    Often they just need a good water as the shops don't think about doing that.
    To do list looks good, don't forget to have plenty of rest.

    I have cleaned the fridge, about to vacuum, mopped and did a tiny bit of weeding and put down some lawn feed and weed. It will rain tonight. It is v blustery. My hols will start vv soon so excited. I am  due to hear or not about the new job this week, fingers crossed.  

    They have contacted me. I have to prepare a topic on a subject i know almost nothing about and i have only just seen it. I have one day to prepare which is Tuesday. Yikes. Work all day tomorrow. Then when i come home, this.

    lol bless you both thank you. If not,  I will enjoy my holiday and start driving next year when my hours are reduced in my current role. It's ok. I know i did my best I would love a rest this summer as i worked all last summer unpaid! I want to go to the beach and garden and get healthy. It will be so good.
