    Nope. I tell him my loss and he just shrugs with a 'right'.

    She's in year 9 - will go back to year 10.

    Every single teacher says how quiet and focused she is....I wonder what their secret it - she's off in la-la land when she's at home! :D

    Gemz-I wont bother complaining-I just will not go back again. Part of the issue wasn't really their fault (ie. had to leave and take meals with us as service was slow-but it WAS rammed and we were short on time) but the food is really just gross.

    I've been to Frankie and Benny's several times and never had a problem. It must depend what one you go to.

    OH just popped in for 30 seconds and tried - and failed - to put me down about not getting the job and what hs subsequently happened.

    Apparently I am the 'unemployable one' and 'obviously wasn't going to get the job as soon as he started to think about me in a different role'

    My answers were 'No I'm not unemployable' (he said 'well they didn't give you the job, did they) and 'so what, the stuff he said to me really made me feel good about myself' all with a big grin on my face. :D

    I think the next meal that you cook for him should contain dog !!!!!!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
