    Greenbee you don't sound like a woman for whom any job was beyond her capabilities.

    Jo ((hugs)) I've gone out with someone at work and then had to work with him and the woman he had an "affair" with and then spectacularly dumped me for. Not fun working with them both, or going to work socials, but...prompted me to apply for promotion which was a really great reason to go elsewhere to work. Now I'm delighted she has him!
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    DD has had a go at ironing :D She said it was exciting :rotfl: She'll grow tired of that once I'm confident she can do it herself without me holding on with a pinch to the iron and let her do it ;):rotfl::rotfl: She's done 2 tea towels on her own and I've shown her how to do her Brownie uniform and school blouses :D:rotfl: She's also done the washing up tonight so thats £1 pocket money she's earnt, only another £5.50 maximum for her to earn this week through chores :D BTW I'm not mad, I'm including the cost of her Brownies & after school club in with that pocket money ;)

    BNest go do the trouser and chase her to get washed.... ;) :wave:

    Evening all :wave:

    Another 5 hrs OT in the bag ;) should all be paid this month as well wooohoooo. Keeping fingers crossed they have put time and a half down for me instead of just time. Was a bit annoyed today though as there was not enough time for me to pack the till up properly as I would have been late for W depsite me telling them when I arrived that I had to be leaving at 2.30 on the dot. Anyways I left them looking for a cash error :eek: which turned out not to be an error, rushing to balance the till meant I miscounted some of the cash. They rang to say it was ok so all's well. Next time they will give me enough time to pack up myself :p

    Done some sorting of washing since I got in and only have a small pile of ironing to do which I am hoping to do tonight.

    Dinner cooking now and thread all caugt up, apologies for no individual mentions, have a hug all round.

    No need to apologise to me I just dont want to see you waste your week when you have important things to do - like finding another job!!!!!:rolleyes:
    and as for being scared of me ......:confused: huh some people - you try to help them..........

    Jo honey you are not a mug - he is and a toe rag and you have nothing to chastise yourself about - just because you loved the guy it didnt mean he should take advantage of that - you go into work tomorrow and hold your head up high - it will aggravate him more to see you getting on with your life without him - show him you dont need him (at least in public!) (((hugs)))
    cally_c hugs for you and DD - a difficult time - dont suppose her hormones help either - the exams are so stressful but I hope she comes through this with flying colours. had to chuckle about the fish - stooooopid people!!:rotfl:

    broke22 well done keeping going with the lists :T- dont worry if you dont post - there are lots of flyers who dont -we are always here if you need help.

    I am sure I have missed some - having a problem concentrating - sorry if I have missed you - please shout if I have missed your stars. Hugs to everyone.

    I finally managed to get my meds but cant take until later :rolleyes:
    posted a parcel at the post offoce - blooming half hour wait - what a queue after the holiday yesterday
