    I'm just looking at pictures of Brad Pitt and the girl twin, I think her name is Vivian? Anyway, those two should be tarred and feathered for child cruelty - not only does that year old baby have hoop earrings, she has a MULLET.

    Some people just don't know where to stop.

    And with an all-new can of worms opened I am off to bed ;)

    Sorry! :o Realised it wasn't really needed or helpful, but I was a bit slow to trim. Sorry.

    I do feel good about the NHS care we get though, even my OH who is of course not a UK citizen and whose personal tax contributions to the country have been pretty small - I know our taxes go on a great many other things too but healthcare is one of the ones that feels really valuable on a personal level sometimes.

    Having spent an evening talking to an intensive care nurse in an american hospital recently (prob not too far from your dear wife's folks) I am more than grateful for the national health service. Our little family has had quite a bit out of them recently so at least I am getting my money's worth.

    And I pay shedloads of tax!!!

    Tara, before you go, how was it spending time with your mum ??

    Carpy! Didn't even speak to the kids! :( I can't even look her in the eye. She did take a picture of Maddy but then walked away!
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    Yup - 3 months, maybe 6 if they still haven't got their act together to award a contract (it has only been 9 months so far to be fair *rolleyes*)

    Means another move of office but only upstairs this time.


    Any news on another course for you?

    Oh thats great news !! Hopefully they will get their act together soon then !!

    Yeah, think I might be in Gatwick this Sunday till next Friday so long as the airports stay open. Got shouted at by several customers today when I had to phone them to tell them I might not be here next week for their appointments and would this week suit instead or wait a week !! Stupid customers !!

    I'd like a high wage too, but it's not going to fall into my lap so i'll be off to college to start the long process, so that one day i can buy a house etc.

    My problem is that i'm limited i can't do anything with shifts (most of the things i'd be interested in would require this) because i don't have an OH at home to look after the kids. If i did i'd be making the most of it though!

    (I'm not complaining tho, it was my (maybe misguided, at age 17) choice to have kids:whistle:)

    Sorry, it wasn't healthcare related. Or even tax related. I was going to object to your first sentence about TC. It's not really that that !!!!ed me off about what SM said. Any time salarys/houses/cars are mentioned theres always a comment about *wishing* or *dreaming* about having it.
    I didn't wish or dream for what I have, I worked for it. I'm sick of feeling like I have to justify it.

    Theres a can of worms MFD :p

    Anyway !!!! this !!!!! I'm away to bed

    What kind of thing are you interested in Beenie?

    Same for you SM? If you want to get a better job, what kind of area would you be interested in?
