    Lou, think it's a week at 380 for every year's service under 40, and a week and a half at 380 over 40.

    Meant a week and a half's service for every year over 40, so 5 years would be 7 and a half weeks of 380

    Lizzie that sounds stressful hon, no wonder you are feeling flat today.

    Could you pick up more hours at school? Or would they let you work somewhere else for a few hours a week?

    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.

    I love S&V popcorn, I like any popcorn really but would rather have savoury than sweet. Very rarely eat it though.

    List is slowly getting smaller, but haven't heard from my date since this morning - we were texting a bit, I asked him if he was looking forward to this evening, and he hasn't replied. That was about 6 hours ago!

    I'm sure he's just busy but seriously, I'm sure men get taught how to make women nervous at 'Man School', along with 'How to never have to wash up again' (break lots of glasses) and 'How to be endeaingly useless' (pretend you still don't know where the towels are kept even after 10 years together).

    My two days in school are voluntary to get the experience I need for my training.

    I then have two paid jobs, one at a theme park and one at a theatre, but I dont know if I can afford to have such a small income once we get the house.

    Super-stressed trying to figure out what to do to get to where I want to be and keep everyone around me happy too.

    Oh well...at least I'm looking forward to work tonight.

    Morning folks, off to work in a bit until 1pm.


    I am still considering organising a meet in Durham which will incorporate a trip to Beamish Museum for those who would like to go. I think Easter is too close though so how about in the Summer Holidays? I was thinking August time as I am on holiday in July.
    :o

    I would love a meet in Durham. I'm only 20 miles away, you can get a bus from the end of the road and I have rooms!
