    Better than NOT sticking to it SHS :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well I applied for the job and did some prep for tomorrow.
    I didn't put together mock papers yet or do any housework.
    DH started too but then became embroiled in a Scooby Doo/Fairy crossover game.
