Title: Good Morning World!!!
Post by: bloomer on October 31, 2012, 08:19:53 am
How are you all today?


I'm off to buy rocks for a client so that will be exciting (not)


Tonight the kids are out at a light party (the Christian equivalent of Halloween) so i get some peace and quiet, yay...


The weather here today is overcast and damp but generally not bad lets hope it stays that way!!!

buying rocks for a client? sounds interesting to me all different kinds out there.

Got a contract to help build a small stone 'henge' next year  :excited:

Good Morning  :wave:

Today I am mainly hiding from 4 little voices calling out "Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum" every 20 seconds. I usually love having the kids home on half term etc but Autumn half term is always a nightmare as its my busiest time of year work wise and I just can't juggle.

Ah, so that's why there were so many families with kids in Oban yesterday. I thought all the half terms were over  :idea:

I'm just catching up, sorting out a few bits and pieces and making a LIST :excited:

Well, my day started with an exciting visit to the podiatrist followed by a cuppa with a friend then a visit from a council official to discuss having a stair lift and walk in shower installed.  Exciting stuff.

Get well soon, DITW.   :bouquet:

Hope you feel better tomorrow DITW

I slept late, read too long last night, damned Kindle, fed dogs and chooks, spend half an hour on phone to friend listening to rant about Committee I used to be treasurer for.  Then another friend came to join me in taking the dogs to GArtmorn - not another soul there as it was p---ing down.  Went to Morrisons at Alloa and had a lovely (and cheap) lunch, came home,  lit log burner, sorted out Choir books for handover next week, quick cuppa then email time - and a quick browse on here.

Good evening, folks :wave:

well, I found out today that I didn't get shortlisted for a job with the forestry commission. Which was a bit of a choker as it was just down the road and I reckon I'd have made a great applicant.  :rant:
 
Ah well, I didn't want to work for the man anyways.  :innocent:

Just got an email back from the site manager, turns out there's a bottleneck at HQ and we won't know till friday now. Ah well, couple more days of wondering and worrying.
Does make me kinda wish I hadn't taken out that "contract" now, still you live you learn...
