    Vanilla you can come and do it for me if you like :rotfl: I'm starting to hate it before we even get the keys. Just put a huge piece of carpet in the boot, flippin' heck that is heavy! Will be going in the garage so my poor washer, fridgefreezer and cooker don't get cold bottoms :D amazing how quickly the boot is filling up, I can see me making a few trips today.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lil_me it will be great the first night when everything is in it's place, lieing up with a big bottle of wine. sport-smiley-001.gif Oh i love movinglaughing-smiley-014.gif .

    Right i may get moving and dressed if i'm gonna get to this fun day. The kids are asking every 2 minutes are we going soon and we're gonna be late (they don't even know the time yet.laughing-smiley-014.gif
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all.

    Been in the loft and have got a pile of stuff for ebay - DS3 going to Mum's after lunch so will be doing it all when he is not here.

    Finally stopped raining so kids school polos all on the line and DS1 bedding in the washer. Sorting clutter is my aim for the weekend, no cleaning. Realised that I find it hard to do both so intend to stick with the clearing with just basic cleaning until it is all done.

    No pigpen - bet she is still asleep after another late one. I am so happy not to be hungover and am back to only very moderate (1 glass) drinking.

    Afternoon all.

    Two loads of washing done but hanging upstairs as it has been raining. Starting to brighten up out there now so I'm hoping to hang some of it outside later.

    And it's Saturday so I'm not doing much else! Cooking lunch at the moment.

    Well I've had a rather exciting day so far (NOT) - just spent about 3 hours (I kid you not) trying to fill out an employment record form from the IR as the stupid temp agencies haven't been sending off all of the paperwork for me, and therefore they haven't got an up-to-date record of my jobs. I had to use a second sheet, and list everything, including the trial shift at Zizzi, working at 2 different temp agencies, and the pub job, as well as my PGCE training bursary (just in case - although I'm sure this was tax free). They want info all the way back to May 2006! I'm realising that I really should find myself a steady longer term job so I don't have the hassle of digging out a million payslips again. On a positive note, my paperwork tidying the other day, meant that they were all in one place and I was able to find everything I needed. Woohoo!
