Yes all ok - just struggling with the job hunting and as for claiming job seekers (which I have to do for mortgage insurance to kick in) ... well that's is something else!! ...
Been very busy with garden last week whilst the weather was good!! And have been using any spare internet time for job searching!! But I'm giving myself time on here now - I need to - this place keeps me sane
Glad to hear all is positive!!

just caught up with the diary & so good to hear everything is going well at mo - hows Ruby doing? - I'm lumbered at the moment with a twisted knee - I thought gardening was supposed to be good for you! I'm on crutches at the mo & I'm not a very patiant patient - I don't do ill - really peed off as my weeks holiday started to day & I had so many plans, also supposed to be going away this w/e for a skittles/dancing trip
house sounds really good & you sound really positive
I looked into ebaying a few things but now you have to have paypal just to sell & I closed mine after an attempted fraud in the States which Paypal didn't pick up on but thankfully my credit card provider did & stopped the $500 going thru - paypal tried to say that I must have left my password lying around but I don't do that its all in my head & anyway it was done in the USA, funnily enough thats where paypal is based - Hmmm?
so just doing the surveys - son came home from a school presentation yesterday & was told that on average it'll cost over £6k per year whilst he's in Uni Arghh!!
so really fed up & got to watch my 78 yr old Dad digging my garden & I can't stop him!0 -
