    Evening all

    Thanks for your comments on FB - they made DH laugh, something that's been lacking of late..

    It's been hectic here, DD1 has tonsilitis, DD2 has hormones...fun fun fun.

    We've been turned down for Income support, we have £9 a month too much coming in....... according to the "entitled to" website we should qualify...we'll wait for the paperwork and see what's what.....of course that's now ballsed up the housing benefit claim as they worked out we'd get IS. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :mad:

    In better news, I found a bottle of raspberry and blackberry wine in the rack that I'd forgotton.....yums. :D

    Pooky enjoy the wine :beer:

    :mad: @ work, alas my hints/comments have come to nothing and it was made clear today that I would only get o/t not contracted hours. I think its just reaffirmed that I need out now. So I will apply for those two jobs I saw today, it means a £100 monthly wage cut but what can I do :confused: I am going crazy and I will not have a repeat of last nights emotions... So here goes :rotfl:

    Pap, less than £25 a week seems a reasonable amount for sanity! Health is always more important than wealth

    Eaten me sunday lunch now.....twas lush...

    Green Day was fantastic. Me and my friend ended up four rows from the front, jumping up and down with sweaty people...:eek: They were on for 3 hours...talk about value for money.

    I didn't fall asleep during the concert but it was hard to get out of the NEC and then there were roadworks on the M42 which meant all those people were trying to get home with one lane open. I didn't get home till 1am and was in danger of falling asleep at the wheel. :cool:

    Thanks Ames :D Beanie technically no, some months I will be negative around £50 while on CD. The job offers £95 p/w training money but they also get you into college for free :) Is it worth the risk? But I may not even get it yet. If I do then I will worry about it all then. However I cant stay where I am just because of money or lack of as even now my months barely break even as you know :o
