    That's a deal then :) it's on my 101 list to see :)

    Am a tad annoyed, walked into work tonight to find out I have to stay on in the morning and show an agency worker ( that will be getting paid a lot more money than me) how to do the job, grrrr

    Your work really the worst El! Consistantly annoying to ME let alone you!

    yep they are, i tried the two phone method but i couldn't afford to keep topping my phone up every 5 days, i was constantly getting bombarded by texts and calls and had to call various work people but it was costing me a bloody fortune, so i am back to the old phone and somehow have forgot to tell them my number is back to where it was,:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:;) a few people still have my old number ( i told them to delete it but they mustve kept it for various reasons... and one i am connected to through viber ( so i dont think i had any choice but for her to see me))

    so if an absolute emergency happens i can be contacted but the units dont have the number so there shouldnt be any willy nilly oh el how do i fix this to the chair etc crappy calls happening

    i have been trying to fill out this application form for ages, i have all the info but it's a pdf file so i have to find a program that allows me to write on it store it then send it, mr el and i have tried three different programs now but he says he will hunt a decent one out tonight so that i can get this form filled in ASAP ...

    Money wise, i am quite enjoying this bookeeping, and kinda wishing i could do spread sheets, as the figures are not exact, but they are exact enough for now. Mr el and i had a good blether about our future lives together and retirement etc, i explained to him why i am wanting to learn preserving etc and he seems quite excited about the prospect, it certainly helped when he tried MG's salsa which was canned :)

    he also understands my desire to increase out finances as well as to decrease our spending, and he is also on board with this, he has expressed a desire to learn a long with me, i am ever so glad to hear this as my memory is no where near as good as it used to be and i can't seem to handle stressful situations as well just now, so with him on board that will make the journey much easier.

    so i am back to reading Tim Hale again ... hopefully this time more will permeate my brain :)

    he did a book called Smarter investing, it's a kinda cornerstone book for learning about investing Buffy, he breaks it down into simple easy to understand steps, it still confused me a bit when i first read it but i think when i read it this time i will understand more :)
