    Morning Guys!

    We have managed to nick someone elses BB connection:D :D:D but it is very weak!

    Have heard from DD and she has arrived safe and sound. Our bungalow is beautiful and there was even supplies of bacon, butter, eggs, brad, milk, cheese, tea, coffee and sugar when we arrived;) It is very quaint and very quiet...perfect!!

    Today, we are off to the market at Kings Lynn and a drive. Last night OH cooked a lovely meal of Garlic Chicken, roast spuds and carrots...devine! Today we have a lovely lamb chop each with new pots, brocolli and french beans. Just had breakfast of boiled egg and soldiers:D

    Anyway, Im off to have a bath and get dressed.

    Hugs to all.

    Morning all!
    N9ev Hope the tackle was in good order, and you catch loads!:rotfl:

    Hester Sounds like you did a great ob raising your daughter, sh'e obviously got your generous nature. What a doll!

    Well, got that job interview this morning at 11.45. nearly talked myself out of it yesterday, but I'm going anyway. I'd really like the job. It's manager of our local Oxfam Bookshop, but I'm safe at school at the mo. I've been there 9 years, and I'm worried about my security if I have a sudden relapse (damn MS), at least where I am I know I'll get paid. If I wasn't alone, and relying on my wages it wouldn't be an issue, but it is.
    My partner says I should go for it, and decide if they offer me the job, so that's what I'm going to do.:T

    DS is still asleep (when isn't he?) Got his EMA letter yesterday. He's been awarded £30 a week, which will be a great hep. He can top up his own phone for a start:rotfl:

    Anyway, have a good day all!
    I Believe in saving money!!!:T

    Morning all.

    Hope evey1 is good?

    I'm off to Liverpool this afternoon. Managed to get some tickets for the Nick JR event in Manchester (thanks to the op on freebies forum) So going to stay with OH's sister in Liverpool and go to Manchester for the day on the sat.

    Need to go get packed, haven't packed yet :eek: Kids finish nursery at 12.45 so need to be packed and ready by then.

    Looking forward to a non OS weekend. I admit I do like the money saving and feeling of being organised, doing things OS. But is nice just to forget about it for a weekend, and go and eat out and not have to clean up after, and worry about saving money :rotfl:

    Anyway only a quick post from me today, must go jump in the shower.

    Hope every1 has a gd weekend.

    Hels xxxx

    Hey Everyone,

    Sorry I havent been about for few days i`ve been busy job hunting. I`ve got an interveiw today in the afternoon but im really nervous. Its through an agency which i didnt know when i phoned up and now i have to spend my last few pound going to southampton in the pouring rain. I`ve never joined an agency before, i thought all their jobs were short term things but apparently this job is a full time pernament posisition.
    On a positive note some one of freecycle gave me a really nice fishtank yesterday which i`m starting to set up for my frogs and lobsters.Oh has made a glass screen that slides into the tank making it into 2 smaller tanks. They are going to love it.

    Kind regards
    Fishcake

    Can you let me know how the seminar went, we are starting to get serious about moving to New Zealand, before it was just something to talk about. We plan to go there on holiday in 2009 and hopefully will be really going for it after then. Its my incentive for paying off my debts.

    Good luck Fishcake
