    A new thread and already 20 pages - is there a big glitch on, not shopped properly in over a week so no hope of ever catching up.

    my week was dreadful so I need virtual hugs if anyone has spares :)

    Eldest child has worked frantically for weeks for interviews for a new work placement - 2 days notice to do a presentation, group interview and then a trip to London. Then she got an email from her boss, all new work placements canceled - she is devastated. It would have meant an extra £4 grand a year and they could have started saving to get married and a house deposit :(

    Eldest son went off on his tour on Thursday, 6 months without leave, very miserable to see him go but at least he seems to have good wi fi so we have skyped. Counting the days already.


    Worst of all my Dad went into hospital for a weeks investigation, he looked so much better this week, fully awake, eye contact, listening, taking notice and taking part in conversations onWednesday and Thursday. But On Sunday morning he had his porridge and pills and then his breathing changed and he just slipped away before any of us could reach the hospital. So we have a funeral to go to on Tuesday.

    Anyway I am trying to regain something like normality, eldest daughter was home for a few days, youngest son home this weekend so at least we have not been on our own.

    Sleep seems to the hardest thing to tackle at the moment.

    next week will be better I hope.


    Sending you some virtual hugs for you after
    such a terrible week

    A sleepless night

    Mobile conversation with DS as she is going to Ts (complicated details omitted)

    Me - Grab a couple of magazines in foyer - page 73 - tear out MOC for Walkers crisps - buy 2 (going well so far) get £1 off

    Me - Tommy K, huge bottle is £1.50.

    Her - where will I find the ketchup?

    Me - in the sauces aisle

    Her - Where's the sauces aisle? :doh:

    It gets worse..

    Me -Go to ATM & print off a balance - this will give you a £1 off deodorant.

    Her -Why do they need to know my bank balance? :doh::doh:

    morning all, hug to those in need.
    hi to the newbies.
    re Ebay, free listing email for me up to 200 listings presume its for every1.
    Had a buyer say item didn't arrive before and only posted with proof of post, got a cheque back for item & postage, takes a few weeks tho, but think without recorded rm only pay out up to £20.
