    Congratulations mummyroysof3. This is good you get to see if you like it and if another job comes up puts you in a good position.

    Well done Mummyroysof3; and good luck.:o
    I'm dealing with garden grubs, not fun but hopefully will reap rewards.
    I've been watching a young blackbird - he put his beak to the floor, planted his little feet firmly and p-u-l-l-e-d - and came up with the most gi-normous worm! I hope he enjoyed his lunch; he certainly worked for it!:D

    Mr LW hung the washing out before he went to work this morning - I had to dash (as far as one can dash on two sticks:D) out and grab it in, cos it flippin well rained.:mad: Most of my stuff (assorted undies, 2 velvety tops and 2 t-shirts) is nearly dry; Mr LW's 2 pairs of cord trousers are still quite damp. Got it spread round the rads at the moment - I refuse to do the Washing Hokey Cokey for anyone!:D

    BM is on - again! I don't know where bread disappears to in this house!:think:

    Folks, if I don't post tomorrow, don't worry. I have to visit the GP at 08:40 in the morning :eek: and Mr LW has permission to work from home tomorrow, to be able to take me. I may be too frazzled to do much when I get back; I have to see a Dr I haven't seen before (my usual Dr is on mat leave) and I have a bad case of "white coat syndrome", as I've heard it referred to, at the best of times.:(
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    LameWolf it's hard seeing a new doctor. You have to explain yourself all over again and you don't know what to expect. But sometimes they come up with a new idea or you find you like them better than the one you saw before. So sometimes something good can come of it. I see a different GP depending on my problem at my surgery - when I get the choice.

    mummyroysof3 well done on the temp job i hope it leads to something permanent

    house reasonably tidy, nipped tesc0 and managed to pick up a yellow sticker batman cake for £2 instead of £8 got pizzas and now have DS2 and a couple of friends round playing xbox games. they can have pizza and shop cake, the girls will be round later and DD3 has alr4eady told me shes bringing a cake shes making so that can be the 'family' cake for later. hoping he will like the raspberry pi were giving him later

    Ionafan, postie came today, that was really unnecessary but thank you. im glad the shoes arrived safely.

    LW hope you get on alright at the docs and things arent too stressful or you get the usual mess up with meds and prescriptions.
