    Oh and can someone tell me why my husband is sat on the sofa watching television, have done a bit of ironing this morning, having his hair cut and then going to the post office. Does he think that effort equates to being a lazy arrse and not bothering to look for a flipping job....I could cry I really could.

    Sally, playing devils advoate here but do you think he's depressed? Maybe he feels useles without a job and money and feels that you're coping quite well with all the daily stuff without his input....might be worth a little "wobble" of your own to make him feel needed?

    Afternoon all... fluffed my assessment because I only got a lvl one in maths, they will email but dont hold your breath... Thomas still isnt home, I have just posted 70 leaflets through the few streets around me, ran out of ink now (1 & 1/2 cartridges used)... Sat here in floods of tears... I hope if he passed it was peaceful :cry:Speak soon....

    Hope he comes home soon...my youngest went missing for 4 days, sauntered back in as if nothing had happened.

    i think he may have had a pulse, but all the blood generally flowed in only one direction.... and it wasn't to his brain...

    we know, we saw the picture!


    True, he didn't have a heart. The blood was merely flushed toward his nether regions by the oozing throb of his festering soul. To be fair, there wasn't much to fill anyway...

    But yes, that goodbye kiss in a public place apparently constitutes not just 'infidelity' (which actually I would agree with), but 'sleeping with half of the country'.

    Haven't yet, but I'm working on it. :cool:

    Does anyone know how quidco works? When I go to my account it says earnings tracking £1.71, but then on transactions it says £7.71. Does it mean that £6's already gone in and the rest is pending? Cos that'd be strange, the £6 would be the hotel chocolat thing which hasn't been paid for yet, but the £1.71 is stuff that has been paid for.

    Sorry if I'm being stupid!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    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.

    Hubby witnessed a man in Morrisons making an utter t!t of himself over this offer last night.

    He went to the till with 15 bottles of Pepsi and kicked off when he was informed that he could only buy 6 bottles with the offer (it was clearly marked on the shelf)

    He asked to see the Manager and kicked off in front of him, wanted the Manager to go down to the front entrance with him to show him that the sign did not have a limit printed on it.
    The Manager suggested that he write to head office and said idiot wanted to take the huge sign with him for proof!
