    Hi Pennywise

    It must be awful for you with all the uncertainty at the moment and it is really hard to stay motivated but they would be mad to let you go. You have drive and determination, a real Alpha female.
    I'm sure that you won't be going down without a fight, take care xx

  • Well another day at work, just keeping head down and getting on with it.

    Have paid milkman today, he comes fortnightly to collect money but with the bank holidays hasn't been for 4 weeks so bill came to £16, postie brought me herbal essence shampoo/conditioner samples.

    After putting washing out this morning in the glorious sunshine it decided to have torrential rain this afternoon and its still sat on the line soaking wet, will send hubby out for it when he gets in from work.

    Right better make tea, we are on rubber chicken made into curry will serve with rice and naan bread.

  • Yep its stretching a chicken to make several meals and tonight the last of its being used for chicken and pasta bake, managed to make 2 bakes, so ones been flung into the freezer to use next week.

    Have withdrawn another £3 into paypal from mysurvey.

    Postie brought me some sainsburys vouchers 4 x £10 off £50 spend, think i may just end up going over the grocery budget this month, but if i stock up at least i will spend less next month.

    Things are still the same at work and starting to get annoyed that certain people i work with, but heyho i just keep plodding on and hopefully things will come right.

    I had no idea about "rubber chicken" either. I thought you had overcooked it! smiley_chicken.gif
    :rotfl:

    Big massive hugs for you pennywise - sorry you're feeling down. Just remember that everything will come out okay in the wash.
