    I'm sorry to hear about the hours L. If you pass your course will that help you to get something else?

    On the jewellery I read that you usually get more by selling the items as pieces, not for the weight of the gold.

    Hi everyone, still here, trying not to be fed up and woe is me.

    Went to the leavers service at school today as DS2 is moving onto high school in September. Chaps are glad to be finished for the hols.

    Had my last course session yesterday and boy am I glad its over. Went for a lovely meal with one of the other ladies and put the world to rights.

    OH and I are off to London tomorrow and the chaps follow on Sunday. OH is back on Wednesday and we come back on the Friday. War Horse Monday night, flicks Tuesday, dance thing with sister Wednesday, nieces birthday tea Thursday and home Friday.

    Phoned WFT about my claim, nothing happening and going to have to reapply. Something to look forward to when I get back.

    DS1 has agreed to let me use his car till he passes his test. Still not sure what to do with mine, stick it in an auction or trade it in. Need to get rid somehow.

    Have a good week
    L
