    Marvellous news on the interview. And good that there's a possible explanation on why you've been feeling so down. (Apart of course that it's a miracle that you've been so up considering all the stuff that has been thrown at you recently).

    Oh and Hi P. Not sure if I've spoken on your thread before but I've been following and rooting for you.

    So pleased to hear about you getting an interview and I can believe the stories from yesterday as husbandpet works in a 2nd hand retail shop and the stories he tells me I can't believe, until I was there to witness one firsthand in which the police were called as well.

    Oh and I was right to be suspicious of him being so good turns out he was trying to poison me by contaminating the potato hash with fairy liquid and yes it does bubble up when heating it in a microwave :eek:. The trouble is that not only did he do it to one batch he did it to the brand new batch he cooked up on Sunday night so bye bye money :mad:, at least it was mostly woopsied stuff but still.

    Still waiting on your address missy and I won't take no for an answer. If I don't have it by the end of the week I'll begin the hunt for you :cool:.

    Love
    Alioops xx

  • What good news about the interview. You sound so much brighter today. I'm looking forward to more of the animal tails (oops tales) which you write so brilliantly.

    I have an interview :j It's come through from the agency that contacted me last week. The interview is probably next Thursday, just waiting for date confirmation.

    I have drafted my 'willing to do anything from gardening to shopping' card for the Post Office. Will drop it in later on my way to the stables.

    This is BRILLIANT!!:beer: Thats great. Best of luck and DONT BE NERVOUS;)

    Also good to know there is something you can do abut the thyroxine. Hopefully an increased dose will make you feel more chirpy

    Ooh..I feel very thrilled now. Your news has really made my day:j:D
