    Really quite cold in work today. Don't have my fingerless mitts with me either.

    Morning ladies, hope we've all had a good Easter and eaten lots of chocolate! :-) My last day off work today, but just logged on to do some admin and make sure everything is a lot easier for me come tomorrow morning when I'm faced with hundreds of emails!! I feel like I've been off work for so long, though it's only been 7 days, it's a lovely feeling... feeling nice and relaxed at the moment which I am going to make the most of as everything is going to get crazy busy with the wedding now!

    Done charlotte's belly blitz dvd first thing this morning then had a really long hot bubble bath.. 3rd day in a row I have done it now :-) got shopping coming between 2 and 4 then will take the pooch for a nice long walk after that. OH helped me clean the whole house yesterday so got none of that to do today... just put a wash on and that's it. Chill out day!

    Afternoon ladies, haven't been on here since I lost my job last week. It's been a manic week but I've finally stopped panicking and started looking for a new job. Had an interview this morning but didn't really take to the man so I don't think I'll take it if I'm offered it!

    Had a lovely few days off for Easter, went shopping with my parents on Friday, my mum got the last bits for her wedding outfit, shoes, bag etc and my dad got his suit! Then just had a few days relaxing and visiting family. Just what I needed after how manic last week was. Hope you all had a lovely Easter x

    On Saturday night when we went out, hubby drove his van as I did not want to leave my car there as could have got damaged, parked in a car park and I paid £12 to park it so we did not have to rush out to get it in the morning. When we got there he had a ticket, when I checked my app, I'd made the stupid mistake of not changing over ego his reg plate on the app for pay by phone. I've just emailed th council with proof that I paid, and if they check any cctv or parking not attendant they will notice that the car I paid for was never actually in the car park at the said time. Hoping they will take that I paid so much into consideration and dismiss it. Doubt it though.

    Antenatal classes are finished. We talked about good positions for labour and birth, and tried some out. We also talked about useful things to have handy after the birth, and some things that I would never have thought of to do with nail varnish. Then I paid the choir subs into the bank, and bought a pram suit and nappies and wipes from M0therc@re. The only thing I might still consider getting is a mattress for the pram, as the pram is second hand. Otherwise I think I've got everything I need, other than snacks which I can't really get until it's almost time to go in. I just have to hope that I get sufficient warning to get to the shop. There are shops at the hospital if necessary.

    Good evening....

    Had quite a positive phone call tonight regarding a job application I actually refused last week. The recruiter called me at 7.30 to discuss my cv etc and she is keen to put me forward as I have the right skills and experience despite me not wanting to work in marketing. She told me it would be supporting marketing rather than working in marketing!

    The main role is PA to the MD and administration which I thoroughly enjoy, so she will put my cv forward to them and perhaps go in to discuss it further with the company. It's 20 minutes away and £18-£20k a year..... I'm only on £16,500 so a nice little increase

    Let's see!! I'm not getting my hopes up too much

    Emm I hope you find something. It's really annoying how the recruiters work as they are paid a commission on how many interviewees they send and how many placements they make.
    This one does sounds promising though - if you are a PA you shouldn't really be doing much actual marketing stuff surely?


    EC how long do you have to go now? I suppose you could stockpile things like energy bars, cereal bars, crisps, dried fruit for now so theres's no rushing about? Or even freeze some sandwiches they usually keep for about a week?

    I've got three and a half weeks until the due date, but I'm hoping he might come before that, as I'm having difficulty walking now. My antenatal class has very much pushed the point of not getting too focused on the due date, as only 5% of babies arrive on it.

    Spent most of yesterday at the Vets with my Horse.
    My god the Vet is a hard task master! We had to do a ridden assessment as he is currently only lame under saddle.
    I've never felt so knackered after riding. Getting an unfit horse to canter 10m circles for 20 mins realy takes it out of you!
    My legs were like Jelly afterwards!

    Upshot is that horse now looks like a patchwork quilt having been clipped in various patches so they could do joint injections! the patches are also covered in blue antiseptic spray stuff.

    It's quiet on here today ladies, hope you're all well. Have you seen the news reports about Vernon Kay supposedly 'sexting' the model again that almost ruined his marriage back in 2010? I really don't know what to make of it all, he claims that she messaged him recently with some 'information' about the stories in 2010 and Tess knew all about it but I can't see why she would drag all that up again? Seems odd to me, shame though if he has been up to no good again x

OH got the car today so will have to wait 10 mins or so for him to come and get me... need to pop home and let the done out for a wee and wrap my cousin's present, then shoot off to see her before she goes to bed. Normally walk the pooch as soon as we get home but he will have to wait a couple of hours tonight. Hopefully OH will take him and I can crack on with the dinner when we get home - spag bol tonight :-)
