Ok this is what my kids need me to do

Create a gingerbread costume by Friday
Get the stuff (plastic/rubber/metal) to make a subermarine for school
Get crystals out of a pot
Get stuff for making pizza at school

All to be done before Friday. OH not in tell really late tonight (past bedtime) and I have my mystery shop to do tomorrow.

How are you going to do all that? And how do you make a gingerbread costume?
I am so glad mine are past that stage but also have to admit I did enjoy all the crafty things, even made the Thunderbirds island although DH still thinks I was making it for myself.

I think I could manage a mystery shopping job if it was just lunch then report back (one day a month maybe) but don't suppose it would support me. I am on incapacity benefit at the moment until I am strong enough to work again.

Tomorrows list is up, football tonight (DP in too much pain as usual on a Wednesday since it got colder? to take him) so thought I'd get it done early instead of very late like last night.

I haven't worked out how I am going to do it all yet but one thing is for sure - flying is now on hold:rotfl: I quite like doing things with a sewing machine but not construction things, OH is good at that though. DS3 is a right maker, trouble is his drawing/verbal skills don't match his imagination.

Kids ate all their hotpot and then had jelly and are now absolutely hyper - thankfully 2 are off to footie in a minute.

Pooh could you do marking for exams like sats - I know they out source lots of that? The mystery restaurant only pays £5 plus the cost of food so no you could not live on it.

Wednesday - Master Bedrooms and Landings
Level One
[STRIKE]Strip bed linen and wash, replace with clean linen[/STRIKE]
Check fire alarms are working
Level Two
[STRIKE]Remove floordrobe from the floor!
Vacuum floors in these areas [/STRIKE]
Level Three
Vacuum mattress
[STRIKE]Clean tops of drawers [/STRIKE]
Check through one drawer making sure only what needs to be is in there!
Extra mission tasks, as always if you fancy an extra challenge try one or more of these

• Spend 30 minutes doing something for you, anything you like, call it 'midweek me time' Off out tonight to church thing..think it counts as me time... would prob rather be sitting in the bath with a glass of wine and a good book though...!!!
  
• [STRIKE]Empty the top or bottom of your wardrobe, wherever you 'store' things, sort through it, clean wherever it goes, remove what shouldn't be there then replace what should be [/STRIKE]
• Clean windows in the bedroom, make sure you [STRIKE]wipe the sill [/STRIKE]too
• Clean doors including handles downstairs

Got mums and tots tomorrow (first time- eek... although I know the people who run it from church, I don't think I know many / any mums and tots!) and then out for lunch to a friend's so not much time to fly...

Bye for now!

Which two did you go for? I am new to this too and am only signed up with 2 and this is only me second job. JJeff the threads on here and PTS are both helpful to get you started and learn from others experiences. I need to sort the tax bit out next month.

Retail eyes, and I have been accepted. There is one for JD sports I may think about. Try on shoes, decide to buy a t shirt, £15.00 to spend. Maybe I could get a t shirt for one of the kids. Or... my nieces birthday is coming up soon. Think the other one was for quality eye.

RE has emailed with an audit thing, using an RF gun. So I can do that, did it in my old job.

What happens about the tax? I have no idea!

Hehe, I am not allowed to describe them as 'greasy bald guy'.

I've never been before.. what if they want to know what I want over the phone?? I want it like this.. but a bit like that and .. well.. you get the idea!
