    My parents have booked a few days on Arran - and have discovered that for £30 more the whole family can go - wooohoooo!!! we are going to have a holiday and it should cost me about £100 in total.

    Wellie and waterproofs we have.
    Food from Stores
    Camera and football

    There - we are done LOL

    It will be a great adventure for the little one - so heads down and start saving the pennies MG - this comes in addition to the MFinthree challenge not instead of.

    Sorry you are poorly Greenbee - have you thought of going for a short walk in the fresh air? I always find that despite feeling rubbish I will go for a little walk usually only as far as the postbox or to the corner shop, this gives my body the opportunity to absorb sunlight and spread germs to others. I might feel like sleeping for a week after the walk but invariably I start to feel a lot better a bit more quickly.

    Fabby news about the hols MG - you might need midge repellent as I know you have particularly nasty midges up there in Scotland.

    I think that I am going to have a veg out in front ot the telly for a while (feel as though I have had a day of wading through treacle and getting nothing done).

    I have the windows open Horace, but the idea of going further than the front door is a bit much right now. Up and down stairs several times today has been a bit much. However, it is a potential challenge for another day! At least I haven't been stuck in bed ALL day today!

    ETA - I have now eaten a spoonful of lemon sorbet and a small pot of orange jelly. I'm shattered... but i'm sure I'll feel better once my body has recovered from the shock!
  • Ooh, butterflies. My viewers say they have virtually sold their house and that they still like this one. I hope they make a decision quickly - apparently they are considering another house as well as mine. Que sera sera. Fingers crossed! They were here for half an hour and were using a measuring tape.

    I'm working tomorrow then off till next Wednesday. No housework to do, it has all been done today, so I'll be occupying myself over the weekend by transferring the paperwork I'm keeping from a two-drawer filing cabinet to a one-drawer. Friends seem quite keen to have the two-drawer, a favour returned as they gave me a freezer they didn't need a few years ago. So that's something else that will be out the door soon, and not going to the new house.

    Great news about the holiday MG, when's it booked for? Fun to go on a ferry, we did that with my girls when they were small and they thought it was brilliant.
    If you have a talent, use it in every which way possible. Don't hoard it. Don't dole it out like a miser. Spend it lavishly like a millionaire intent on going broke.

    Is anyone good with words on here? I think there just might be :D

    I have a rather chewy frog that needs munching by the middle of Saturday.

    I'm helping put a fundraising flyer together and the wording we have isn't quite right. Its a small rural project and we are oh so close, having raised eye watering amounts in 6 months, but just need that that final push to have the last few £'s in the bank so we can start building before the summer. Most of these by using the matrix principles I have to say, so thank you for all I have learnt here; our almost impossible many years old dream is going to happen.

    We have a copy of the architects 3D building view and want to put some catchy encouraging wording across the picture almost but not quite obscuring what we want to build. And that's where we get stuck - any ideas? On the "oh so close but lets make it happen" theme?

    Would love to chat by email or PM, share the flyer etc. Sorry I know it should go over the other side, but I'm still waiting to be reactivated there. Thank you.

    Its here

    i'm emailing my cv for another job vacancy, is it better to attach my covering letter as an additional attachment or just put it in the body of the email?

    Greenbee, sorry to hear you are feeling poorly. To all looking for jobs good luck. I am going to try and catch up with the thread but suspect that my chances of success are minimal - so probably would pick up from here, really.

    Well, we are back - anyone who comes back from skiing in one piece has had a very successful break in my opinion. We are all well, in one piece though it is slightly humiliating for MrF and myself to be on green and blue slopes whilst our ten year old DS is on the black runs on a snowboard. But such is life and we all want them to be better than us - in our family this is not hard where sports are concerned (I am keen but not very good).

    I have some wonderful news. Thank you all who were sending wishes to the Universe and prayers for DS1 - and the ones who replied to his post on my blog about being young and unemployed. He has a job; I mean a proper, career job with the Co-op financial services. He went through a very difficult and robust selection process - he took a test and scored over 70%; then two weeks course; then a day of tests, role play, interviews etc...This morning he got the call to offer him the job and is starting on March, 19th. We are very happy for him - he can finally start 'being' because there is something 'to do'.

    Waiting to hear the results from DS3 entry exam - he is getting a bit nervous.
