Sounds Dickensian.

Stick in dishwasher...or....leave well alone.

Not everybody's got a dishwasher.... and you can't just leave them!

Indeed. That's why I get my 12 year old chimney sweep to do it.

He's getting a bit old for that.... chimney sweeps are past their best by the time they're 9.

San Marino -the country.

San Migal - the lager.

I've just got round to Wiki'ing it.
San Marino's what I'd say was Italy

I woke up feeling sorry for myself and very empty and alone.

Welcome to my world .... I'd like to say it gets better; it doesn't.

I've got another specialist appointment tomorrow, this time to see if I have tonsils cancer too.

Once all this is over and you leave those shores it'll really feel like a brand new start.

Good luck Thursday!

Happy birthday Nikkster.

Why is it embarrassing to PM nikkster Mas?

Glad boredom is creeping in Gen, if that makes sense.

So, picture the scene. You're a student at university. You're worried about student loans/fees/debts. Older brother has a well paid job in London, & is fairly minted. You have conversations about money & debts & your worries. Older brother issues a challenge:

Remain in the Library at university for 6 weeks. You can leave for 45 minutes of each day to wash & change clothes. 23 hours 15 mins every day must be spent in the library. You use that to study, work hard. Complete this for 6 weeks, & pass your degree, & I'll pay off all your student debts in full.

A worthy challenge. What a fab idea!

When our daughter did her undergraduate degree she had to take the loans. Our deal was that if she completed the degree we would pay them off, if she did not she had the debt. We paid it off when she graduated. We had always paid for education we just wanted to shift the risk/reward more towards her as part of learning about life.

The only exception was that one year she had taken a maintenance loan...whilst living at home, her car/holidays being paid for by us etc and having a reasonable income from a part time job...we thought this taking the micheal and agreed it was her decision to take it and she would pay it back.

She paid her MA fees herself from income/savings. She never asked us...and we never offered:)

Belated greetings for yesterday....and lots more good wishes for the days to come.

Sorry you are feeling empty and alone...I remember you posting that you would rather be alone than in a bad relationship. When I see some posts on the relationships board I think they could do with being as wise as you.
