    Good afternoon,

    Mrs Moo is your meeting anywhere near me this time? If so I can have moo for you. We have the proms here on Sat, will beable to listen to it from the back garden :)
    Claire you are a star. No the meeting is in London (hoping to get to the proms after the meeting if possible.
    Been shopping with mum, came home with a cooked chicken 2 for £7 mum wanted one so she gave me the other, so tea sorted, some more golden syrup and chocolate, been asked for more flapjacks, mum wants some as well :) might double the quantity this time lol and use a bigger tray.

    Not quite a nsd today though as I managed to scrape £3 together to get ds2 new pens pencil case etc for school.

    You are doing really well Claire, remember you have more than enough for your needs ;)
    I am down your way at the end of September so if my time allows we might be able to meet for a coffee. Only problem is it would have to be after work (teatime ish) I will be in the Bay.

    Evening all

    Sorry not around much - I didnt switch my computer on at all yesterday. Yesterday was a mulling day - to mull about my low self esteem and why I suffer from it, I know exactly where it stems from and I have realised that at the ripe old age of 49 and a bit that I am not responsible for what happened in the past but I am responsible for me and what happens in the future.

    Today, I was told that my CV was rubbish and that I had been out of PA/secretarial work for too long and that I wouldnt get any work. I decided on the bus home that I didn't actually care and formulated more plans for my business to make it more profitable. Plans have been made already and deals negotiated..I am getting my mojo back even though I still have depression.

    Tomorrow is a day for plans and for shopping - need some staples (bread cheese ham etc) and petrol.

    Thursday night, I might just go out to Kings Heath as I have heard that there is a food foraging party meeting at 6.30pm so I might just tag along, I may get some free fruit:D

    Today, I was told that my CV was rubbish and that I had been out of PA/secretarial work for too long and that I wouldnt get any work. :eek: I'm assuming that whoever said that is 1. A sad loser 2. Not into any kind of Personal Development 3. A sad loser 4. Not a manager in any way shape or for 5. A sad loser 6 Definitely NOT A MEMBER OF THE MATRIX!!!! What a pants thing to say to anybody. BTW excellent CV help on here - magical in fact :D I decided on the bus home that I didn't actually care and formulated more plans for my business to make it more profitable.

    I wish I knew why I am so shy, so lacking in confidence and with low self esteem. My Mum was very much an extrovert and my dad, brother and sisters are all confident people, able to start conversations and be sociable. I was always shy and turned red easily but was told I would probably grow out of it, yet I seem to have got worse as I have got older. I had a great childhood so there is no reason for it there, and although I have had many a knock back romantically, there was nothing dramatically bad.

    Sorry, just musing out loud really.....

    Just edited... Checked the route and sadly I'm not on the way. Which is a pity, as the dog hair will need topping up again by then...

    Moo on tour, that would be good as long as nobody says "you could put a saddle on him"

    Dog hairs come free. Oh and the slobber. Not to mention his latest party trick which is to walk up to me and plant a big smacker on my cheek. He is sooooooo cute.
