Queen Clean

Decided to start the week with a better attitude. Did a little light housework and was out on the run to Mt Iron by 9.20am. Didn't feel any better than it did before, but that's running for you - it's the aftermath that feels great - scones and coffee!
However, no time for that as the lovely ladies at the job agency invited me to take on another cleaning job (3rd days work in 6 weeks, I really felt I had to say yes). So shower, pancake, banana, water, picked up the time sheet on the bike and was at the job (just out of town) within 30 mins of call. Immediately hit it off with the woman who has her own cleaning company, and had called the agency in desperation to get help today. She had already decided that if she didn't like what they sent THIS time, she was sending me straight back. Before I'd even started cleaning she'd offered me a job, working with her until mid January. I cautioned that she might want to see the results of my efforts. We identified with each other on a lot of levels - helped that we are the same age and have a similar out look.. Both of us as interested in each other and lot's to say. Decided that it was not the job, but who you work with that makes life good sometimes, and agreed to take it on. After seeing my superb cleaning prowess, she asked me if I'd be willing to supervise a team, eventually.  Accepts that I need to be flexible over the holidays. She has 13 and 15 yr old children so understands. See! I CAN do it.
Topped off with Finn and I's tennis lessons tonight and my ladies are a great group. Margaret and I arranged to have a wee practice game tomorrow. Got to get that serve sorted.
Spook out cycling with Pete, the man who offered him the job in the first place, back in February.
Finn got invite to a football party on Saturday, he and a pal the only 2 boys invited! Interesting.
Everyone happy.
