    Honeybear :A I reckon that perhaps I should not send you some chocolate mice (I was going to - naughty of me eh?) as they might not get in the house now if all the 'mouse' entrances will be sealed off:rotfl:

    It's awful when it gets to that stage......have a :grouphug: pervy hug :D

    Hope you get the option you prefer (whichever that is :confused:)

    and you can groany moany windbag all you like on here - its only the internet :)

    me? I have work til the end of the month. The money will see me through Feb and March, then skid row beckons :)

    Still - mustn't grumble

    :DNeigh, neigh, and thrice neigh :D
  • Yeah well hope its all OK for you (chucks a dodgy hug straight back atcha)

    DUnno what I want to do about work, I've never in my life felt so utterly under-managed, clueless about what I am supposed to be doing and end up for the first time in my life not being able to acheive *something* which as I am a stoodent is seemingly the way we 'train folks'

    its like trying to make a origami in the dark, blindfolded - and being told that somewhere in the room there is a paper making kit with NO instructions

    If I were their managers I'd be furious as what a waste of their money and my time it is - but instead they all just feel terrribly disapointed that I am not 'achieving' this miraculous ideal thing that no one will exactly specify

    BUT enough about me - lol I sound so bitter - I'm OK (ish) - I use to be 'employable' - lol!

    Yeah I'll stay if I can - BHB needs some willow after all :)

    And my little ankle biters unfortuneately for me 'refuse' to work - something about having to go to school or something - blaggards.

    But if I end up leaving - I will try and get some gardening work til someat comes up - tres glamourous - but it'll feed us

    Might even do up Darwin a bit and advertise him to be rented for holidays (for folks visiting)

    But maybe not by Londinum standards ?:rotfl:


    I was gonna offer to give Jo's garden a once over whilst I was down (if she wants) so if you get a list together (and maybe borrow a helicopter - maybe I can do a bit of gardening whilst I am down?:rotfl:)

    What do you do Faye?

    Here I am thinking about having a glass of wine and I know it won't lead to more than one, I don't have that feeling on me tonight, but I keep thinking I shouldn't.
    Maybe if I chat to myself enough a solution will become apparent
    Trying to keep in budget.
