Hi everyone,
Czerniacha, I hope you are staying positive about job hunt- you KNOW the reason you havent found a job yet is that the perfect one is just waiting around the corner! I was thinking of you today as I looked at sauerkraut for 'sarma' and wondered if you make a similar dish?

Good to see the regulars posting and keeping this thread hilarious but at the same time so very supportive!

hugs

Thanks I'm still optimistic and I don't give up... It was a quiet week last week and I was feeling a bit down but luckily everytime it happens things start getting up again... this week is crazy lots of phone calls and 4 interviews incl. Saturday's ones so far Today's one was brilliant and one of the Saturday's ones is a good one too... I'm refusing to settle for anything less then planned as this is one of the main reasons why we moved here and I don't like for my plans not to work

And I googled the sarma things Yes, we do have something similar but it's too much work and not my favourite food... Do you use the sauerkraut for the filling? I much prefer dumplings with mushrooms&sauerkraut however I only make them for Christmas as it's too much work as well and not great dietwise too... :cool:

oh forgot to say guys don't forget to get your sacla sauces free with £1 coupon, one of the varieties is still reduced in T's but we don't like that one so i@ve been nipping in to Morrison's. Gosh the trouts in Morrisons are worse than T's. You need the courage of a bloomin ox to go in that place with coupons.

I still didn't get round to print them and try and I have mr M just across the road... But I must say I used two of the pizza vouchers there and with no problem at all even though I got one of the more posh pizzas

I've been to IKEA tonight with my vouchers! Got all the bits I wanted anyway so the 90GBP restaurant bits are officially free now! :j Sadly didn't pop into T as bf was with me :mad:

Bf just going to work as he's on call outs so there is a good chance he'll stay at home tomorrow AND that means the car will be MINE! :j I feel a good T trip coming up! :j:j:j

celebrate how'd you get the cash?

When I originally handed it in the lady said come back in 4 weeks

I went back in 4 weeks and they said oh no it's 6 weeks

I went back after 6 weeks and they said the cash office is locked
that's when i got upset, had the kids with me and really playing up, they made me wait a good 1.2 hour for a manager to go up to the cash office and then forgot to tell me he couldn't get in. Bearing in mind i probably spent a fiver on petrol-not my local- the CS staff were really nice and said when could I come in and they would get the cash down from the cash office and keep it in the till for me.:T

After my second trip (the 4 weeks one) I rang HO to check what the HO policy was -they said they give it away to a charity of there own choosing and no I couldn't keep it. Obviously I didn't share this information with the ladies on the Cs desk who unfortunately know me quite well now in a nice way though, think they were just shocked that I'd handed it in in the first place and weren't bothered about letting me have it

i was surprised none of them had a ahem family member claim it lol!

caz good to have you back out of the shadows lovely to hear about your baby, do you ring their dad whenever something exciting happens? I remember when my OH left me and my DD1 was admitted to hospital with a dental abcess, well he asked for his dad so I rang him his reply was "well what do you need me to come down for?" Unfortunately I am still with him:(

I hate to admit it for fear of abuse but no, I don't tell the father. He rarely asks how his children are during the week, when he picks them up he rarely asks how they've been unless prompted, he cares so little about their health that he let DS1 outside with no coat whilst loaded with the cold last week and DS1 has come home the last 2 weeks in a row with nasty cuts on his face. I know kids have accidents but twice in 2 weeks and both on the face?? I actually texted their father today to let him know the ceiling is still leaking water through the light fitting when it's raining and that causes the electric to trip (fire hazard much?). Needless to say he hasn't gotten back to me after I asked what exactly taking the ceiling down would entail and could he not get someone out with a bendy camera to have a look e.g. dyno rod.

So back on topic, I managed to get a couple of 4p items at the weekend. An Ireland rugby scarf that I'd be better of burning given their poor performance and a pair of mens AW10 jeans but they're too small on me (they were perfect for DIY) so will see if the brother wants them and if not, they'll go to charity. Better off in the charity shop than Ts repricing them. Managed to get some glitched Kiplings for the folks but the local store has been rearranged so I need to have a reccy before I feel safe glitching there again.

How fab!!:T:T:T:T Hope you got those glitch suitcases a while back and I seem to remember theirs still some glitching suncream in T's;)

Lol, it was me that posted about both those. Tbh though, i doubt we will go as 3 lil ones that we wouldnt leave with any one to go away. They are only little once. Hopefully the company will allow the spend to be converted to vouchers for any hol where we can all go.

Last off topic post - thanks hon. The hardest bit is realising how little he cares about anyone but himself. He's not the person I thought I married. Say what you want to me, intimidate me, scare me, hate me but not your kids. I am blessed with the 2 best boys I could ever have wished for and feel nothing but pity for the ex and his family for the end result of what they have put me through.

So I am slowly building up a list for the weekend. With the kids being ill (again) I'm trying not to go out unless necessary so Saturday will be my first chance when they're with their father. Hopefully by then some more 4p items will make an appearance and maybe a wee DTD to make my day (especially if it's vino but shhhhhhh, don't be telling everyone )!
