  • Porridge eaten, lunch by door.....thanks lovely.

    EH - I've my shiny new notebook and expenses worksheet started! Fortnightly claims might be a plan.

    Up and at life - brains to fill with gardeny goodness this morning, I just hope I've remembered my brain too.

    Packed lunch and fortnightly claims are definitely the way to go :j along with brains, of course :D

    Hope it all turns good! As well as cleaning, I've *had* to get the tidiness going again, cos of clients again, it looks quite odd :o :rotfl:

    Have a good'un.

  • KC how lovely to have an excuse to tidy (I think) - brain, lunch and books remembered.

    Hey up Starnac - hope you're good lovely......:D

    Miles totted up another neutral petrol day :D
    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 :D 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 :D its a small world and all that.

    OI - Mrs Stripes - just apply for the flipping job for goodness sake - it's practically got your name on it! If you get to the stage of it being offered and still aren't sure, you can always turn it down.

    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 :D:D:D

    Does that ring any bells? :rotfl::kisses3:

    Pippi, I just saw this and thought of you. I know we tell you to put rocks in your pockets to be safe from the wind but be careful which ones you pick x
