ps was very manly and built a wardrobe thingmy woo hoo
WELL DONE:T :T :T . I remember the first thing I made without a 'man' to help me and I was so everso pleased with myself.
Got to always remember that although they have all of the confidence women put stuff together correctly - using the right pieces - no fag packets and it is all done with thought and care!
today oh said i needed to buy new sealant to do something with and that he would do it 'later' ... so i ignored him and did it myself with what i had in the shelf - perfectly good!!! :money: also it was done TODAY!!!!
loki xit's nice to be important but more important to be nice!! :kisses3:0 -

I have today:
- scratch cards
- curly quizzes
- race caller (not happy with the rule change either)
- emailed college to tell them that I am going to quit
- assemble my new shelves
- not put heating on as moving the book boxes should keep me warm
- free bingo
Will do:
- check online banking
- update spreadsheets
- turn tomato sauce into pasta bake
- strip chicken legs and freeze in portions
- sort out books
Uh, oh! Pulled all the book boxes into the middle of sitting room, assmebled book shelves and now I am sitting here completely exhausted thinking how I can manage to get my sofa bed opened (as no space) to be able to go to sleep.
Nothing done in the kitchen either. I have some woopsied stir fry veg in the fridge needing using so I might drag myself to do that for supper and use some of that chicken that should be in the freezer by now"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Hi,
Thank you, I am fine. I just have to face it that I can't be single mum, full time student and at the same time earning money. Also a friend asked me what I want to do when I "grow up" and what needs to happen for me to get there and college wasn't in the picture.
While I am looking for work and not in college anymore I have time to sort out my stock of books (ummm somewhere between 4k to 6k), get them organised and sold. It will so be worth in the end.
I found the energy for the stir fry and it is yummy!!!
(oooh, I have News Night on and they interview someone Irish, I love the accent and really really need to find that Irish vet one day....)"Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."

Marru
Are you saying that we women can't 'Have it all' as our elder sisters promised? Sad to say I have come to the same conclusion, but please don't tell my male colleagues just yet as I'm still trying to give the impression of keeping my head above water!
Belle
PS I'm sure this is the right decision for you - good luck with the books and am also jealous of the stir fry!Getting there...slowly!
GC : must do better
NSD: very rare
No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.0
