Judith said...

have completed my task and sent you an email.

What work have you been offered?

your verification word is ovens - lol

Ali said...

LOL how appropriate is ovens??

I work as a substitute teacher, and I had a grammar school call to see if I could do some work for them after Christmas.

However I'm currently being kept very busy by one of my regular hang-outs in the special ed. sector, so couldn't help them out this time.

Great to get the call though!

Judith said...

it's encouaging to receive such phone calls - at least you know that you have not been forgotten and there is always another time..plus it's good to do work on your terms and not feel pressurized (am sure I've spelt that wrong!!)

Dana said...

Thank you Ali...will do (along with a picture Meme and an award post) soon...I promise!

Etta said...

Oh boggin blog meme - I swore I'd never do another one of these but because it's Christmas... and it's you... sigh. You do know I'm going to struggle to come up with 8 things all together never mind 8 in each do dah?! (ps - the verification word I got is "surop" - is that sticky sweet stuff in north belfast? lol.)
