    Dusty Kitten just remember that if you do go for the audit job it will mean that you will not be able to do any mystery shopping in that store where you need to be undercover :cool:

    Hi everyone,

    Been doing really well this week and enjoying it as well (does that make me weird!!) Got to go to work tomorrow so might get a head start on tomorrows list tonight, or I may just go and get a well earned glass of wine! :o

    Hope everyone else is ok, with all this flying I haven't had chance to read through the thread or post much!! Got to sort that out really, although I'm sure my eagerness for flying will wear off a bit! Half my house looks sooooo bewtiful though! :rotfl:

    Think I might go for the wine and a read through now... the bathroom and everything will still be there tomorrow!! :D

    LOL @ Tia

    Evening all

    Have done no flying today, apart from WM and DW. DH gone away for a few days so am looking forward to having house to myself for a bit. DS has been an angel again today, so feel a bit better about all that.

    Too be honest I don't really have a lot to say, feeling very unmotivated today, have various jobs I could be doing tonight - ordering some photos/filing but can't get going.

    Wonder if some chocolate might help....
    Lightbulb moment 15th Feb 2007:doh: Now Debt Free and plan on it staying that way!
