  • Love the diary CB, keep up the entertaining diary.

    Great news about the extra work coming your way. It is funny how one thing can lead to another. Word of mouth and a good reputation for a hard worker spreads and people will always want to give work to people that deserve it.

    I know what you mean about helping people. I would love to have more time on my hands to do some volunteer work to help people, unfortunately debts mean I need to work as much as possible and that leaves little time for family, dogs, housework etc. One day I hope to think I will be able to help.

    I used to have chickens, my boss girlie would have eaten Ohno for breakfast :o
    Just keep swimming!
  • Sorry not to have been on here the last week or so , have been too :o:o embarassed, angry:mad::mad: disillusioned to post what a right twerp Ive been, :mad:and how Ive been taken for an idiot , there was me helping Mal the Moaner trying to sort out his debts and all the time he was courting the local widow lady, suffice to say him, his suitcase full of debt letters and a badly scratched arm from OhNo sent him packing down the road, jeez youd think I would have learnt by now...so now its me and the cat in our nice cottage all by ourselves and you know what thats how its gonna stay....

    Its nice to be able too mooch around in my old dressing gown looking like a well wrapped up bag lady, dont have to try and glam meself up for no twit of a man....still he did fill my car up to the top with petrol as we were going somewhere and that will keep me going past Christmas with the small mileage I do and I took his washing round to the widder lady and chucked it on her lawn...so bleedin fed up of myself, think it was a rebound thing what with someone showing me a bit off affection and muggins here fell for it. am glad I didnt let him stop the night etc so my reputations intact for what thats worth and my self esteem is rock bottom but Janey will be back to full power after a self indulgent weekend :rotfl::rotfl:.

    OhNo my brave putty cat gave his arm a right swipe with his claws , titter larf, :rotfl:hed better watch out cause OhNo wont be kind if he appears again :D:D.

    Said !!!!!cat is still stalking the hens next door but keeps well out of there garden just sits staring at them through there wired run and MAHOOSIVE the cockral has got him on the run .

    I am the lucky recipient of some of the eggs, so have baking and filling the freezer, now need to get my brain in gear and take a real close look at my budget and finances I lost the way whilst Mr Moaner was bedazzling me with them lying eyes wished I had gave him a clout on the hooter would have made me feel better:rotfl::rotfl::D but he did paint my bedroom wall so he had his uses I suppose.

    So now I have confessed my tale of woe, I will get back on track, me and the putty cat have lots of adventures to live yet, just got to decide whats going to happen next, work, and more work, the garden and planning our next holiday, OhNo to local deluxe cattery and me the seaside for 2012 methinks...

    Night all, am going to mooch round the boards and gather some more info in this debt busting, frugal living lifestyle.

    Warmest thoughts

    Janey and OhNo xx:p

    Aw Janey "twerp" made me snort with giggles hehe.
    Sorry to here about bad man Mal and the widow, I can vividly see you hurling his washing though. It's also the first time I read one of your posts in an Irish accent, albeit a slightly angry one. Glad OhNo got him good though =)
    On the brightside, less paperwork :rotfl:
    Take care =)

  • Too right Beanie, and less washing up as well and like you said Kerry no paperwork, jeez I do pick them, so now my life is a man free zone except my male putty cat anything resembling a male is gonna be eyed with suspicion for a wee while, well longer than a wee while probably forever unless they have some skill that is useful..

    Ok am gonna scarper to my bed, and snuggle down under the duvet with my hot water bottle and book, have an early day/start, first the factory then the pub to clean and then a flick of my duster round new cleaning job, love this new job I just flick a duster, look after baby for a couple of hours and do some ironing, this saves me bieng at home using my leccie and heating:D and sometimes have a sarnie too...


    Right going to chuck OhNo out for his nightly yowl from the rooftops and go get into my flanelette jamas night all.

    J and a protesting OhNo who likes the front of the range too much

  • Thanks, OhNo likes a pet, is rolling over purring, when I think of it his bad behaviour started when Moaner Man appeared on the scene, he has now reverted to a silly playful putty cat again, Iwill use him to sort out the twits if Im ever daft enought to taken in by a pair of choclatey brown eyes and a sob story...yep despite all thats happened to me I still have my belief in humans, life and the future..

    Night J
