    Sorry to hear you're poorly. Those bugs seem to be doing the rounds near me recently too, and summer colds. At least we have lovely weather!

    Hello Atrixa, ive still got the bug and its wiped me out. Hence although I have done clothes washing I have done nothing but sleep all day.

    The pills are working from the gp and I am holding some food down now so hopefully I will do my chores tomorrow. I've just picked a huge plate of raspberries. I hope I can eat them by tomorrow.

    Weather has been glorious. I am so pleased I hope we have this tomorrow too.

    Bless you atrixa, I hope so. So glad work is over. Am up at 5 tomorrow writing an important piece of work at v short notice. Only two days till the weekend. Then payday.


    I have to buy an item of furniture for my lodger that he has requested it will cost £55, it will arrive at the weekend. Gradually he has become comfy here and has brought all of his stuff over. I can't complain he is the perfect lodger.

    Glad you are feeling better SW. Good luck with the job application hope it works out for you but make sure you have a holiday and get some rest too. You don't want to be exhausted when you return in September

    I don't believe this. The lady I know that sent me the job application has offered me the job. I applied to start in August but she has asked if I can start this weekend taking a coach party to Oxford for the day. I have done many trips like this in previous jobs and it will be great for confidence, bank balance and connections. Holy Cow. It has only been 24 hours since I applied.

    I don't even know what the salary is but free trips all over the South of England sounds fine to me. I will pop in tomorrow to check the itinerary and start my new job on Saturday. :beer::beer::beer:
