jobs for today....
sandwiches for tomorrow
update my list for shoping next week - no potatoes at all left!
change our bed
clothes out for work
empty dishwasher
put protective matt over the table


on a funny note my shred and snobbish husband ( he had never bought reduced/ haggled / thought do i need this before he met me), threw a tantrum that we were using our "every day plates", they were given to us via the charity shop, but do the job. to which he got told to grow up.
Awaiting my sister gettinga house and then i can cast them off to her, and but some matching sets - after all the wedding nes are far to good to use for everyday!!!

Off to do some surveys and catch up on bits!! TTFN xx

Normally I would even if it's just a bottle of wine. But recently I've invited friends to come round to mine for dinner instead.

Is your new job with the same company?

lulabelle1

Hi there.... I always take a gift - either a bottle of wine, dessert or both! Just don't invite them round again!

Did you get your start date and salary confirmed at the new job? Hopefully you haven't handed your notice in yet, just in case......

moneycurious

Thanks Peonie and lula, I think i might do the trick back and tehn just not invite them back round!

I am officially shattered. Day two, and getting back into swing. Off tomoz afternoon to see my friend who's dad died recently , just for a brew as he is gutted .

Went to TK max on way home gota nica bag cross body 19.99 - as my new job will need it as need to have my witts about me!!

THE NEW JOB..... emailed and still no response - same company , different department , but to undergo lots of checks prior to commencement - which i knew - but just getting frustrated.
I had also kept it under wraps at work, but then one of the HOS shouted out "Congratulations on the job".... the room went silent and i muttered - its not common knowledge.... needless o say every manand his dog knows now!!!!
