    Thought I'd pop back on to see what we were doing tomorrow but the list's not up yet - I bet pigpen's gone the pub without us again!

    I've got my job assessment tomorrow so not sure how that'll go. Need it to go well really as getting an interview depends on the outcome of that!

    Right, I shall disappear again.

    See you all tomorrow

  • I was going to do some flying this week, honest! But life, as always, has other ideas.
    I finished my shift at 2pm today, and suddenly got lumbered with doing the office wages and next weeks shifts for everyone!! :rolleyes: After that had taken me 2 & half hours I didn't feel much like doing anything!

    I'm busy tomorrow too (or is it today now?), I have work, more rotas to do, then I'm meeting up with my friend to walk the poochie.
    When I get home I then have time for a quick tidy (i.e hide it all!) before my gran is found for dinner.

    Morning all

    Not sure how much I'll get done today. I think it will probably depend on how I do at my assessment!

    However, DH is on a night out tonight again:mad: and I normally tend to get quite a bit done when he's not here! Although I think I'll leave the bedding until tomorrow as I normally leave it so DH has to make the bed.:D

    Morning all!

    This is early for me. OH got me up so that I've got plenty of time to get ready for going to the agency today, as I'll need to leave at 9 just in case I get lost, as it should take approx 30 mins to get there.

    I hope it all goes well for you today julie. I've managed to put the wm on, so hopefully it will be finished in time for me to hang it out before I go out. Must check the weather forecast whilst I'm online, cos don't want to risk it if it's going to rain, cos I don't know what time I'll be home.

    Glad it's the master bedroom today pigpen, as I changed my sheets last night cos I washed my hair. Can't get into a dirty bed if I'm all clean now can I? Still need to do the dusting and hoovering etc though.

    My mum's neighbours were moving yesterday and I thought of lil_me and was it mermaid who was moving too? Hope they are both getting on ok. I'm not looking forward to the day when we have to to move, as [strike]we[/strike] OH has so much stuff, and I know he'll be useless based on the fact that he can't pack a suitcase let alone a house.

    Well off to copy and paste pigpen's list and have some brekkie.
