So glad for you all that DH has found another job so quickly. Hope he is made permanent. I’m not surprised you’re ready to collapse after all the stress! At least now you can concentrate on the healthy eating and exercise, well done on the 4lb weight loss so far

So pleased your other half has a job. I think a lot of employers take people on a temporary contract to see how they work out and if they prove to be unsuitable its easy to lay them off. I will keep my fingers crossed.

Thank you.  I think in some ways it works well both ways as if the job isn't suitable then the employee can easily move on as well.  Hopefully it will work out, but if not, at least it buys more time.

Happy Friday!  I'm very glad it's the weekend.  It will be weird having DH home later, I've got into my little routines on a Friday.  I was on dog walking duty this morning as he left at 5.30.  Little miss was due in school by 8 and there was a mad panic when I couldn't find my car keys.  Luckily I found the spare so we made it.  I've had a good hunt round and couldn't find them, until I remembered that when I came home yesterday, I'd left the kids at relatives, but bought home all their school bags and coats etc.  I was desperate for the loo so dumped everything in the hallway. I found my keys behind the telephone table thankfully.

I had my shopping delivered yesterday, and I was a bit annoyed to find out that the berries I ordered were all in a rubbish condition.  The raspberries were mostly mouldy, the strawberries all bruised and soggy and the blueberries a number of them were off as well. I managed to salvage enough for my breakfast thankfully. I don't very often have problems, but its annoying when it happens and I don't notice at the door.

Not much planned for today, just a tidy round and chill.

Morning @jwil l was so pleased to read about your DH's new role.  Shame about the berries yesterday.  I would be sending a written complaint along with photographic evidence.  Enjoy the weekend.

That is one of the reasons is I don't shop on line. The other is the dog would go ballistic.

Thank you.  I normally do send the photos in but didn't bother today.  If it happens again I will.

It isn't a common situation so the convenience far outweighs the odd time there's a problem.  I'll be going to get some more at the weekend anyway so I'll be picking the best ones.

I've had a fairly productive morning, catching up on a few jobs I've been putting off for ages.   I've even gone out in the garden and done some weeding.  It's a lovely warm sunny day out there.

So pleased to catch up and read your DH has a new job already! Whether he stays or not, I hope it works out to his advantage. 
Your weight loss is good news too.
Re your mouldy fruit. I paid for a veggie box. The carrots were old and I had a baked sweet potato this evening and that was old too. Disappointing when food we pay for is not up to standard! Moan over...
Hope the sun continues to shine where you are.
