Miles totted up another neutral petrol day
Used a voucher to get mr rg a pressie he'd asked for xmas - shh don't tell I only got it today I'd ordered it (ahem) in my head. And with the change from the voucher I got myself a lovely pocket notebook.
Cancelled the house insurance as its almost doubled - looking for a new provider locally
Booked a smear (bleurgh but hey gotta stay healthy)
Aside the voucher its a NSD
Walked el hounds of the islandvilles enroute after a work thing so they've had a decent scamp
Skyped DD who's home sometime this week - schools later in starting.
Doing a bit more work, keeping those hours going and then will call it a day.
Meetings tomorrow so that will be petrol neutral too.
Dinner is leftover slow roast lamb with HM yorkies and tatties and cabbage. I do love a good recycled dinner.
Will update banks etc in a mo and of course the expenses.

Thinking of having a call about this job and making a few enquires.
OK so I'm not nearly experienced enough but my enthusiasm knows no bounds
not that I'm thinking of applying I'm just mulling and curious. I prefer to get my hands dirty and be on the coal face to be honest but its a cracking opportunity in the other area I'm interested in aside hortiwhotsist.
Mind on I don't live in the real world!
PS anyone reading who knows of anyone who'd also be interested do share the link

I know this red haired woman in Orkney, she got married recently, kids from her first marriage are older teenagers, and she might be living really near to that job, she's a womble at the moment, I think she'd be terrific for that job
