So poor I can't even pay attention

Ermmm, hello there ????

I've been following your diary since the start back in February but have always been a day or two behind and never quite managed to 'jump in' at the right time - takes me right back to how I felt about escalators when I was 4 or 5 years old (a long, long time ago!).

You have made me laugh out loud and cry (metaphorically) in frustration for you at times. I am so proud of what you have and are achieving and I am nearly ready to start my own diary after seeing how all yours are spurring me on (....that escalator thing again.....).

Another animal love here, although I only have cats at the moment - Ethel had kittens eight weeks ago and we have re-homed two of the three, with our new addition, Smudge remaining. Bruce is almost one, but has a factor 11 clotting disorder (like haemophillia but milder) which means he is not very MSE but we would never be without him.

Sorry, boring myself now so will stop there....

So what is about animals and rolling in poo ..........our big cat did the same this week. I put him out until I decided what to do with him and he came back 2 hours later clean and smell free.......................!

Now my experience with M&S bras are the opposite from others here.......hit and miss I'm afraid and I dont have an unusual size to fit unlike my DDs who have impossibly small ribcages and ridiculously large cup size - all natural and not inherited from me I might add:rotfl:
they have found M&S styles often difficult to fit too - they want something pretty and 'young' with plenty of support! They like Br*viss*mo fitting technique the best but bloomin expensive in there:eek:. For those of you who like the makes Br*viss*mo sell then try these 2 on line - Brastop and leialingerie

Fingers crossed and all that with jobs Piq:D

It was hard work, not unexpected but good fun. I can have whatever I want for breakfast and lunch, unlimited bottled water, fizzy drinks and coffee. You get a clean shirt every day, no having to wash the uniform! Now that can't be bad!

This would excite me the most I think! :rotfl: Unlimited coffee and free food?

I've definitely got a 16 hours a week contract, the manager says she loves me - ahh... I'll earn more than the £71 jsa, which will be helpful. I believe I'll still get my NI stamp paid for and the signing on will pay my mortgage insurance until I earn a full time salary.

Great news on the 16 hours, and by the sounds of it, it could be more in the long run, if the manager likes you that much already! :j

When I got home there was a voice mail about the job I was turned down for, the one I was too experienced for. It turns out they've decided they do want the extra experience and want me to go in for an interview!!!!!! This is initally a contract job for six months but will probably be a rolling contract for at least a year! This is not the contract job I was talking about yesterday either, I'm waiting for feedback for that one.

Woohoo on this news too! :j :j

Morning P and Friends

Sorry not been here for a few days but looks like things have def improved a bit. Good luck on the job applications. Nice one that you get free coffee and food

I think cats are just trying to prove to dogs that they too can roll in smelly stuff or maybe he is sending the fox a message 'I aint scared of you Mr Fox - look I will even roll in your poo!'

Hope Captain is well. I had a small accident over the weekend involving another horse and a gate whilst trying to bring mine in and now I am hobbling with a fat ankle and bruising from my calf to my toes

Enjoy the rest of the week xx

Howdy! How's things? It's good to know you're still around!Will update you all in a moment.....

Hello just popping in and out when I can , now as you ladies are talking about Bras I'll just go and pop the kettle on and come back later.

..... Not just any bras........M&S bras.........:D

I too have special needs in the bra dept - fortunately not for any health reasons, just large :rotfl:. Fortunately I have a special needs factory shop within travelling distance of me .

M&S bras don't fit me even although allegedly they do my size.

Another very busy and slightly surreal day.

I met dad for coffee in Pr*t, he was thrilled to get free coffee as he is staff dad! Decided that whilst I was in town I'd pop into the job centre and 'fess up about the Pr*t job. Turns out I can't work 16 hours, I'll be signed off :eek: however, I can work 15 hours and 59 minutes. I need to go back and have a word with the manager as I'm supposed to be working the remainder of the 16 hours over the weekend. The meeter and greeter seemed a little surprised that I would give up the £71 to earn it myself. I cannot be the only person in the country that wants to work!

Went for a lovely hack in the sunshine with the Captain and a couple of friends, very enjoyable.

....and.......

I have an interview on Tuesday :T Off to London for an eleven o'clock interview. This is the job I was too experienced for, then they changed their minds, I won't hold it against them

When I got home there was a box of herb plants waiting for me, rosemary, sage, thyme, lavender and mint. A note from the kn*b said the herbs were a thank you for all my work at the weekend and he hoped that I would reconsider his offer of a job. I have decided to keep the herbs, they will fill the gaps in my herb garden nicely. However, they're not as wonderful as the geraniums that one of you wonderful folk sent me. The geraniums are in shades of pink and orange and look amazing in my dark blue ceramic pots by the herb garden. In the middle of the herb garden is a wrought iron chair with a cream cushion and a huge tabby cat....

I haven't done my finances today, they will wait until tomorrow, as will the reading up about the interview.

My eb*y item sold for £40 and I have a total of 21 watchers on the other two items I listed. I have a few more like items to list if these sell.

Right now to answer all of you, my friends
