    Morning all :)

    Oh i'd love some snow, only because I don't have to go out unless I really really have to (or want to ;))

    We're off to view a house we like today, very excited, it looks perfect and it's in a really nice area as well.

    Hope everybody has a nice day :D

    angelflower... I've only managed it once by signing up to flickr I think and uploading my pic there then pointing the insert pic bit in the advanced posting section to the http... etc address for that pic? Sorry did that make any sense at all?

    Snow??? Blimey!!

    Not had a flake here, but it has suddenly started raining hard and it's a bit blowy.

    I still haven't heard about the job I went for on Thursday although they did say at the interview it might be today as they are waiting for someone to rubber stamp their choice. Other than it being very close to my house, there is nothing else to make me feel I really want it so I'm happy whatever the outcome.

    A job in a school Iapplied for closes tomorrow, the AQA promotion closes today and I applied for 2 jobs yesterday. They are both with agencies so I don't know how long before I hear (or not). Both of the jobs I found yesterday were a much better salary and were both 20 hours in the mornings so if I don't get any further with being promoted at AQA, one of those would be perfect to sit alongside my normal AQA work - I could have both Saturday AND Sunday off with the salary of one of them!!

  • Very windy, miserable and wet here in not-so-sunny-staffs....

    Ashli LOVED the nursery.. she didn't want to leave and went walking off with one of the nursery nurses saying 'byeee mummy, byeee daddy..' and only wanted the nursery manager to help her down the stairs... Little monkey... needless to say I don't think she'll have a problem settling in!

    oooh, exciting stuff - I've just had a laptop delivered!! Wasn't expecting it until the 17th!!:j

    Because I'm self employed and I'll be using it for work, I can 'write off' the majority of the cost over the next 2 tax bills. I've worked out it will only cost me £70!!! :beer:

    Off to have a play :D

    Then I'm going to find out which router I need to go with my Virgin cable so I can be wireless.

    Afternoon all! how are you all? just on lunch at work at the min so wont be around for long. Its very windy here no snow though. We never get any snow, too close to the Trent and power stations i think :(
    Hi IA, I've been reading your threads for a while now, good about nursery my mum said I was the same, ran away from her as soon as I walked through the door and never wanted to leave! Apparently it shows independence?!?

    well, just spent few hours balancing my money accounts. I wish it was easier to organise the account list cause my debts dont balance with my sig due to the complexity of mortgage account and its driving me nuts

    Thought I would also add a pic of the view out of my lounge window. Enjoy :)

    sorry, can only manage a facebook link.
