I wish I wasn't so bobbins at negotiating rates - is this a woman thing or just a ridinkidonk Hurdler thing?
Anyway hopefully have turned a corner with mum in terms of accepting help. It is always a horrible thing to find yourself cutting their food for them ...- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

Al,
Great to catch up on your thread.
Good luck with the job. I'm enjoying my rather odd job being a teacher but not in school. There is definitely life after the classroom! x15/5/12 Paid off Mortgage 1 (£220k) Bought Dream House:www: Dec 13 - Mortage 2 -£116,508. 15/7/18 Mortgage Free Again :j

Hurdler I hear its a woman thing but not much of that in education. Good news about your Ma.
Hello Earthie. Glad your new post is going well.
I asked the Head for a reference like you do and he was so nice...but I have to remind myself about the unreasonable and life sapping behaviour of other adults I work with...
I have saved £45 not driving this week. Won Euromillions (£8).
Huge busy weekend ahead.0 -
