Oh CY thats terrible, poor lad

I'm feeling a bit virtuous. I've cleaned under the kitchen sink and evicted a carrier bag full of carp. I've tidied the overflowing hat / glove basket. I've also washed the kale and it's drying off for later. Have also booked airport parking with a very nice discount. DD has made a card, but she is nattering about nothing today. She wants to do DS cake now - but we are picking him up from school soon. Gah.

I'm going to see what else I can do for 15min before we set off...

He's headed into the employment agency who got him the job about now. If anyone can send posivibes his way it would be very much appreciated.

Ionafan- you have been on a mission this afternoon! Way to go!
CY- what rubbish news. He definately needs an explanation!

I have tried to do some more jobs this afternoon but finding it hard going.
I thought I would wipe the doors downstairs. After 5 min, I realised I have 6 doors down stairs! They have all been wiped inside and out, some worse than others but glad they are done. They are all shiny now!

Here is the remainder of my list....


Sort out ds2's wardrobe/ drawers and clothes!

Thrilling Thursday ~ Master bedroom/second room
Tidy up drawers of clothing and the multitude of shoes
For those who have been hiding stuff... Tidy under the bed!!!
Sort through one box of stuff
Find 5 items to sell/give away.. and list for sale if necessary
Ring someone you love but haven't spoken to in a while.
HHI
15 minute sort out of those random bits of gibble that are strewn about the flat surfaces in your room!

Just having a quick cuppa and then will,pick ds1 up from school.

That's a job well done, cars now look almost cared for. I may get new mats for the little car if they are not too many £s.

CY so sorry to hear about the job, he will need to find out why. Fingers firmly crossed for him.

Hi - Thanks Mum of 2 I did take your advice - unknowingly - and have showered, and watched Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Atonement. A good cry does wonders.


CY sorry to hear your news - posivibes heading his way.

LameWolf

CY every posi-vibe I can muster on it's way. Poor chap; quite apart from the practical aspect, I can't imagine how that will hit his self-esteem.

That Frog I mentioned on Wednesday needs to be finished up - I just have the "back legs" to go now. But after three hours sat on the floor, I'd had more than enough, and decided to leave the remainder for today.;)

I'm away now to chomp on "Frogs Legs". Yuk. I knew I wouldn't want to do the tail-end of the task. Lots of self-discipline about to be applied.:cool:

Still to do:
[STRIKE]- finish red cabbage preparation and cook
- sort books and magazines in LR (the pile is tidy but getting too big!)
- dust all downstairs rooms
- clean ensuite throughly
- get spare bedroom ready for overnight guest tomorrow[/STRIKE]
- send photo-letters

- update DH's family tree from info in Christmas letters received - still on list :eek:
[STRIKE]- think of an easy meal for tonight: sausage and chips, perhaps?

- hospital visiting again this evening as I can't go tomorrow

I need chocolate......... :cool: [wanders off to find a choc truffle, 3 syns, from the freezer: I freeze them so that they last longer]

Found and eaten. It was lovely - I can still taste it.

I am too tired to do anything else now. Am going to snuggle down on the sofa for an hour with soporific daytime TV, otherwise I won't be fit to drive this evening

DD2's fiance has just phoned in a terrible state. He has lost his job with no explanation. Flat purchase probably over. I am speechless.... What more c**p can happen to these 2? Dread to think how DD2 will react.

So sorry CY, sending positive vibes to your DD's fiance. Here's hoping he can find another job quickly and they don't have to give up on their purchase of the flat. Hugs xxxx
