Tell us more

Really not much to tell - applied for a neuro rehab job in watford, invited to interview saturday, went yesterday, got it. More money, less responsbility, more benefits, less clinical autonomy, more training, longer commute. Better than the current circus, not as good as going it alone. A pretty safe solution all round, really. Probably a good thing with the credit crunch and finishing the house and all.

Good for you
I'm waiting for quiche to come out of the oven 
|
Bebo
|
Think I'll open another beer.............
|
Frewen
|
Right then I'll see your beer and open a bottle of homemeade apple and elderflower
|
Bebo
|
OK, last beer cold beer in the fridge and its a can of wifebeater - yuck. Never mind at least its cold. There are three bottles of pink wine in there, but I can't drink that - its far too girly!
|
Frewen
|
So why is it in your fridge then?
|
Bebo
|
For guests. We have people staying most weekends and I always keep a few bottles of wine in the fridge in preparation, 'specially if my sister in law comes down - shes a bigger boozer than I am.

Congratulations .
You'll be able to increase your responsibilities and clinical autonomy over time and, as you say, being employed is probably the more prudent option at the moment.

Not till October - CRB and stuff. Ugh, do I have to make a list today? It's all cleaning stuff. I don't even want to think about it.
Right, things I need to do that don't involve cleaning - or tidying......
ignore the watering system
take pics of the house so visitors will recognise it when they get here
remember to buy potatoes
buy more vodka and make more vanillia extract
email about the gift vouvhers
clean the entire house, from top to bottom
make up the spare beds
see if the divan on the landing can have another home
remove compost bin from kitchen (maybe)
rearrange the dining room
dig spuds for dinner

No thanks, himself is very particular about rostie spuds - they have to be special varieties - King Edwards or Maris Pipers. I didn't let him join the roast potato debtate. I didn't want to have to ban him!
Beds are not problem - The bedding it on the beds, just in a heap at the moment, so needs sorting anyways.
I hasten to add the compost bin is new and (so far at least!) empty! It's raining, so that may not get done, anyway - it's a useful surface to put things on.
You might want to bring something for the boys to drink - We not much good a soft stuff, round here (at least that isn't water or coffee, anyways)
