it's a very special feeling to have worked so hard and be rewarded for it
I didn't go to my graduation when I got my masters degree. I think I was at a protesting moment about the whole cost of it at that stage in my lifethis time next year......HOPEFULLY......I will be picking up my PhD :eek::eek:
it's a scary thought.
I hope he has something lined up work wise. University is no longer the easy route to employment it once was :A
He is doing a masters, so another year of student life.You left three teenage lads on their own :eek:
I would not trust even one of mine on their own esp not the eldest one - even now after the sparrow and open window incident.
And he is 25
My oven has melted knobs and controls the result of being set alight - 2 of them left to their own devices decided to grill steak except that they then wondered off outside and let it cook itself
One of a long series of incidents ...
Left mine home alone and had a text:
There is a frog in the kitchen.
Thought it was a joke toy, so lent near it and its eyes moved. It's real.

Yesterday was a prime example.
We were going up the bypass to do the rounds on Sunday when the car made a significant pop like you would if you ran over a plastic bottle. OHs said he had lost power. I said do we need to go home, so OH went to the roundabout and we turned for home.
He said it must be something to do with the turbo as the car had the dynamics of a brick.
Monday morning he rang the garage who said he should ring roadside assist but he said it was still drivable just about so off he went.
The garage he goes to is weird, most have appointments but it's also a drop in centre for sick cars, you sit around until an engineer has a spare 10 mins then he checks your car out and decides if surgery is needed.
OH sat around, eventually he was slotted in - several deep discussions about wether it was due to something needing replacing or a pipe that had become dislocated. It was the later so £160 later - mainly for labour, no new bits needed - and 3 hours later he drove home all fixed.
Its a good thing I can't get any available nights in the hotel I want to book us into for a cheeky couple of nights away“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Good morning all...
Today I remember 52 souls,hundreds who were injured and those families that will never be the same again...
....and I am thankful that but for the grace of God go I...
My OH was working in London on a long term project at the time travelling every Thursday morning to London and home every Friday evening...regular as clockwork...except that particular week when he travelled 24 hours earlier because we were going on holiday on the Friday and he needed to be home on the Thursday evening
His usual routine would have taken him through one of the stations at 8.50am.
I remember the day very vividly...frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
2017 toiletries challenge 179 out 145 in ...£18.64 spend0 -

Even if it did take over 2 years of not letting it go. :rotfl::rotfl:N1LDA0
