Work is fabulous Butti-I really landed on my feet there. I am working with a lovely Austrian woman, she is so kind and gentle and am getting one-2-one training with her. We work in a gorgeous Grade II listed building, upstairs and its great. I look forward to going to work.
Life otherwise is 'challenging'. I thought I had secured the perfect house to let-only 2 miles from current house, 3 bedrooms, good area-then my CCJ caused it all to go t!ts up, depspite me offering a larger deposit than necessary and 6 months rent up front and XOH as guarantor. I cried (again) for about 2 hours non-stop...I really am at the end of my tether. Any suggestions greatly received.
DD has impetigo at the minute and can't go to school so at home with her.
On a happier note-I have lost nearly a stone from stress! (Don't get too excited, this only means I am down from the biggest I have ever been)

Unfortunately she is declining rapidly Bun, so sad to see her slip further towards not knowing who we are by the week.

Someone posted a message on 21 June about how it was the longest day and now we head towards Christmas. I was tempted to post FO back!
I was quite pleased it rained as I was due to go on a 20 mile bike ride 'unless it was !!!!ing it down'. I think they still went and it was raining lightly, but half an hour later it really was !!!!ing it down!:D
Off to York tomorrow for a site meeting, then a trustee meeting, then a meeting with daddy to ask for a top up. How bloody humiliating!
I don't know what to suggest Bunny. Although you have a CCJ you must by now have some years of redemption. Maybe go and talk to an agent and see what they suggest as a way round. I would have thought a gaurantaur would have swung it.
My lodger told me he had some bad news for me yesterday. My heart was in my mouth, but it turns out he does have a sick sense of humour as the bad news was that he will be here till November!
