    Thanks everyone. it is very much appreciated. Nora i know you're right. I will turn this into a positive but I'm still bursting into tears at the slightest thing.


    My phone? I'm with the non-apple fruit company. I ended up in Carphone warehouse today to pick up a pay as you go sim so I can at least make/receive calls. I wasn't offered this and to be without a phone at the moment is a nightmare when waiting for calls about jobs.

    OH took me for a meal, didn't eat it all but ate most and its the first thing I have not picked at. Visited my Gran today (took her flowers for Mother's day), she had roasted a chicken and gave me a chunk to nibble on (she knows me so well), whilst OH finished painting her hall for her.

    Chilling out now, have tomorrow off.

    Awww, sweetie - that's because you're slap bang in the middle of it all right now. No reason at all that you can't take some time to be upset, and wallow - just remember to ensure you get some tlc going on as well... *big hugs*

    Thanks Nora.

    Was over at SIL. She and her OH tore strips off SS about the way he's behaving with us as when he stayed with them for work experience he was very well behaved, tidy etc. He flew off the handle, OH took the bait and exploded at him. SS didn't like it. So new rule, no eating at all upstairs, he's peeved and i really don't care. SIL and her OH told him he's being a brat.

    Anyway, I'm back to work tomorrow. Have spent a few hours trawling the job sites and applying for stuff. Being without my phone is a pain. Having to check my voicemail in case anyone has called.

    How is everyone?

    Eating slightly better today (well eating at least, a pot noodle and a cereal is not healthy but its better than NO food like what I have been doing!). Back at work today. No word re the internal jobs. Had call back from one agency regarding a job, the money is dire though. Also got info about going contract which I think may be a real option for me. Have meeting with another agency later in the week.

    Applied for a few more jobs today and had 3 call backs! Bit of an odd feeling being upset in one sense and feeling positive in another.... its bizarre.

    Still mising my mobile, will be very glad to get my own number back.

    Hi uni, sorry i've been MIA, just had a mini minor meltdown in my world but trying to find my Pollyanna spirt.
    fingers crossed one of the jobs comes to fruition.

    don't appologise Uni, you're worries are more important than mine and need your immediate attention.
