Bunting

Less than two weeks till Tilly’s wedding, I still have so much to do.  I did though this evening make the bunting.  There are meters and meters of it!!  Yellow, two greens and hessian.  Tilly wanted all the flags put together in a random sort of way??  Random??  I don’t do random, I like things orderly in regimental styley!!  But after throwing them on the floor and trying to do them just in the order I picked them up it worked quite well, only two of one green and one of the other green and a yellow were left at the end so I must have coped quite well in the randomising at using them equally along the length.  On getting them mixed up right, there a few of one colour together but only one lot of three which I didn’t notice till I had sewn it.  I just hope Tilly likes it. 

Tomorrow I have a maths exam, it is all down to luck now I just hope I know the answers to the questions.  A bit like a quiz really, I either will know or I won’t know the answers to the said questions.  Fingers crossed that I get through as I haven’t had time for any revision tonight and the bunting was my priority.  We will be going over the maths in the morning so all I can do is pray.  So wish me luck and I will be back soon x

Oh Dear!!

Oh dear are the words for it!!  I had an interview for Waverley School today for a  Teaching Assistant’s position and failed miserably!!  I really let myself down.  OK so the interview was scary – Headmistress and two (yes two) Assistant Headmistresses.  My mind had gone to mush and there was absolutely no relevant interesting information within!  They must have thought I was completely barmy and had not learnt anything from the time I have been volunteering there.  I am so cross with myself, I just hope they realise it was nerves and not that I really am a numpty.   The Head rang me this afternoon to let me know that I hadn’t made the grade (oh dear again).  So no good crying over spilt milk, I will just have to apply again and prepare better, I didn’t prepare really at all for the interview, and you know the saying ‘fail to prepare and prepare to fail!’ 

The other problem in my life is the house, the  one that I had totally fallen in love with…  The Surveyors report came back saying that it needed at least £20,000’s worth of structural work doing, that is another ‘oh dear’ in my life.  If the vendor won’t let us have a reduction in price to accommodate for that then we will have to think again and probably look for another house.  So that is all for now, enough of my whinging and whining for one day, I am going to bed, tomorrow is another new day and I am going to visit friends and have a lovely day.  Goodnight all x x
