    Hello Nicola :wave:How are you? Keeping well I hope!

    Stop making me blush, I am no inspiration I can assure you. But I have struck it lucky with the fantastic folk who hang out around my diary. I must admit it's the encouragement you all give me that keeps me going.

    Pr*t's not so bad, most importantly, for me, I'm doing an honest day's work. It's not enough money but I feel better for earning my jsa. Mad, I know, there are many people who will just take the money as it's their entitlement. I need to do something, otherwise I will lose the plot and forget how to work. It's difficult to explain, but the longer my unemployment goes on, the nearer I move towards a dark place. Working has slowed down the descent.

    Speaking of which....tomorrow I get to sign on again, another form to fill in as I'm working. Then off to Pr*t for a six hour shift.

    I've dropped the blog temporarily, it's all a bit much at the moment, pathetic, I know. I will pick it up again when life picks up I promise.

    I spent a lovely few hours in the sunshine with the Captain this afernoon, he was lying down in his field so I laid down with him, we watched the birds and enjoyed each others company, it was perfect just breathing in the smell of sunshine warmed horse...
    Sounds idyllic (last paragraph that is). Be proud of yourself for not just taking what's rightfully yours! I understand your feelings regarding working at anything rather than sitting back with open hands, you are one of the very few I can assure you but I guess you know that. So glad I don't have to write to in in jail given your experiences with the security at the JS. I had to laugh at that. You sound a great cook/baker - why can't you sell your stuff at the restaurant where you work (or is that just not done). Could bring in a few bob!
    Thinking of you.

    LOL LOL LOL Noonar :rotfl: what funny things you do in your spare time. What I find hilarious that the 3 reviewers shown all used in the region that they shouldnt, 2 of 3 gave the product 5 stars despite the pain and the subsequent lack of 'performance'! lol I am not quite sure which part of "Suitable for the back, chest, arms, legs and underarms only." they thought might include their K & B lol :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    If anybody wants a good laugh, try going into amazon and looking for VEET hair removal cream for men and read the reviews, not for the faint hearted - hopefully this link will work. I got kicked out of the living room yesterday evening making too much noise laughing :Dhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000KKNQBK/ref=tsm_1_fb_lk


    Have a good (hot) day everyone!

    Noo

    Morning lovely ladies - If anybody wants a good laugh, try going into amazon and looking for VEET hair removal cream for men and read the reviews, not for the faint hearted - hopefully this link will work.

    Noo

    Oh my dear, I am now laughing so much I've nearly coughed myself to death - this is the one that got me:

    3 stars and entitled LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

    "Probably the first thing you will notice after using this product is the pain. Although as a man I lack the required experience, I'm going to estimate that using this product is at least eleven times more painful than childbirth.
    Imagine sticking a rusty razor blade into your favourite eye, before tying your hands behind your back. Then imagine that you use the entrenched razor blade to slice open a raw onion. All the while being butt naked. This product is slightly more painful than that.

    However if we ignore the blinding, crippling and debilitating pain I should point out that this product is remarkably effective. Before, all manner of organisms great and small lived down there, now nothing can grow; not even on a cellular level. Sadly this includes my genitalia; I've spent the last four hours staring fixedly at Carol Vorderman's ^rse all to no avail. My tinkywinkleton hasn't even so much as perked up, so if my review seems a bit harsh, it's only because I wanted children."

    's ok, Mr B doesn't loiter here, but Hamster does, from time to time. I didn't know men wanted their man-bits bald. I must be moving in the wrong circles....

    still laughing....
