  • BB - thanks for asking about the job - really enjoying it, it's full time, but I'm coping Ok and the family have got used to me not being around when they leave in the morning and I get home around 5:00 pm - I think they actually rather like the fact that I'm not there!!! I send lots and lots of texts ...

    Is your job OK? Houses starting to get sold again? I hope you are OK and that Mr BB isn't as depressed now. Even if he didn't get that job the other week, hopefully the interview experience will have been good for him.

    Must go to beddie-boes now, I'm up at 6:15 tomorrow. It's hard at the moment with the dark and the foul weather.

    Was hoping to be able to watch Corrie tonight to see Tony get arrested for Liam's murder (weird plot that, now Tony's with Maria), but didn't have time, as usual!!

    Hope everybody is OK

    Ain't that the truth! :T

    Dread to think how things would end up for me without this place. And I'm enjoying working my way to debt-free-ness & all the things I'm learning as I go :)was even talking about how great Martin & this site is in the pub earlier :o;)

    And now it's bedtime for me too :)

    PIR, well done for keeping control over the weekend & I'm really glad the job is working out :)

    Budgie, glad you're ok after the abuse worry on that thread :)

    Fay, get well soon! :)

    Love & bearhugs to all

    "NEVER DOUBT YOUR OWN QUALITY"
  • Hello :o I haven't dropped off the face of the Earth.

    I'm tired and need to go to bed, but felt the urge to drop in and say "hi"

    I read as far back as Jo's thread (((hugs)))

    I'm doing okay and working on total sobriety :eek: I had another awful night/day a few weeks ago and never want to go there again. I've been laying low and have been in a pretty foul mood, but it seems to be getting better :D

    Christmas is around the corner and I LOVE Christmas. I've been putting my £5 a day in a tin and I'm going on a spending spree on Saturday for the kids Christmas. Although the Santa lists continue to change daily :rolleyes:

    Much love X
    Need to start again :o
  • Waves to FH - glad you're OK been missing you being about :)

    Glad to hear the fivers going away for some fun!
