I pick and arrange all my own flowers, Jerry!
PBQ - I think you must have the cleanest fridge in all of EB !! It seems to be on your list all the time Seriously - our fridge gets cleaned out once in a blue moon (very very infrequently). I am at work today but there is still stuff waiting to be done at home: Collect girls, go home and make tea - usual bath, dinner, bed routine Washing / folding / putting away clothes Clean kitchen benches Try and find my MP3 player which is missing Organise for tomorrow - work clothes / lunch

You did well to get as far as you did. I'm reading a great get a job type of book that I do recommend... "The 6 reasons you'll get the job: what employers look for whether they know it or not" by Debra Angel MacDougal. It give some really interesting insights and tips on how to land a job (not that I have one at the moment - still looking). I borrowed it from the local library as an ebook.

I did ask the library about that and was told they dont have it at all, but I am trying another library, failing that I will ask the TAFE library or check EBAY

I clean my fridge out once a week. I think it's unhygienic not too so I'm right there with you. At a minimum throwing out the food and wiping down the shelves and door. A bicarb and vinegar wash once a month too. Do your children help with chores. It seems like you have a lot of housework to do.
