That's amazing seeing a baby woodpecker Cag. Fantastic! Good luck on the forms.
Good luck on the interview Wreck. I think that really wanting to do the job and clearly being able to do it helps tbh. I've done a small number of interviews and the biggest thing I noticed was that lots of people were obviously applying because they needed a job, rather than because they wanted to actually do that job. There were also several who just were in entirely the wrong career. So if you're applying for a job that you would enjoy, and that you have the skills to do, then you're way ahead. Hope it goes well for you.
Girlie Thanks for asking, ds is much better now. He is all perky and happy again and eating biscuits. and I am hugging a hot water bottle and hoping it is also quick for me
Clarinet lessons sound wonderful. It's such a lovely instrument to listen to. Good luck to your dd.
Tayto yes he wasn't keen on the snake at all. We've rebuilt the lego into a wheeled thing now, which is better.
The last two days have been quite expensive here, because I used a lot of sticker books and things to keep ds happy while he wasn't well, but it did make things very much easier. The Usborne sticker dressing books are a big favourite here, and I had some in a cupboard, so just got them out.
I do love frugaleering, not necessarily because I save money, which I really don't, but because I can make informed decisions about when it makes sense to spend money to solve a problem. It takes such a weight off my own shoulders.
I hope all the other frugaleer lurgies are getting better there.
