    Hi Mellika, good to hear from you, though not very happy with what you say about what folk (some I guess) are like to those needing help. I'll have a look tomorrow as I quite often put some help there myself. I really do wish you all the very best of luck in getting that job you so need, very soon!

    Precious little roadkill here either, in fact I've only have about 8p since Christmas! Ah well, maybe it's our turn soon! :j All the best Mellika, please try hard not to worry too much, after all it won't change the situation, but a lovely smile on your face just might!! :D

    Sue with more !!!!{hugs}}} !!!!{happy hugs too}}} x

    Sue, I didn't mean to offend with that comment. All I meant is that a few people (very few!) can come across as not-so-friendly and right now I couldn't take that. I still want to post an SOA and ask for help but need DH's permission :rolleyes: He's the private/paranoid type.

    Thanks for all the hugs, they definitely help! :D

    PS: no more pennies in my pot, can you tell I don't spend money ?! :eek:
