    He's been doing that Chev, he's taught himself (with a bit of help) spreadsheets, he has just about every technical qualification for what he does going so I've taught him a bit of process management. My job isn't brilliant but its perm. Being temp has totally stuffed up my tax, so waiting for that to be sorted.

    I am feeling a little better (thank you for asking Lucielle), OH made me put my feet up last night and made my dinner and my packed lunch for today. He felt bad he hadn't done the same tonight but tea was nearly ready it just had to be dished up.

    As for presents, just want to make the most of my pennies now they need to go further. I'm driving more often than getting the bus due to the way I'm feeling. So that costs more, and with spending a few days in hospital last December I'd rather it was all organised well in advance.

    How is everyone? Not had a chance to go round the diaries. OH moved our tomato plant outside as its flowering but not fruiting. Silly question does it need to be outside to do this?

    Sorry to hear things at the job weren't going well. Any improvement yet? Any news from any other jobs yet?

    Thanks guys, I have to make the best of the job now and they've actually been ok about it. SS off work 'ill', OH called his bluff tonight and said he's going back to his old ways so he has to go. His 'illness' seems to come and go to suit him. So he thinks its time we thought about us. Whether he does go through with getting SS to go I don't know, for quite a while there was a dramatic change in him, he's now reverted though as is back doing all the same old tricks.

    Anyone else noticing winter creeping in? I can't believe how cold it's getting.
