    Goodluck on the job hunting have you tried looking at home care company's they are always looking for carers for day time work that way you might get to spend the evenings together at least and it's not much different to being a care assistant;)

    Thanks i'm going to need to need it!
    I'm phoning up another company today which provides home care, hopefully something will come up soon. I appllied for other home jobs but they all said i needed a driving licence:(. No matter that elusive piece of paper will be mine, watch out cars here i come lol

    ((hugs to you )) hope everything works out today ((hugs))

    Today's is going to be a spend day, going to get some new wipers for the car and maybe some others buts. The MOT/tax is due in July so getting little bits done now to save us money for any big jobs.

    Will finish the drains, yesterdays list and try and do todays when i get back. xx

    I am hoping to sneak the day off today so I can catch up with the garden and the rest of the mess. Our bedroom is so grim I just dont want to go in there :(.

    None of us watch football yet DS2 has announced he wants to watch the match. Which match says I? I don't know he says, the one that I can leave school early to watch :p. Apparently we are allowed to pick them up early if we want to, and I am not mean enough to leave them when others are going home.

    Hope everyone has a lovely day :).
