    Why Caz????? What on earth did you do to it??? The mind boggles :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Greying :p

    I can't talk about it until the court case has finished :p:D
    Caz I do like a good curry :D but Friday night was about the 'romance' so we avoided spicy grub :)

    Wee place down by the ferry terminal fed us grand.

    Ahh, that narrows it down it to two :) Been to the non-fishy one several times, as it's MIL's favourite restaurant, can't go to the fishy one because fish makes me chunder, but Mr Minx says it's superb. Hope you had a good time :)

    Very good Caz, very good :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::D

    Pippi, its lively on here! OMG, you're winding down! Truly madly deeply :beer: tis very exciting. Good luck on the job that closes this afternoon, and well done to DS on the paid placement - considering the amount of unpaid internships around, thats a brilliant achievement all on its own.

    Waves

    Like a feebly feebly thing.

    :)

    Will update properly tomorrow words (rather oddly) have left me chops but I so wanted to say thank you for making me giggle and pop by when I'm a bit 'arghgh' trying to get stuff in on time and do work too.

    I'm giggling at you all though.

    Reading and digesting

    Two job rejects again today - beginning to think 'c'est la vie' - I'm sure they've got the right folks for them.

    One nice letter saying they're looking at my app.

    Another nice email saying the same.

    Another application ready to finish but I'll do that probably tomorrow.

    And, a very gorgeous garden is looking for a propagator.
    Full time and in just the right area - wages are a wee bit under my current rate but its a cracking job so thinking about that one.

    Life's not about money, but about choices, buy my choices affect other folks alot.

    Ponders.

    With a shared home and living expenses, its perhaps a go'er. And, life's about managing to live rather than money for the sake of it.............so much to ponder.

    Link here for anyone greenfingered who'd like such a great opportunity.

    Cos of course sharing is good and I realise I'm not the only gardener on the block!

    Grins at the first one - Haven't been to court for bad behaviour in a while.......;) I put this down to my ace running skills :)

    Fish was the main courses at w'ur place. Tell me of this other place you speak of (the one that doesn't make you boak)

    :D

    I got the application in :) and a nice thanks for the app email. :T

    DS will earn his first wage and enough to help him get through his driving test too if he's a mind. And home for the summer - YAY

    Mind me I said that!

    He'll be in the Kingdom in RG's factory so that's kinda cool. Not RG's own factory and they don't know he's a RG but don't tell, please it might spoil his working ambience. :D

    They can car share too.

    I know he's lucky as its hard enough to get a placement never mind a paid one.
