Quirky means it has stupid bits that'll piss you off. Grade II listed means you can't fix them.

"Quirky" and "Grade II Listed" raises questions.

'Quirky' here means lots of small or odd shaped rooms. 'Listed' probably means you won't be able to get change of use for the shop.

Cheers. No dice, though. Went with someone with more more cosmetics experience. Feedback good though, but need to give more examples when replying to certain questions.

I turned down an interview in Avonmouth, as they wouldn't up the pay by 17%.

The hunt continues, as if I am being interviewed for jobs which pay 25% more, then i should be going for them.

Depending on my job swap activities I might end up getting one.

Helen used to do domestic cleaning for several years. What do you need to know.

The girl in the video (and story) is my friend Pravina. I don't see her that often, she's a good friend of a good friend, you know the deal. But fuck, none of us had a clue. I can't even imagine going through the hell of having cancer, but going through it and also being ashamed enough to not tell a soul? Jesus fucking Christ :(

Christ, doing it with every support network there is tough enough, keeping it secret and doing everything alone? What a frigging nightmare.

One plus side of living alone - the house only has to be clean enough for me, and my standards are pretty low.

Don't you worry about them breaking things? I had a friend who had a cleaner and it didn't last long as she would break all manner of things and not tell him. (One being a football trophy he had from when he was younger). The first he knew was when he'd find various bits in his bin.

Wedding band update!

We did some recording on Sunday to get some tracks together for our promo video. It went very well and I must say, we're lucky with the singer we've found. She's very good!

I have a good feeling about this!

Some of them are very common, some are quite civilised. It's up to you to find that out when you interview the candidates.
