    Supply teacher - but have worked in the same couple of schools for years. I was full-time before xmas and loved it. Roughish area but kids and staff are great - docs appointment was xmas eve and whoosh from there :D.

    I don't qualify for sick pay so finances weren't looking great. We kept up debt repayments til march (maxed everything out) then told them all they were getting a £1 a month. In a way, NHL sorted my debts for a while. Had the incessant phone calls etc but frankly I've paid every month as far as I could and Good Luck getting more :rotfl:We also run a community music organisation which is most of the debt came from in a way - 60k debt was for living expenses over 8 years (I know, bad, bad, bad).

    Joke "How do you make a musician a millionaire? Give him 2 million!" badoom tisch

    sorry x :D

    Nice christmas present huh! sometimes it takes something really bad to make us reassess the way we live....

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Sammy, horrible situation to be put in but I think I'd be inclined to keep my gob shut hun. He obviously wants to deal with it his way, and at 80, I think he has that right.

    Act a bit dumb, she never told you owt ;)

    Hugs Lenza. We're always here to keep you company and chat.

    Succinct as ever my lovely spudly...:rotfl:

    It was one of other two SIL's and doesn't get on with VAT SIL....i think she has put me in a difficult situation. I would prefer it if he went for tests and then dealt with the prognosis afterwards...but once the secret is out there the decision will be taken out of his hands.....

    I was thinking of pretending to be too drunk to remember, I am not sure she will remember telling me to be honest.

    I think I am going to sit on it for a day or two ....

    Sorry - misread and jumped to wrong conclusio (or SIL). Silly Bookie.
    Thinking about it for a couple of days might be prudent but you can think out loud on here.

  • Matza (also Matzah, Matzoh, or Matsah, Hebrew: מַצָּה‎, in Ashkenazi matzo or matzoh, and, in Yiddish, matze) is a cracker-like flatbread made of white plain flour and water. The dough is pricked in several places and not allowed to rise before or during baking, thereby producing a hard, flat bread. It is similar in preparation to the Southwest Asian lavash and the Indian chapati.[1]
    Matza is the substitute for bread during the Jewish holiday of Passover, when eating chametz—bread and leavened products—is forbidden. Eating matza on the night of the seder is considered a positive mitzvah, i.e., a commandment. In the context of the Passover seder meal, certain restrictions additional to the chametz prohibitions are to be met for the matza to be considered "mitzva matza", that is, matza that meets the requirements of the positive commandment to eat matza at the seder.
    In The Netherlands it is traditional for Christian families to eat matzo at Easter.[
