Not all our clothes are stinky yet... but our washing machine broke on Monday.  It stopped, I assumed the wash was finished, opened the door, and flooded our kitchen!  ARGHHHHH!  Thankfully I could take the unfinished load round to the neighbours to get it done.  But it's such a pain - especially as the 3 year guarentee only ran out a month ago!  I'm going to visit a friend this afternoon - I'm sure she won't mind if I go armed with a basket of washing...

Er, I've done my first shift as a barmaid.  I think it went well.  Pulling pints wasn't as difficult as I thought, and the landlord seemed quite pleased with me.  I was a little concerned as I'd sort of exaggerated my experience of pulling pints from a drunken trip behind a friend's bar, to a full-on university time job!  I think I bluffed quite well!

Work is still slow.  I missed out on a morning's worth today, as the stupid agency insist on calling my mobile, which I forgot to switch on.  This really annoys me, as I have asked numerous times for them to call on my home number in the morning to avoid situations like this.  I think I'll call again in a bit and repeat this.  The home phone is right next to my bed too - grrrrrrr

Not much is happening at all.  Life is pretty slow, but at the moment I'm happy to roll with it.  Money is going to be the issue, because Dave wants Christmas at home, and never realises just how much it costs.  Between us, we have 60 presents to buy (I know cos I wrote a list) - I suppose that's what happens as family and friends increase family size with babies etc.  We also have our annual mince pie and mulled wine bash on December 8th - that will cost a hefty wedge.  I'd sort of like to drop it a bit, this is our 4th year of doing so, but again, Dave loves it!  However, he usually has his works Christmas do the night before, stays in town after drinking too much, and comes back in time to play on the computer before everyone arrives!  Me?  Well, I make the mince pies, sausage rolls, mulled wine, etc, and do all the cleaning.  I also make all the invites and deliver them!  I suppose things like that are the same in most parties...  And yes, I do enjoy it too.

Anyways, that's it.  I'm off to have a bath!

Have a good day.
