One interview down :j It seems that it's some type of support group thing to help you get back into work, not that they're pressuring me to do that just yet as I'm on esa (as the bloke told me 4 times).
I have to go once a week for approximately an hour and they pay my petrol cost. I got £1.75 today but parking cost me £2.50 :cool:
I had coffee with my friend and her husband after, she had a moan about the other friend. I just listened. I don't want to be dragged into it
I've now come home, washed my hair (luke warm water :cool:) and had a quick sandwich. Just killing time til the next interview _pale_ Still nervous but don't want to start doing anything to take my mind off it in case I actually forget to go! :eek:
I can't wait til this tub of well know chocolates have gone, they keep my name and I have no will-power0 -
Hello there
Started a bit of spring cleaning today, and after having visitors over Xmas and NY I feel the house needs a good going over, but its over facing me so can I join all you lovely people?
I work 4 days a week which includes every Sunday, so I may alter the days a bit, as I have to go in for 6am and Im not a morning person so usually Im only fit for sleep when I get back in. So heres hoping you lot can organise me!!
As Ive already done some sorting and cleaning today, I will start properly tomorrow which will suit me, as Im at work tomorrow and I need the motivation to get going ( I work 6-2 all the time, must have been mad but I was desperate to work!!)
So heres to following the plan

Well done to CY's DD1 - so pleased to hear of the progress you've made.
Christmas decs have been put away in the loft.
TD belt has broken so had to phone repair man - he's coming on Friday.
Minutes of Trustee Meeting written - must send them to Chair for approval
3 phonecalls made
Have spant a good hour helping DH sort out his tax bill and reducing it a bit
Study cupboard needs a good sort-out... I threw things in there before Christmas to get the room clear for DGSs to stay.... but I need clear boxes first so that I can see what's in them, so will order them today and put sort-out on next week's list!0 -
Another here who has suffered with ME/CFS and am hopefully on the other side of the worst a big Congratulations to your daughter CY. Also good luck to Wendywitch, if you do get the job you can pace yourself and it sounds like the ideal location. Signing off will be ok as you would have somewhere to go to. If not its all an experience and when the next comes along you will be all the better. Sending new doggy vibes your way LW.

Found my old username - enrolled Monday as sag27. Ok, not able to do full list and strike as on kindle, but so far have done one hour tasks and swallowed an awful lot of frogs. Now to maintain until.Friday evening when oh should see a real difference after working away all week. Very stressful with winding up business, but least I can see some progress at home.0
