    Claire your poor OH. Is he in a sling stil or have they put a plaster cast on?

    Can I come shopping with you please? That#s some amazing bargains.

    I'm in teh process of re-arranging the hallway again. The shoe rack is now shoe free, I've put them into two big storage boxes that have gone in the wardrobe and in the process I#ve thrown away 5 pairs of shoes and have 3 to give to a charity shop. OMG, it sounds like I've got a shoe festish. The shoe rack is now going to be used as a book case type thing in the study. If that makes sense.

    I also need to wash up, clean the kitchen floor and sit down adn relax!

    He is still in a sling no plaster :(

    Was at Claires accessories at the right time :) they were just sorting the sale out as head office had just told them about it. All the items I had were already reduced to £5 so I still saved £38 on sale prices too :)

  • Beanie, I'm listening to you for half an hour whilst I watch Eastenders.

    Claire, will they put it in plaster at all?

    Tenmah, what options are available to your daughter?

    GRRR, one of my draw fronts has fallen off.

    Yeah was chuffed to bits, I'm now stocked up with face wipes for the next few months and got some cracking birthday pressies, I am tempted to look in the local Claire's to see if there's anything different tomorrow.

    We are not sure at the moment. They are starting to put the processes in place, and there will be a 30 day consultation period (which they have to have, even though it changes nothing).

    Her main concern is finding another job that is as flexible as this one. She can only work part time because of her condition and it needs to be a Monday, Wednesday and Friday to allow her time to recover in between, so finding a job for those days only is not going to be easy. In the meantime there is the job centre and benefits to contend with and they are a nightmare.

    yeah I think so

    Was holding out for the boots 75% sale but don't look like they are having one this year (bought most of my xmas and birthday presents last year in the 75% off sale) so am looking at alternatives :) without having to spend too much money. Think most birthdays are done now, and some xmas pressies so far got 18 pressies and have spent the grand total of £31.99 so am quite chuffed with myself :)

    Plus went into wilkinsons ans picked up xmas wrapping paper 25p a pack and gift tags so saved loads there too.
