I had a mad morning today. As I had a course to attend, the girls were dropped off at school earlier than usual which meant everyone had to get up early. I was so worried I couldn't get to my colleague's home on time due to the morning traffic but luckily, I got there 5 minutes early. Another colleague picked us up and we attended a 'Food Hygiene' course which was really interesting. However, some stuff were quite off-putting such as an incident where a restaurant owner taped up the entrance to the toilet and refused to let the food and environment officers enter. He was eventually forced to and the scene was vile. The WC had been taken out and the waste matters were overflowing. As if that's not bad enough. Food was stored in there and cooked curry was placed on the floor with just a cling wrap covering the top. I swear I felt sick when I heard that. Also, do you know that cockroaches carry about 50 eggs in their bodies and if you kill them by stepping on them or hit them with rolled up newspaper/magazines, the eggs will be dispersed and spread all over the place which means you'll end up with more cockroaches! Yeeeks! Another valuable piece of information is that frozen food needs to be put back in the freezer within 30 min after you come back from the supermarket.
Even though I was paid to go on the course, I had to cough up money to put Lavigne in the after-school club as I wouldn't be able to get back on time to pick her up. Then I spent more money by going out for lunch with my colleagues. But it was good. My social life is almost non-existent so it was nice to have a meal and just chill with some adults. Then it was time for the school run again. Rushing around is really tiring.
I'd left the key with the estate agent as someone had booked to see my home. I forgot to remind them to take off their shoes when they come in and the carpet on my stairs is now soiled. Humph! I just can't understand how alot of people can walk around their houses with their shoes on. I have a no-shoe policy in my home and once I move, that will be even more strictly enforced on my wooden floor. Talking about which we went to view a house last night where the wooden flooring had just been laid by a company which we were interested in engaging. The workmanship is fantastic but its price is on the high side. There's always this thing about spending less on poorer workmanship and inferior quality or just that much more on something really good, isn't it? It will depend on my finance minister.
The deal's moving along although not as fast as I would have liked. I think they need to be chased since there's no chain on both sides. I'm now wondering if I will be able to get everything sorted before my trip. Walls need painting and wallpapering and I want to get them done before we move. Time! Time! Time!
