    Eselt well done on the job!!!!

    Orchid - poor olivia! Hope she's ok. Kids are such a worry aren't they!?

    Fay - don't worry, I've already told him I'm doing it myself. Am going to have a bash at fixing the loose bricks in the garden wall while I'm at at too! He's a bit sheepish about it. He seems to think we have to get my SIL to sort everything, but they let us rent this house at a reduced rate so I feel its OUR job to do small stuff. Honestly, some men!!!!!!! MInd you, it would have been nice having you come down to fix my path!:D

    Have house to myself for an hour. OH gone toddling off to do the shopping. I did offer to do it myself...albeit half-heartedly!!!

    Hope everyone is ok - very quiet on here this afternoon!!!

  • :T Congratulations on the new job Eselt :T


    YM - Either that's a very big glass or you are very very short and have to have tiny steps up to your house :D

    Hope everyone else is OK.

    No news here yet. I've had major attacks of ants in the pants and ended up going for a long walk on Hampstead Heath as I couldn't stay in waiting for news any more. The latest is no news yet. Hope there is a good reason. I'm feeling a bit stunned by the whole thing. Still here, trying to take it in my stride and failing.

    Eselt, well done on the job, hope it turns out for the best even if it's not the one you wanted.

    Sleep well everyone.

    FUAS, wow that was an amazing positive post yesterday! How are you feeling today, have you done your Wii Fit yet ;)

    Eselt, congratulations on the job! Pat yourself on the back, this must have another little boost to your self esteem, they wanted you!! What is the job you will be doing?

    Orchid, how's lil Olivia today, poor little thing xx

    WBF, did they say they were going to tell you whether you got the job yesterday or not? I would have bitten all my nails off by now. Still keeping everything crossed till told otherwise :)

    Fay :wave:

    MP :wave:

    DC, congrats on the 11 days hunny! :D

    40SM, I am also now on 11 days when you update thank you :)

    Morning all, it is very quiet on here, everyone else off having a real life I guess ;)

    Jo, Thanks for asking, The hospital checked Olivia out and said she was fine, she seems her usual self anyway (bombing around like she's the one taking berocca :p) Hows the vertigo? my sil suffers and I think it comes and goes, she said she is ok at the moment, but then it does come back suddenly and for no reason really (she thinks) she never stops driving though which she probably should :confused:

    Will be around today but then away tonight till Sunday, will try to get on here at Mums to see how everyone is....

    Have a great day all xxx

    They said I would hear yesterday so I don't think that's a good sign. I have no nails to bite, otherwise I would have done. I'm finding it hard to settle to anything and slightly regretting the two drinking days but did enjoy it at the time. Still, maybe there will be good news today. It's a struggle not to think they've offered it to someone else. I suppose something unexpected could have happened. I will go to the gym now to take my mind off the waiting.

    Have a good day everyone!
