Only 4 more questions to go, which I should be able to do before I go to bed tonight.

Off to spend a couple of hours with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal at the cinema

Have a good evening

Thanks Jwil

First of all, let me start off by saying the movie was very good (Prisoners). It was difficult to watch (because of the violence and subject matter) but it was very well acted and it definitely didn't feel like a 2.5 hour film. I smell another Oscar nomination for Hugh Jackman.

Anyway, we get back to the car and OH has several missed calls from his parents. It turns out his uncle died this afternoon and his parents are down here. I know it's awful that he has died, but his family are strange. They aren't very close, don't see each other that often and I have often heard them being nasty about other members of the family too. So I find it a bit hard to be sympathetic when they're so hypocritical. His parents are staying here overnight anyway and goodness knows for how long after that. OH has rushed off to his aunt's so I have no idea when they will be back. I offered to go with him but was told I would be in the way (charming eh?).

I've just finished off the last 4 questions, am going to do my nebuliser and go to bed. I'm tired and don't intend to stay up until they come back.

How on earth did you get into answering peoples questions? I presume you have some sort of research background? On a more nosey level, what do they ask?

Sorry to hear about your uncle, death is never easy even if you are not close.

I applied for a job with them a few years back and did it for extra money but then took it up full-time when I left my office job to benefit my health. I didn't have any research background, they give you a test when you apply and base it on that. They ask all sorts of things, lotto results, weather forecasts, train times etc. Get some really weird ones sometimes too. I've often amused my family with the odd questions.

Thanks with regards to OH's uncle, but to be honest, I only met him once or twice and I have been with my OH for nearly 13 years, so that says how close they are as a family really. I don't get it, but then I see or speak to my uncles at least twice a week!!

OH's parents have gone back. Can't say I'm sorry, I couldn't handle them staying for that long. I'm sure they'll be back for the funeral though.

Work has been really slow this morning and I didn't get started until around 11am thanks to our unexpected house guests. I will persevere and get to 100 though - only 94 to go!!

Received £5 in my Paypal account this morning from Swagbucks, which is a godsend this close to OH's payday.

I applied for this a few months ago but they said there were no vacancies at present, but hopefully they will be recruiting again.

Sorry to hear about your OH's uncle.
