    Morning all,

    Well I GOT THE JOB :beer::beer::j:j I can't believe it, the head said I interviewed brilliantly :T I am so, so happy. It's a September start, and the finer details will be confirmed next week. Woooty wooty woop!

    Naff all flying planned here :p we are taking the kids out this morning then home for the footie. Steak, roasties and HM cauli cheese for tea. Made £40 on eBay sales so far this week as well, want to list more next week as I am DETERMINED to pay our final credit card off. It's 0% but still bothers me.

    Have lovely days all xx

    ETA - oh YL lovely that's rubbish, people can be so unkind. Chin up, let the rubbishness wash over you, you're better than that xx

    I can't believe I'm saying this.....we might need a bit of rain...

    Well done ATB.


    Garden watered, dogs walked. About to strip our spare bed and get the WM going.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    ATB well done x

    YL that person I would be removing right out if my life, chin up xx

    Up very early too hot to sleep, but not done a lot either so far, stuff I found from my warobe clear out and listed on eby, 2 items now have bids, so this will spur me on to clear out more and see what is worth listing.

    Keep cool, drink lots of water, have a good day x

    Well done atb :T:T:beer::T:T

    Sorry to hear of your upset YL. Some people are just mean. Shake yourself up, dust yourself off, and carry on regardless - don't let them grind you down.

    Had a nice lunch and afternoon out with DH yesterday, but the heat was tremendous. Looks like it's going to be even hotter here today and tomorrow! I have watered the pots and the little apple tree, but the rest of the garden is suffering badly.

    Must get on with work while it's cool in the study. Catch up later xx

    This.


    Got washing to peg out and DW to empty.

    Need to go and find a new bra and am not looking forward to trying on in this heat. Need it for DDs graduation.
    On Wednesday.

    It's too hot...

    atb well done.
    fbo welcome back and good news about Cornwall.
    Lots of hugs and comments to all of you, have just skim-read th last 2 weeks posts.
    Back from a great holiday with Mum, less slinky than when I set off. Terrible journey home with traffic on M3 and M25. Now need to pull myself together, deal with the heat and the pollen and pick up whatever real life is.
    Booked 4 gym classes after standing on the scales.
    1 load of washing done, plenty more to do.
    Unpacking to do.
    Sorting post to do.
    Endless gardening to do; Mr N had a week in France with boys on bikes while I was away so everything is either parched or rampant.
    Need to check diary to see what is planned for this week/month.
    Shopping needed.
    Check mil and go to library while I'm in town
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.

    Hugs to atb xx

    Well done YL :T:j:T

    Hmmm: Tour de France; British Grand Prix; World Cup footie; Wimbledon. Lazy Roundtuit thinks: not doing owt [STRIKE]this weekend [/STRIKE]today then :D; flylady fairy sat on my shoulder wags her finger at me and shakes her head :o

    Hmmm: been to visit mum and dad before TdF started (and before it got too hot); made the bed, fed the birds, loaded the WM and started it swishing, wiped down the washing line, put out the rubbish. and folded clean clothes on airer - amazing how much you can do in advert breaks ;)

    Laundry and recycling will be done during further advert breaks - probably a good strategy in this weather anyway :cool:

    If France win the World Cup I'll be £32 better off (sweepstake) but I'll be cheering England on this afti and I'll happily forego my winnings to see them bring it home :D

    Keep cool.

    Good strategy Roundtuit.

    Some gardening done in 15 minute stints. House hoovered through. Footie watched. Dogs fed.

    Now need to put clean bedding on our bed. DH who is making dinner has fallen asleep - far too much booze.
    Spend less now, work less later.
