SS, how much is the change?

£2.64 :rotfl: I might hold onto it and let it burn a hole in my pocket so I can buy something bigger when I get more vouchers.

:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j this is awesome news, I am so glad for him, and for you.

I'm sorry you're so disheartened by your employers, hopefully they realise what they're losing just after you have a far more awesome job somewhere else.

He's in reception and they go in the hall first before any other year, so its not too busy for them, but yep the ones that shovel it on get first pick lol, im really annoyed about it because looking on the menu, fruit is actually an extra, ie not a desert so they're just not making enough, but im paying for it so i expect him to get it, they get a fruit snack through the day too, yesterday menu said pork steaks and mash, with marble cake as the desert, no mention of fruit there.. and the kids that finish first seem to be the ones that used to have dinner in nursery so they're obviously more used to it than jake and the other 14 poor kids that dont get cake lol!! i heard a few other mums speaking about it this morning so hopefully they'll do something about it.

That sounds like a really unhealthy system as it's encouraging the children to stuff the food in as fast as they can.

Hubby has just called. His business has been in trouble for some time now - the current state of the economy has meant that contractors are holding onto payments for a little bit longer so he is having to spend a lot of time chasing late money (which he is not very good at TBH). Anyway, yesterday he sent an email to his biggest client saying that things were not good and he was thinking of winding the company up. They asked him to go in and see them at 8am today.

He has just come out and they have decided to set up a new division of their bigger company specialising in hubby's field and they were going to approach hubby to run it :j:j

It couldn't be better timing - if it all comes off it will be a bl00dy miracle but I would love to see him with the weight of the company lifted off his shoulders.

Also - he hasn't brought in a regular wage since we have been together - if he starts a job with a salary we will be rolling it it :rotfl::rotfl: I might have to give up MSE and go and find a forum called MoneyWasters R US or something :rotfl::rotfl:

:j I'm so happy for you that actually brought tears to my eyes.

Ok so Landen has decided tv is so much more entertaining that anything i could possibly do, or anything else he could possibly play with.... and the worst thing is, i've switched the bleeding thing off, yet still he's staring and periodically batting at the hanging toys that i shake in front of him, i think hes only doing that to appease me...

My mum is coming with me tomorrow to return it (as I forgot DH is still at work). I plan on counting the cash very slowly in their face, and im going to get all the bits to their door before i knock so they cant just take it in and then shut the door in my face....
We dont have paypal (debts and blah blah) and normally i dont mind dealing in cash, but obv when something goes wrong its a pain.

At least he seems to have accepted im bringing it back and he's giving me back my money, bet he's just gonna do it on a second chance offer anyway....

mfd- that sounds very promising

hope DH is successful...could you be a SAHM??

Susan - keeping everything crossed also

MFD - fab news, really hope that comes off for you.

JM - that is an apalling way of doing lunches! It's encouraging them to scoff their food or leave it so that they can get cake

That would probably be better. Why don't you cash in a few more SB/BP ones and then buy something nice? Will only take you a few weeks, Ms Speedy!

MFD, that's fantastic news - fingers crossed!! :j:j

*fingers crossed*

I love mooching about supermarkets too.

MFD, that's very exciting news. Would it help take some of the pressure off your decision regarding your employment status?

Jake, that really doesn't sound like a fair system. If the cake was on the lunch list, then cake should be available for everyone. It doesn't encourage kids to develop good eating habits either, if guzzling their food brings them 'rewards'.

Really hope it works out for you and your OH MFD, sounds brilliant.xx
