    You can start it anytime sure and pick it up or put it down

    I am assuming you have gone around different teams and asked people do they need errands run or photocopying done or whatever :)

    Oh I've asked everyone. The lady whose supposed to be mentor has spoken to me roughly 2/3 times, never more than "no i have nothing for you". This other lady is the one who keeps giving me work and I feel bad because she is the senior analyst is super busy so I hate interrupting her.

    When you're waiting on the second email from Pottermore, can you find out what house you're in before that?

    *inner HP nerd emerging*

    Nope. You explore the book chapter by chapter so you get sorted when Harry gets sorted :) I'm sure your email will come soon, don't fret.

    That's the same reason I signed up.



    I took a hake fillet out of the freezer earlier and it's still not thawed:( Got it beside a heater now on the floor and I have to keep an eye on it in case the cats decide to eat it.

    Yeah but I wanted to do a bit of a batter on them and I'd find it much more awkward battering frozen fish, and not too sure if it'll cook fully if I don't.

    Still looks very frozen:( might abandon that idea and eat it tomorrow. Don't know what else I have.

    Done but oh crap I put my hand under the cold tap and it felt about as cold as the fish, put a little hot water in too just so the water wasn't freezing.

    Really should have took it out last night, I'm hungry now.

    As long as the water is not hotter than room temp it should defrost and not cook on the outside :)

    Yep. I ate so much bread over the last few days that I have a hard food baby belly and if I poke my stomach it feels like it's bruised.

    Good luck! At least after tomorrow you don't have to eat any more bread.
