    I've been stuck at work all morning.:( Thinking about doing a 3pm run for Irn Bru, Carex and Radox, I'll see if I get a chance later.

    I think someone (newbie if I remember rightly) said earlier they would be posting the Radox results just after 2pm?

    I'm stuck too :(, but I think the Irn Bru might work today.

    It certainly looks like it should work, as do the Radox and Carex. Like you though, not sure I want to spend 40p on shower gel when I already have 80 in my stash and there is not enough markup on them to sell them on at a bootsale in the summer.

    I find it impossible to work from home - too busy reading on here, doing washing, just have another cuppa etc etc etc.

    When staff ask to work at home, i'm very mistrustful.... but some actually produce good work when they are there.


    I work from home:o

    I've got about the same shower and handwash, so no more of them unless they are free, or paid to take away. :rotfl:

    Following on from the conversation about people coping with lots of small children... This woman is going to have her hands full :eek:
    Giving birth less than a year apart would be hard enough, but triplets :eek:

    Things a bit fraught in our house. My parents aren't getting on so well of late and my Mum has been talking to me about wanting to leave. She hasn't raised this with my Dad yet but he has a temper.

    I said to her I'd back her but obviously she needs to find a job (she had a part time one that she was made redundant from a couple of years ago) and sort out material stuff with my Dad. Me and my sister still live at home as we don't have the funds to do much else. I said she shouldn't worry about us and think about herself for a change but I am worried about where I might live if this all comes to a head.

    This has been going on for the last week or so. Don't really know what to do.

    I hope things resolve themselves. I do think it is important for people to try to work through issues, every relationship has it rough times.. some last for ages and are difficult to resolve!!

    But it must be hard on your mum if she has been home for a few years, and also hard on your dad if the burden of financially supporting the family falls fully on his shoulders. Maybe your mum may feel better returning to work and gaining new friendships, confidence etc.

    I think a hard thing that needs to be done is her telling your dad how she is feeling without this exploding. This hopefully will enable them to begin to work together.

    But if all else fails, they need to be adult and discuss how they will proceed if they decide to separate, the last thing anyone wants is WWIII with you and your sister stuck in the middle.

    Two things sprung to mind... OMG why would anyone want to have sex so quickly after having a child and I wonder where she will put them all in a one bedroomed house!

    I am sure she will cope well with the support of her family and other support agencies.
