Throwing her in would be preferable at times.

Bit of sisterly tension there...

But she just doesnt enjoy being in the water like I do - she tends to spend her time when we're on holiday sunbathing next to the pool and going in for a quick swim to cool off.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

I really ought to get back in touch with some of the dive centres out there and start diving while I'm on holiday again but it's so expensive so I've just not been able to afford it the last few times I've been out there, used to be so easy to call my friend who lived there and ran his own dive centre and go get underwater in the places he wouldn't take most of his customers, or less fun the dives when he was leading a dive with relatively inexperienced divers and I was on a freebie boat dive to help look after them with him.

I take it your friend no longer does scuba there?

No he moved back to the UK when his daughter was getting to school age, he and his wife decided it would be better for her to be educated over here rather than risking the English school there or the Spanish school which isn't great at supporting bilingual children.

Well, that's understandable, their kid's education is quite high up the pecking order - even if it spoils your freebies.

I'd better knock off now, but it's been good talking.

That's a lot of shopping at amazon. Do you just buy presents there?

Local, or in the city?

At the moment am aiming to be able to buy a Kindle Fire but usually its pressies or when I lived alone I had a few grocery staples on subscribe and save, things like pasta, tinned veggies, cleaning stuff.

Fairly local, town just up the road, which is handy as it means I can also take a run over to say hello to the staff at my new work place.

What's it about the Kindle Fire that grabs your fancy?

"New" as in the one you've been working in the past few weeks? Or is this news?

It's cheaper than an iPad and saves me working out another app store since I already use amazon for so much, plus if I want to buy stuff via it I've always got credit in my amazon account.

This would be news. I had an interview yesterday, had a phone call today offering me the job. Managing a coffee shop in a shop, working for the same company I worked for in Surrey.

Fantastic news about the job :beer:.

Thanks PWPS, I'm quite looking forward to it, similar to the job I did down south but a managers role in a much smaller unit so I'll still be very hands on and customer facing alot of the time.

It's about a 30 minute drive from home but I can look in to moving nearer if I'm happy after a couple of months.
