SOOOO Tired!

Ever feel like maybe you've taken too much on? I'm wondering if maybe I have!

What with doing the cleaning job 5 days out of 7, ferrying Yorkie too and from work, working for Avon, trying to keep my own business from going under, and now I am registared on my OU course which starts next month too.

I'm starting to feel that there are not enough hours in the day any more! And to make it worse I have lost most of this moring by over-sleeping! I woke up half an hour ago. In half an hours time I have to get out with some more Avon (requests from customers who didn't have the money last night, bless um), and then I have to get my self kitted out for two cleaning jobs which will take up my afternoon with almost as much driving as cleaning.

So why am I wasiting time on Blogger right now? Well, I have a 20 minute window (where I have done all the small jobs I need to do this morning, and I don't have enough time to start a bigger job) so I thought I'd update this. And ponder the grimness of people who miss-use public toilets.

Twice in the last week I have been to the Yatch Club (where you would assume people were 'nice') and have been met by scenes on YUK in the toilets there - which can only be used by members of the Club;

At the weekend one of the toilet rooms was covered in blood woth tissue from the toilet paper dispencer thrown all about the place. Apparently this is "not unusual on a weekend"... Lovely! And only yesterday the other toilet, when I opened the door, STANK... really really ponged, which made me cross as I have been using scented cleaning products and air fresheners to improve the smell. The reason this failed? Some one had left a dollop of poo on the FLOOR of the toilet! WHY??? For one, why poo on the floor then you are inches away from a toilet, and secondly, if it was (somehow) done by mistake, why not pick it up (with some paper) and flush it away!!! LIKE I HAD TO! Also, this same day, the middle shower room was trashed too. When I opened the door there were tracks of mud on the floor that looked like cycle tracks... and the toilet seat and lid were broken and filthy!

I've started up at the Campsite now... VERY posh! It's not realy a camp site, it's a trailer park for the seriously RICH! Big money! (mind you, people at the Yatch Club are wealthy too, so I'm making so assumtions). This job seems to be simple enough too. One staff loo, one public loo, staff kitchen, offices and reception. It's a 2 hour placement each day that I'm there and that is plenty of time but loads of polishing to do (which I quite like) to fill the time.

This afternoon I have my first shift at Age Concern too.

I have to keep reminding myself that I am a student again now, and this is a student job for me, not a career path. I wont be doing this forever. I'm only doing this to pay my way though this class and to top up the wedding fund.

I cleanied for aliving a while back and have seen the horrors that people are capable of. I can't imagine what their homes must be like. Obviously they can't care about cleanliness if they leave things in taht kind of state. If I did that kin of stuff at home I'd be picking fragment of skilelt out of my skull after the wife explained her stance on the issue.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
