  • Oh, Em that is really good :) I wouldn't be surprised if she would be happier somewhere smaller too. My granny felt so much safer when she moved because then she had central heating and no stairs. We thought she would be devastated leaving the house that was home for probably 60 years, but no, she was glad to be away. I'm sure she did miss it and the memories, but that was less important than feeling safe iyswim :)

    Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeell,

    He was going out after work for drinks with people from work as someone is leaving. I said fine, but could he be back by 9 at the latest as I really don't feel well, I've had thumping headache all day and just feel achey, doesn't help Keira is ill too and all I want to do is lie down.

    I get a text from him saying he's staying out until he feels like and that I'm a b1tch who spends all his money and a wh0re?, and that he is going to a strip club to see nice looking girls.

    So I just ordered in an expensive takeaway I won't even eat just to make a F U to him, and I hope his knob falls off.

    I wish he would just leave and stop hurting my head

    At least the chinese are bringing me cigs, I had ran out :rotfl:

    Evening Everyone

    Hugs all round

    Happy Birthday MOTM Twins.

    Had really rubbish day at work, they're trying to make out I've over taken my leave, I've been there 14 months so I'm in my 2nd year of leave - they want to drop a days pay a week until I'm sorted.

    However, when I asked when the leave year runs my boss wouldn't answer, just worked out my entitlement based on how long I've been there!

    I wouldn't mind but there leave on there that I either didn't take or have worked to make the hours up instead - AT THEIR REQUEST.

    What really got me cross was when he said there is no record of the extra I'd work, I clock in and out 4x a day via a computerised system for pete's sake.

    It's a quiet time of year in the motor repair business so I think they're trying to save some money.

    He even hinted that I should cancel next weekend by asking if I was going away and where to, implying I should leave after work and come home before work - not an option when it's South Wales.

    I know I'm right so I will be there on the 29th, wild horses won't keep me away :)

    Thanks :) I may just do that. I think my headache is caffeine related, I'd drank my body weight in diet coke the past 2/3days but I've swapped to water and I just feel rough now!

    I hope you get the job SM x I'm struggling to find one I can do because I have a serious lack of childcare options.

    Keira is excited about her prawn crackers curry sauce and egg fried rice coming, she's going to scoop it up and stuff her face she says. Ah well it's worth it if she's going to eat, when she is ill she won't touch much. She has a had massive 2 spoons of a munch bunch yoghurt today.
  • Bastage camp have removed my post from their FB page...but not my discussion yet :rotfl::rotfl:

    Can someone else post the following on there please:

    A shocking story with an even more shocking response in the comments. In brief: family pays £1200 for a holiday designed around the needs of their autistic son, but are asked to leave after two of the camp volunteers witness a third volunteer attempting to "heal" the boy and he gets upset. The camp organiser replies in the comments claiming that the incident never happened and implying all sorts of dark misdeeds – and refusing to give the money back.

    Full story here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/topic.php?uid=134560079921817&topic=116




    Actually - it let me post it again!!!

    Still the info is there for when someone else needs to post it :D

  • It's a handy rate for someone her age, with minimum wage being much lower at that early in her working life. Do you ask for her to contribute in any way? Good for her to getting her first step on the ladder.

    Yes its a great rate her last job waitressing at a very expensive hotel had her working all hrs day and night for £3.47 - dont think they had ever heard of the Working Time Directive! Anyhow I am not taking any board from her whilst she is part time as long as she saves some - each month she is saving £200 towards her car and I still recieve maintenance for her from her dad until shes 19 so I dont mind.

    [QUOTE=gill_81uk;36092113Pink Princess - I thought it was you in your profile pic too :o I can see now that she is just a young girl and not someone in their early 20s! :rotfl::rotfl: (and def not someone old enough to have a16 year old lol)

    Thank you I'm flattered:rotfl:

    Oh BM Whats he done:mad:

    DD1 gave me and my mum our christmas pressies today! she has bought us platinum tickets for the clothes show in December and has booked us all into a hotel in Birmingham for the night! I was so overwelmed that she had thought to book it all her self out of her first wage as a thank you for what we do for her:A I was in tears! so to all those who have kids with attitudes or teens with problems there is an end to it!!
    She has given us it now so I can book time off work and in her words ' save up for anything you might like to buy' how sweet
