  • my HH filing didn't quite happen - DS woke up with the screaming hump....so it was wipe over the laptop and give some long overdue attention to my email account......4 very important emails sent, ready DD3 school news letter - realised that she has a non teaching day on Friday!:D

    and I have been using filters to get rid of junk stuff - I have reduced my unread inbox from over 13,000 to just under 9,000 :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    while DS is happy enough to have me on the laptop with him, I am gonna attempt another HH filing - online and see if I can't get under 5,000 unread emails!
    :p

    Head throbbing

    Get well soon vibes to those feeling under the wether, and hearty vibes to those visiting dentists :shudder: and doctors.
    Better is good enough.
  • Morning all

    I was unexpectedly called in to open up the shop this morning so I'm a bit behind. However while I was in town I collected the application form for the job I've been put forward for so I can get that in sooner rather than later. It's another part time retail supervisory position which should fit in perfectly with my existing one :j :money:

    :p

    still going with the emails under 2700 to view and or delete....taking longer as I am unsubscribing as I go...

    To my shame my oldest unread email is from 2007 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:, so I am working in reverse now and just ploughing through. Don't really want to stop for lunch, but need to eat before I take my next lot of meds.....

    Anyone want to join for another HH of filing, cleaning ironing or something equally detestable on your hate list?
