That doesn't sound too bad at all, El ... I know what you mean about respects... I was in Crete when the first Gulf War was on, and we went to a war graves cemetery there, I was in tears.

i remember when hubby and i were in thailand we went to a war grave i honestly thought before i went i would be fine ...wouldnt be affected as i dont have any friends relatives etc that have been involved in war of any kind ...then i came across a grave of a 17 year old boy from lanarkshire (where i am from) and it hit me like a tidal wave ...my son was 16 at the time and i just thought he has not lived yet ...neither has this 17 year old that was transported to the other side of the world and suffered goodness only knows what ...and it really hit home...i stood mesmized to the spot imagining what kindve life this boy had had and what kindve a life he couldve had ...i imagined where he grew up his school etc ....

it is just something that has been important to me since i was a wee girl ...i am not just going for the jewish population that were killed (although i do feel heart sorry for them) but for the russians the gypsies the british the german the africans the list is endless so humanity really ...i dont know why as a child i felt it was something that was very important to me but this feeling has never left me



anyway enough depression this thread has went way down hill recently ...right banking done ...now i need to sit with a pen and a piece of paper to figure out exactly what is happening with son etc as i got the extra in my wage that will go to help and also have had to increase the over draft ...(this has now came back off as i got paid today) but i need to figure out exactly how much i need to sort it out ...i landed up being £3.47 overdrawn on my overdraft so i might get a charge but i hope not ...i transferred the money late last night and a d.d.m came out this morning but i transferred over the money over this morning so it was overdrawn for a few hours ...will phone the bank and check i think ...

scratchies done (10P) quidco clicks done and another two square coloured in ...i am loving these squares it is really helping me stay focussed ...i feel as if i am getting on top of things ...ok i know i have just added £400 to the pile but i know it will get sorted soon ...


jinky have started to read that thread ...hilarious and very typical of sp

gossip gossip gossip alert...probably not exciting for you all but it was kinda interesting for me to hear...remember second job i had ...


well they lost the contract as their application for funding was !!!!!! ...anyway someone else took it over and they got it finally so they are back up and running again ...invited people to interview for the posts available ...the people that got the job were ...boss best friends bf ...boss bf bosses brother ...wow ...wonder why ...now not one of these have a qualification between them yet others that are fully qualified got passed over ...i am sooo glad i dont work for them anymore

i have no way of getting to the airport
i have been driving my car illegally for months now and didnt even know
i am literally ready for a breakdown now

Can you tax your car online? You don't need the MOT certificate for that.

Why have you been driving illegally? Do you not have a current MOT at all?

elantan

i tried taxing it online it will check your current certificate ...i dont have one.. the garage f**ked up and gave me someone elses ...i thought i did have a current mot certificate i have one sitting here ...it just doesnt belong to my car...so i have phoned the garage and phoned vosa and the dvla no luck with any of them just now ...have to phone back tomorrow ...the garage will get me one tomorrow but that doesnt make up for the last few months i have been illegal and it doesnt help me get my car taxed in the mean time
