    morning again
    I just had to come back to say that I am MAD about the way the GC challenge is treating people on the thread...all the women seem to be apologising for posting and I think it is a disgrace. .some women come on here to get away from that sort of environment at home they should not have to say sorry everytime they post or even want to post or make a comment on something,,

    I AM BLO**Y ANGRY i'M AFRAID IT IS DISGUSTING

    Sorry that you feel like that - I'm about to go out, but will be contacting you later.

    TBH, if you have a problem with a different thread, this thread really isn't the place to post it - keep the concerns on the thread concerned (there's a board rule, but I'm too busy to find it for you this minute).

    Sending lots of (((hugs))) to Pippa and her Mum.

    JackieO - glad you're back with us. My PC crashed on Thursday afternoon and my DS1 got it working again that evening but it was horrible to be without it for even that short a time. It was coming on here I missed the most. Hope things are going well for you. And I echo Elona - you are NOT old!

    Evening All

    Not much happening here. Took back another hour owed me from work. Spent most the afternoon asleep. A friend called to tip me off about a job, which looks right up my street, so will give that a go.

    Doing my daily clicks at the moment and working my way through surveys.

    Dinner was left overs from yesterday's roast.

    Tummy's churning like nothing on earth today and feeling a bit rough. Think the bug that's hitting the office is trying to get hold of me. It is NOT going to win.

    Hope everyone's ok

    Evening folks,

    Was not sure if I posted 100 times this morning - I think my lappy has a virus, it is being totally silly :mad:

    Work was sooooo busy - we were 7 people down, which was bad enough...but then my boss decided to send all bar 2 of us home at four :clap: yes, big clap for him. So I ended up picking right up til 8 o clock and doesn't my back know it!!

    Anyway, got home to yummy spag bol, just cooking the Gb now so will eat dinner in a min :)

    Jet - Have you had a look at your credit report recently? There could be an error on it that needs correcting. martin says that if you fail a credit check, to check it immediately.
    PippaS - Your poor Mum. I hope she gets better soon.
    We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment
  • I'm so sorry to hear your mum is unwell Pippa. I hope she improves soon. Take care. xxx
