Here goes nothing, the job interview will be handed in in 10 mins when I get to work. Wish me luck - I've still not decided if I want to do it full time or ask for job share. Full time is very tempting if the family will work with me iykwim

Good luck, Mrs MP X

I've managed to change DS appointment to have his cast taken off before we go to Center Parcs - hooray! He could cope with the lack of biking - quads but I think no swimming would have been a real shame. Anyway, it's now moved to a few days before we go, so all being well thumb will be mended and not need another (cast not thumb!)

I'm trying to motivate myself into sorting my desk and the counter top in my office. It's a bit of a dumping ground. I've just done the kitchen, so I might set myself a little hhc in here. Instead of browsing the net and wondering what to do with myself. Feeling quite lazy!

Have bought a couple of birthday cards and gifts for DD parties - she has 2 over the next week...

Hugs and peace vibes for CY xxx


Right, off I go...

Hi

Phew, couldnt find you all for a minute, you were on the second page!

Good luck with the job MrsMP.

Bathroom scrubbed before work, roast dinner made, managed to get washing to stay on the line. Been to job no. 2 and walked the dog with DH. Now I need to do exactly 1 hours paid stuff then its pjs on and snuggled down to watch some telly.

I sorted the hot hotspot earlier. What to do with sugarcraft models? Unlikely to use them again. Should just bin 'em I suppose. I still have the sugar flowers from my wedding cake - almost a decade old. Also have racing cars and a golf bag from various birthday cakes. Hmm.

Rest of it is sorted though. Agreed with mum that DS fireman Sam toys will be kept for her foster boys for Xmas. I will give him the money he would have made, had we sold them. Need to find a home for Xmas stuff as I bought a couple of stocking fillers today

Not a lot of flying achieved. I'll do the downstairs WC once the kids have nodded off.

Took DS to football training tonight. One of the dads was running it, so I had a word about "the thumb" and said he wanted to join in but couldn't do the 5-a-side bit at the end. He had an absolute ball (pun intended) and ran off some much needed steam we left early, just as the rain arrived perfect timing!

He also got heaps more stamps at school - his TA came and had a word, said she is aiming for 100 with him by the beginning of next week! Sterling work to say he only had 23 on Tuesday - and that was 2 weeks worth, he's earned about double that in the last 2 days!

Right, all is quiet above stairs. I'll get my rubber gloves on then!

I've not touched the fly list since Monday. Been on nights for the paid stuff, as the flat is tidy I've not been able to summon the energy to clean.
I have managed to tick 4 things of my overhanging to-do list, so it's not all been lazy.

Can I have flylady prayers please. We're waiting for the vet to open. Ozzie is awake but unresponsive and can't stand. I'm dreading making the decision as DH has to go to work.
