    Hmmm, that doesn't sound good :( it suddenly sounds like you're going through a really tough time, Pippi.

    Many supportive gentle hugs.

  • Aw KC I'm grand lassie - yesterday was a fierce weather day with a bit of an emotional evening. But normal service will resume soon!

    :)

    Still no word from the job I interviewed for.

    And today's the day I was withdrawn from which is sad but I just can't afford unpaid trips.

    Hope you're all good? Must do banks in a bit. and a list of course, where am I without my lists.

    Aw thank you lovelies - I think its just not hearing (about outcomes of interviews and also outcomes of applications) which is upsetting me so much. I need to learn to be more patient

    Add's looking after self and mutts to list :D I promise

    DD is off to el Francio at the weekend and I'll miss her. After that only two weeks of school :eek:

    I've also asked work here if I can keep one or two days remote and have heard nothing :cool: as I'm self employed I'm inclined to just tell them that's what I'm doing as they're taking so long to 'ponder it'.

    I'm not good with uncertainty at all - don't like it. I'm feeling a bit inwardly teary which just isn't like me.

    However, there's nothing that I can do and TRG says I'll only need money for flowers when I'm residing in the coal shed - :eek: does that man not know how many flowers I'll need.

    In MOST exciting news, Aunty Wik-McB and I hatched 'operation greenhoose'.

    :T

    Oh Pippi. I'm not good with uncertainty either so I feel for you. You know where we are if you need a good rant/cry/shout/whatever.

    As for you residing in the coal shed :eek: I'll bring my lot up and we'll bust you out ;)

    How long is DD en France for?
