Morning All
Am only really flying this morning cos I am off to the trafford centre just before lunch for a girlie day (others are doing some serious shopping - I am spending my pigsback vouchers and getting a couple of Christmas pressies!!) Was really pleased with how well I did yesterday - only really the oven left to do and you can put good money on the fact that wil still be there at the end of the week:o
Rach - the job obviously wasn't the right one for you. It is upsetting at the time but when the right job comes along everything will fall into place.
Nicki - do you famcy coming round and doing some decorating here. My OH does a real slap dash job and takes no care...and I am worse than him!!
Am off to clear the debris from breakfast in the kitchen and rescue the magazine that the rugrat is currently shredding!! I also need a brew! Will update later

Sexymouse Did you get that money owed to you yet ?(Sorry not on top of the goss yet).
Hi Jill
Yes I did manage to get the money owed to me by Zizzi. It took threatening legal action and a call to head office to get it sorted, but boy did I enjoy seeing the expression on the stupid manager's face when I collected the money at the end of that week!
Glad your hubby is helping you out with the flying and that you do get to have some rest in between doing your lists.

Morning all,
(((Vanilla))), hope he settles well. Thinking of you.
Again bathroom still under "construction" so not much point cleaning it.
Need to finish off bits and bobs from yesterday though. Had uni work to do so didnt get much done last night.
Might even go crazy and clean the oven:DThe trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
