    Morning All

    Haven't had a chance to read yesterdays thread yet - but congratualations to everyone who ran at Leeds.

    I have been celebrating all weekend as my daughter got a 2:1 in her degree. I am so proud of her.

    She has been looking round but so far nothing has really caught her eye. She has always been interested in helping homeless people so would like to work in Social Housing of some sort, but finding the right job could take a while.

    She would take anything I think, but has fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (even more reason for me to be so proud of her, to have got a degree whilst in constant pain) which means there are certain things she can't do. She isn't even sure she could work full time so it makes looking for a job even more difficult.

    Of course - although the newspaper that is coming says it is against their policy to take photos of people with big cheques! No idea why.:confused:

    Can't decide whether to put the washing out or not.

    You coming past me on the way back?

    I don't think so otherwise I would've popped in for a cuppa.....My mum lives in Lancashire so its other t'other side and back down M6.

    Do big cheques have sort codes and account no's on:confused:
