Hi, I am a bit late here today. I saw it was kids rooms and found other things to do.
DD called round and helped me to pot on some seedlings which have needed doing for a while.

Thanks hex and greenbee for the seeds:D

Thanks too toots,DK and hex for your kind thoughts about DS2's job. They haven't paid him either which is stressing us all. He has outgoings that I am guarantor for so it is worrying me a bit.
newlywed and bunglegirl I think the jobcentre bit is the worst for DS2. He has been putting off ringing them as he went through the whole process last month.

carol Good luck for todays exam.
sexymouse I hope your cold has been nipped in the bud and you are feeling better really soon. Ouch! for the cherries!

I am still feeling carp but DD has persuaded me to go with her to dog agilty later. I can watch as they all run around. I think the change of scene might help.

Thanks poohbear - hope you're feeling better soon too.

I'll join in with the last bit of the HHC. Got to put another load of washing on so that I'm a step closer to decluttering the landing of the masses of washing on it.

Much sympathy for all going through the Jobcentre mill. Mr LW was out of work for 11 months a few years back, and he said it was an awful experience - they treated him like he was a lazy good-for-nothing who wanted to sponge of the State, when he was searching daily for jobs and sending off an average of 2 or 3 email applications a day.

I do still have a list of all the job websites he used. Some are IT specialist, but not all of them are. If anyone would like the list, please feel free to PM me.

My HHC turned into almost an hour. We cleaned out the rabbits and hamster and tidied and hoovered the living room. I'm going to sort tea out now for the boys, i'm still full from lunch.

Sorry if I am telling you something you already know but if the company has gone into administration then worst case is the government pay out for notice, unpaid wages and holiday pay but I think it takes a while to come through. I spent half the morning looking into TUPE and insolvency as it happens. If they are still trading then he needs to do a tribunal application for unpaid wages. PM me if I can help .

I have washed and dried our bedding, emptied and filled the DW, roasted a chicken for dinner and collapsed .
