poohbear there is a few merchant navy families where we are, well their partners work for them and the families live here, doesn't seem to have been effected so far. Has he applied yet? I always say with anything that if the worst they can say is no, it's worth applying. http://www.mna.org.uk/Careers.htm My DP went on about the working overseas thing because of the lack of employment in the field he's qualified in but as I said, that's not doing what he's qualified in either. He does sometimes enjoy what he's doing, he enjoys the flexibility the most. He only works 3 nights a week max at the mo and still brings in enough for us to survive on ok and still has time with th kids and for his hobbies.

Dusty, that's a good find, I will have a look on there, especially now they do cashback (makes you wonder because they always said they wouldn't do cashback or vouchers but now they do both!)

ETA Argos email I just got for money off toys !!!! £5 off when spend £30, £10 off when spend £50 and £20 off when spend £100 TOY1108PVE before 25th November! Only for online home deliveries. So that's a little better than 10% off toys.

boddy pleased you found it useful

I just looked at the weekend list, thought I was going to stamp my feet and refuse to use it, but doesn't look too bad I don't think.

TD on at the mo, need to empty in 12 minutes I think will be left so I can fold/hang and hopefully get away without ironing it!

soappie

I'm still here. Still feel awful but have managed somethings today but not much. Tried to eat this evening and just couldn't face anything.

I'm off to bed again

OH sent me this today, thought I'd pass it on here I particularly like the Offspring one,;)

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE

NICKNAMES

• If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
• If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT

• When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in £20, even though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
• When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY

• A man will pay £3 for a £1 item he needs.
• A woman will pay £1 for a £3 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.

BATHROOMS

• A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel .
• The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS

• A woman has the last word in any argument.
• Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE

• A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
• A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

MARRIAGE

• A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
• A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP

• A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
• A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL

• Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
• Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING

• Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
• A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!

SO, send this to the women who have a sense of humour and who can handle it ... and to the men who will enjoy reading it.

lil_me

((hugs)) for soappie, managing some things is better than most manage when poorly, hope you feel better in the morning x x

Triker, like it lol
