Evening all

My fridge is here!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!! It is lovely, all clean and shiny. I am a little bit disgusted at how grubby the old one is now that i have emptied it, can't believe we haven't caught something, seriously, we must have the strongest immune systems in this house!

plum i can't have a smear til september. Its the policy round here that you can't until you're 25 which i think is mad! Not that i am looking forward to it of course, that would just be wrong You must be pissed off trillian

Right! (trying be business like) My house looks like the persil advert when the clothes explode so tomorrow morning is going to be spent sorting it out. Here is the list:

Bathroom
Pick up clothes/towels, put in washing basket
Empty bin
Hoover

Bedrooms
Pick up clothes
Make beds
Open curtains/windows
Empty waste paper basket
Hoover

Landing
Tidy away clothes hanging on banister
Put away sheets that are sat by airing cupboard door
Hoover

Stairs/Hall
Tidy all shoes
Chuck any old envelopes etc in recycling

Living/Diningroom
Pick all clothes up
Put all toys away
Take throws off sofas
Febreeze sofas
Recycle newspapers
Hoover

Kitchen/Conservatory
Look lovingly at new fridge
Empty dishwasher
Put bottles beer/coke in new fridge
Clean old fridge - Eek!!

Everone up
Everyone breakfast
Everyone dressed
Wait in for DH's new laptop
Put lots of washing on
Dry lots of washing
Go to town if chance
Lunch
Horses
Dinner
Baths and bed

Sorry it is all so long

TrillianAstra · 22/06/2009 21:31

Alice - I think they say not to start til age 25 because when you're younger there's a very high rate of false positives so it's not worth testing. I had one a few years ago anyway as I was having some breakthrough bleeding while on the pill, but this was my first 'proper' one. (it didn't show up anything and just stopped on its own, no idea what had happened)

Yay for shiny new fridge! Is it a snazzy one that makes icecubes? I really want one like that.

alicecrail · 22/06/2009 21:37

I have had gyne problems in the past and had to have laparoscopy(sp) thats why i think its mad really.

Yes it is one that does chilled water, ice cubes and crushed ice!!! And tells the temperature of the inside on a little panel on the front. I wasn't that bothered about getting it tbh, but now it is here i am in love

How is the temping going?

TrillianAstra · 22/06/2009 21:41

Temping is going okay, the place this week is smaller and less pressured. I do have to ask for Thursday off though (hope they won't mind too much) because...

I have a second-round interview!!!! Yay!

alicecrail · 22/06/2009 21:44

Yay!! Where is that? Is it something you are interested in or a stop-gap job?

TrillianAstra · 22/06/2009 21:51

I am fairly interested in this job, yes. The money isn't as good as I was originally hoping for when I finished PhD but it sounds interestingt and I'll learn lots of useful transferabel skills so even if I don't move onwards and upwards in this company I'll still get good stuff out of it.

alicecrail · 22/06/2009 21:54

Well good luck then, as it it will probably be a bit better than temping (says she who is basically unemployable!)

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 23/06/2009 00:20

Trillian - yay for the interview!!

DS is really unsettled this evening - I think it's teething. He has made a small hole next to one of my nipples because he's holding on so hard when he feeds. 'Tis bloody agony
