    That's not bad at all MissP. What's this course with just one day a week?? Surely she could be aiming a bit higher with 5 A-C??

    I honestly don't know what she's thinking to be honest Maman. This day release course was meant to be part of the apprenticeship scheme....but they haven't found her a placement so she has nothing to do. Its all very frustrating. Basically now she's unemployed till January and, even then, its only a one day course. ARGH!! She's just not got herself sorted at all and I really want to shake her. :(

    DS1 has some form of results out today :eek: :eek: Not the full GCSE, but results from the modules (?) he's taken so far. He has to go up to the school for them, anyway..... Does that sound right, jo?

    What year is he in?

    Oh and jo, I remember your neighbour, isn't she the one with all the Next deliveries.......

    Indeedy :mad:

    She has since had a wet room fitted and then yesterday drove home to find a new disabled bay in front of the house.....that's fine.....but.................it's been put in the middle of the house, we are maisonettes (sp??), and she's directly in the middle rather than half a house for her, half a house for me...hence having the neighbours parking either side so I'm now up the road :mad:

    Petty? Whatever :mad:

    ETA: Can I add before I get flamed, this is the woman that lays her own patio slabs, decorates her house herself (including painting the ceiling) every few months and moves the furniture around every few weeks....oh did I mention dismantling her fireplace with a mallet thing and building a new one from scratch....BY HER E'FFFING SELF!!!

    Jo you have my sympathies. Neighbours can be a royal PITA.


    Bunny is a bunny no more. Found a dead bumble bee in his run so maybe that is what it was. May he frolic in bunny heaven where the fattest dandelion leaves grow!

    I had to tell DS over the phone as he is still with my mum. He was so upset. Hope he gets lots of Nanny cuddles tonight.

    Hi All

    Just popped in to say on day 2 (48 hours) AFD please Jo.

    Have finally got myself organised and will be getting a call from Payplan tomorrow night to change from fee paying DMP. ( I am so cross with myself as I feel have wasted so much money in the past year, but onwards and upwards)

    Anyway need to make sure spreadsheet is fully updated so will catch up tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is well and coping (((((HUGS)))))

    love
