    Hello everyone, Happy anni Mrs & Mr Beth,ade take deep breaths before you start and BB you have some lovely looking chucks, I wish I could have chucks it is one of my dreams but my garden is all gravel and not chuck friendly.

    Not done much today but dont seem to have had a lot of time to myself, went shopping yesterday for food and spent far too much, but at least it makes my cupboards look better, made a casserole and crumble yesterday so Im having leftovers tonight. Supposed to have lookded at all my waiting paperwork but cant bring myself to, burying my head in the sand, doenst matter how much os you do the bills never go down and my pay never goes up.

    Big hugs to all who want them

    thank you so much guys.

    Sorry there are so many of you who are also going through though times, and i've not taken the time to list you all individually, but my hugs are there for all who need them, i do read everyone's posts.

    OH is cooking me dinner, 2nd night on the trot! Not sure what is wrong with him, shame my apetite is not up to much.

    Plans for tonight are to do some more washing, pack a bag for scotland and get a lunch ready to take to london tomorrow with me, (my friend is skint, i'm more frugal so we both agreed pack luches instead of pub lunch)

    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

  • I thought I would post some good news. As most of you know, thr Oh started a new job in August. It turned out that his first project was the first one his employers had done for the new client. It was a very expensive high end job, and any future contracts were dependinh on it going well. It did, and they all seemed very happy. Today he has found out that his company has secured another project for the same company, with an even bigger budget, and one of the conditions of them winning the bid, was that the client insisted my lovely husband lead the job! I am so proud of him! :j
