    Hopefully, she's doing just that.

    I *am* grand, Pippi, paid work finished for the day, just been out for a walk to blow those cobwebs away :) going to have a cuppa tea and do some paperwork now.

    That definitely qualifies as skint, Pippi, sorry to hear it. I wonder if bingo still provides anything like the money it used to? It seriously did provide something like £50 a month at one stage, plus the odd win of £150 or so, just to flick over to another tab and muck about with it... I know you can find a way round this, but it must be troubling

    Lots of hugs, hope the internet banking isn't too horrible.

    ((((((pippi)))))))))) still no news about the job?? How bloody ridiculous! Pah. What on earth are they waiting for?? Can you ring them? It sounds rather like it might be they're all imagining someone else has told you and that you already know.... :p

    :T :T for a bit more gardening work xxx

    Glad you rested up last night :T & really sorry that you haven't heard about the job yet :(

    Being so skint you squeak must be a but of a worry but I am sure that the gardening jobs you keep picking up will keep you ticking over until you get the job and get paid.

    Rodders has decided that he quite likes being out in the garden in the rain :j but has now discovered mud :( Luckily he doesn't mind having his paws cleaned and loves being given a rub down with the towel!

  • Hey chaps, rent saved, so we will live and we've lots food. I'm just whining. It will eventually get better.

    I need bill the college for my hours done teaching (6, harly tonnes!) and the other 'not my job bit' which I think I can self-employed invoice for - 10 or so hours.

    Gardening I've a couple hours to sort and bill for. New one off job looking at today and a day paid on a little island here Shen we get a weather window.

    We'll be fine but I'd like it to be better. I'll do more eBay and look at those things kc,ta.

    Maty how cute rodders is!

    Cheery I've no idea what's going on. I can ring one of the board.

    Today.

    Um, eBay - write up diary hours and time sheets get them in for mid nov pay.
    Hokey cokey
    Bit baking
    Eggs to sort (£2)
    Blog to do

    All be fine eventually. :)

    Gardening quiet now and even house plants not selling.
    Will work on productive stuff.
