    On a lighter note at least all of your housework is getting done, you can always come and sort my flat out if you feel like a job! ;)

    Come on! Im the one without a job here! I'll take it :rotfl:

    Whats everyone got planned for the weekend? I've got my 5 yr old niece tonight and my sister is staying with her 3 little ones for the rest of the weekend. My last payday today and im too scared to check what i've been paid, just incase ive overestimated! :eek: Didnt realise i was such a loser!

    You're not a loser Lulu! Be brave and check your balance! Any news on the job front? You're welcome to come to mine and clean but you only get paid with love I'm afraid! :o

    I'm not going to the wedding fair I was planning on going to tomorrow but I'm going to Hobbycraft with my bridesmaid who is also a B2B and I'm her bridesmaid-phew, that's a lot of back story!- to look at bits for invitations for her and to look for inspiration for me! We may make it to Keighley (well, Silsden) on Sunday for the wedding dress sale at Ava Rose Hamilton but I don't know yet.
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Hmmmmm.....on second thoughts......:rotfl:
    Waiting for a couple of application forms to come through at the moment and still steadily applying for things, but dont seem to be getting anywhere.
    Good luck with the wedding shopping. I'll be baking cakes with a 5, 3 & 2 year old, wish me luck :D

    Glad you're being well looked after Flower!

    Sounds like your sister has her hands full Lulu! Have fun with the kiddies this weekend; it's a nice excuse to have a bit of play and make mess!

    Lara, you're super brave! I think I said in my other post that my OH went to Uganda last year and said it was incredible, a real experience. Is this for your PhD?

    South Africa is the least 'African' place in Africa and although European influences are quite strong, it's still unlike anywhere else I've been. If OH gets the placement I think I will work out the end of my contract, which has been extended until end June - yay! And then I'd like to go out and join him for 4-6 weeks maybe...

    Then we wouldn't have to rent out our flat (and cat :eek:) and we could avoid taking a mortgage break too as he would be paid 20% of his normal salary which would cover bills and stuff here. It may not happen, but it's nice to have a semi-plan in place!

    WELL DONE Tink!!! :j :beer: You must be relieved! Yay! :D

    Yep Poddle and Birdie, my trip is for uni stuff. I am going to study mobile phone repair shops (well supposedly LOL). Not sure if it's brave, but I wanted a big adventure as I have never done any travelling or backpacking or anything like that. I hope it's exciting and not too lonely.

    Sounds like fab plan, Poddle, it would be great to spend 4 - 6 weeks in SA. That's really exciting. How did your OH like Uganda?

    Lulu fingers crossed for your job applications and have a good weekend with the little ones.

    Flower - big hugs again to you, here's dodgy one :grouphug:

    Well done Tink bet that is a relief!

    I have told my Mum and Dad about my decision flat wise and they said that we should do whatever makes us happy so is all good. Need to look for a car now! Had to get the train down here to Southampton and hated it.

    Sounds like you OH is being a real sweetie Flower. Glad you're feeling a bit better x

    Well done on finishing your exams Tink! Enjoy your night out :D

    Didn't get anywhere near sorting my makeup out. Played with some Clarins samples instead :o Did another fake theory test and got 41/50 which still isn't a pass but not bad to say I still haven't really read up on it.
