    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.

    Evening guys, I am sick :( The only reason I made it into work was because lil bro took me and there is no one to cover if I went sick. I have a cold/fluy/muscle ache thing going on Shrug_by_melonhead_emotion.gif Didn't stop me walking the dog though :o Another early night I think :rotfl:

    IA, sorry about the job :(

    Hi PAP, snuggle up and keep warm! Hope you can stave it off

    interesting start to the evening. I literally walked in to spy that my freezer door wasn't quite shut and I spent the first 5 minutes with a knife breaking ice off the inside so it would shut again. Must have been last night when I put the leftover cottage pie in, but I could swear it was shut.

    That was on top of walking up the drive to find an unwanted chocolate related delivery outside my front door.......... :(

    Worrying news from OH:(

    He said that today there was someone from a company putting stickers on all the machines which said that they were property of the bank.

    It sounds to me that the business has defaulted on a loan. Management have denied this and said that they have borrowed some money but they wouldnt stick notices on for that, lying !!!!!!:mad:

    They havent got any money to pay their creditors as OH is one of the buyers and they are on STOP with all of them.


    I did say that I wished for my OH to have a change in carreer, I guess you have to be careful what you wish for:o
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Oi Bookie......!!!!!!!!!!

    I am on the wine and have ordered another chinese! Well my sis is here so I have an excuse. I am banned from here after my tea to do the tidying and ironing - and purple will talk to you for me...she is also going to do my farming.

    still thinking about my wants

    Sorry about the job IA...but remember next time they shouldn't ask about childcare issues or children. Whether you can sort the kids out is of no concern, but it tends to influence people anyway. Even I am guilty of it - human nature I suppose.

    Job interview I once had....

    How many children do you have?
    How old are they?
    So how old are you then?
    Was the fourth a mistake?

    I kid you not........
