    :mad: RANT ALERT:mad:
    Been to job centre and got told off for going in early. My time slot is 09:40 so i got there at 09:15 handed in my book and went to look at the boards (in agreement arrive 15 mins early so you can peruse the juobs) She shouted my name at 09:25 and said why have you come in early i explained that i came straight from school and dh has an appointment in sheffield. She said if i come in early again she will not be at liberty to see me. I just turned round and said to her at least i have come in i thought it was better to be early and i didnt ask to be seen she could have left my book till my alloted time slot.
    I was really cross as this silly woman. On the whole i have found being a jobseeker totally demoralising and when i get a job i shall be telling them just that. I am sure they should not talk to people this way. I can feel a long letter coming on.

    You should put in a complaint - who exactly to JS+ staff think they are :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I had a run in with our JC+ last week - I'd rung in on the regular line, but as I'm a CAB adviser they refused to speak to me as I should have rung the special number. We don't have one, and she refused to send one to the CAB office :confused::confused::confused: What the ****** was I supposed to do for my poor client :confused::confused::confused:

    I'm off to I**a with a friend next week - may see you there!
    Aah Penny, are you still hankering after Tom?

    Of course :heartsmil:smileyhea:love::iloveyou::heart::heartpuls:happyhear:grinheart:love::kisses3::smileyhea:heartsmil:blushing::kisses2: He's hankering after me, too, but we don't want to tell the world yet :heartpuls
    I predicted Tom to win early on in last year's Strictly, so hoping to spot the winner again :D

    Off soon to get ready :j

    Penelope penguin - take your flak jacket if you're going to I*** and watch out for low flying trolleys!!!

    We've got a whole weekend off as my dad's op has been cancelled due to him being ill. DS has been off school - really bad pains. Doctor is querying a grumbling appendicitis but know's us well and said don't go to the hospital yet as he's not ill enough....we've got to keep an eye on him. If we go in they'll just stick him in a bed and watch him and our doctor said we can do that at home. He's already phoned me three times to see how he is and he seems to be improving. I'll be watching him VERY closely.

    Garden = very tidy! House is clean and tidy but i've not actually looked at the lists so can't say for definite if i've completed any.

    Hugs to everyone xx
