OH's arm is minging! I thought he was being dramatic when he said he had 3rd degree burns but he wasn't lying! It's from his shoulder to half way down his bicep, all blistered and gooey _pale_ He's not going into work for the rest of the week as I don't think a dirty warehouse is the best place for him to be, he was worried that he might not get paid if he calls in sick after being on holiday... somehow I think they'll understand if he sends them a photo! He isn't in too much pain thankfully, he's so used to being injured with one thing or another through rugby that he's got quite a high threshold for pain now! It'll very likely scar though, poor baby! I'm not sure if we should send a letter to Jet2 ourselves and see if they offer any compensation or if we should just go straight through a solicitor and leave it to them to do their thing?

Send a letter immediately, as in today / tomorrow informing Jet2 of the situation including pictures, if your not happy with the amount of compensation offered ring a solicitor and get a free consultation from one of them. Most will see you for free once they hear about it / see the pics. Get a LOT of pictures either way. Hubby could make you guys quite a few quid out of this.

I agree with Wendz, Lara. They shouldn't be able to do that! Was going to say the same as NIM, can't you report them? Get Watchdog on their tushes!

Your poor OH, Birdie! I'd take photos ect and get them sent somewhere, at least. It sounds horrible. I can't believe that bleddy woman didn't even say sorry, just tried to fix a cover up! Ugh! What's wrong with people?

Was late for work today, not that anyone here really cares. My Brother and his Girlfriend split up last night so I had him around for a coffee to see how he was. Turns out, not that bothered. Had a gas about it with my Nan over a cuppa in the office and we both think they'll get back together. It's a bit sad really.

What are everyone's November challenges then?! I'll only put one on here if we're keeping a list - Traveling 110miles for NoH8November which is a thing on Tuuum-blahr. And that's it! Racing against OH now to lose the most weight.

I did that once with NIM, it was impossible! He just seemed to shed the llbs while I had to fight for them.

Explain a bit more about your challenge please Cinny, I don't get it but it sounds interesting.

Once you break up once while you might rebound a few times back to them, there is usually a good reason you broke up that time, and they're unlikely to overcome it. Glad to hear he doesn't seem to distraught though. Sometimes it takes a while to have had enough, but sounds like your brother may be at that point.

Didn't answer your question Birdie, yes I'm off work now until the new tablets kick in (hopefully in a few days time), these ones so far make me feel like I have flu, really tired, thick headed and sick, but it does say on the pack that is likely to happen but should only last a few days.

Yes Birdie, I think you should get a solicitor on the case too.

Some bad news for us is that we can't rent out our house for the Olympics, as our borough require planning permission for lets under 90 days. Unlike neighbouring boroughs who require nada :mad: So we won't be able to earn loads of money

Okay November goals - they are all rolling over, and one more to add (the most important one though)

- Finish next chapter draft

Cinny, hope your bro is okay. Maybe it's for the best, his GF sounds awful.

You could "Rent out rooms" rather than the whole house? Short term logers if you like, get round it that way?

I actually thought 'Yay! Finally!' when you said your brother had split with his GF Cinny, maybe give him some tough love to make him see that they're much better off apart than together!

I've found a local solicitor who does no-win-no-fee so going to get OH to contact them to see what they say, had a quick Google and one website said that for noticible scarring on arms you can claim for upwards of £4,500, and you'll get more if that is due to a burn because of the pain involved. Must tell him to get a medical report from the doctor! I'm just so cross for him now, he has the worst luck!

Speaking of luck, that's so unlucky for you about not being able to rent out your house for the Olympics Lara! Does planning permission take a long time and money to get? (Clueless about it!) Why would you need PP, who cares who's living in the house as long as nothing about it is being altered?!

My November challenges are:
-Make 4 Christmas presents
-Make 4 Christmas cards
-Write 4 reviews
-Sell 4 items on Amazon
-Read 4 books
-Lose 4lbs

Men lose weight twice, in some cases three times quicker than ladies. I know he'll slaughter me, but he loves to win and if this motivates him to lose weight I'm all for it.

NoH8November is a group of girls trying to 'run the world' all 24901.55 miles of it in November. Just sign up, message how many miles you want to cover and get on with it.

Shame about not being able to let a room Lara, what a farce! Would the planning permission thingy far outweigh any money you could make? You could just have people come to stay and not tell anyone :cool2:

I dunno about them. They have a very weird relationship, not like mine and OH's weirdness, they're very cold with each other. They always fall out and just don't talk for day. Never properly argue and clear the air, just pave over it and pretend nothing's happened.

Thats no way for a relationship to function, things need to be sorted out. That kind of papering over the cracks is what leads to things falling down spectacularly.

He probably will relapse for a lil while but heres hoping that he doesn't.

sorry you're feeling poorly dinah, I hope the tablets kick in properly soon.

Your poor OH birdie!! I would go straight to the solicitors, give them what for!!

Yes unfortunately my mother is a member of the pyscho mum variety although I think I might have got through to her a bit yesterday, no text today although MIL has taken over the annoying role and has text me three times since last night, wondrering if I'm ok and is OH on the helicopter on his way home yet then what about the plane has it landed is he on it, can I let her know arrrrgggggghhhhh so infuriating she really has nothing else to worry about!!!

Cinny your brothers relationships sounds like a right farce, lets hope he's seen sense this time!

Can I join in the November goals? I have lots, like:

Have a baby and lose a stone (or 3!!!)
Make jam and chutney for christmas presents
Ebay all the stuff that is sitting around waiting to be done!
Sort out all the baby clothes
get my next assignment written before the baby comes!
Finish most of, if not all christmas shopping!

Need to add more! :eek:

-Make wedding gift and card for Brother
-Buy 24 things for OH's advent calendar
-Buy 4 Christmas presents

November could be a busy and expensive month! :eek:

I don't get relationships like your brother's Cinny, maybe it felt like it worked for them but once they started living together the whole 'not talking for a day' thing fell flat and made them realise that the dynamic isn't healthy! The only thing worse than that behaviour is when a couple argues on FB! Grow up and stop airing your dirty laundry online!
