    I do relate to it in a way, although i never felt like i was contributing much cos when i was part time i was earning too little to pay tax anyway! lol. I was on about £3.60 an hour. Used to annoy me that the 22 year old's who lived at home got paid more than me though! Tho that was more before preg cos i moved into private rented at 16 to get away from my moron mother!
    My biggest motive was not ending up like her, she'll never work again and she's only 40-odd, she's a proper waster. I don't want the kids thinking its a way of life like she sees it. And also people were always surprised to learn that i was in a stable job, cos they assume being single i'd not bother. Although, i am that stereotype now! Just temp though. :(

    Urrrgh. So tired today. Evil munchkin.

    On cars: I am very jealous of all you car-buying types :mad: I bought a Daewoo (surprisingly nice, honest) new 10 years ago, but it is definitely getting close to its last legs now.
    I get a car allowance from work (just as a perk, not because I need to drive for work) but I drive so little that it's really not worth giving up the cash to have a company car. I ought to buy something fairly new and more child-friendly and spacious and safe, but I am still hoping forlornly to save up a mortgage deposit at some point... (though I should probably be trying harder at this).

    So I feel like I shouldn't buy something when it'll set a mortgage back another year or something and I do still have a car that is technically working! Bah!

    Morning all..

    It's taking a lot of effort to keep my eyes open this morning. My own fault.. must have an early night tonight :o

    <random> Wow, there's a "Chief Test Pilot" on the news... imagine the cost of his life insurance! :eek: :cool: </random>

    Hope everyone had a good night (*hands matchsticks to Bruno*) and has a nice day. The worker must get dressed now.. :hello: xx

    ETA: Forgot to say yesterday, the doc did agree to remove two meds from Rhys' list so we're down to three :j

    Hello,

    Thought I would graduate to the parent thread as my baby is a week old today! Sophie was born on the 13th April via c-section, we only got out of hospital on Sunday as I wasn't very well after she was born.

    Jolene
    Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis) since 1996 (quite possibly Crohn's Disease).
