Just popping in to see how others are doing? I've just set a challange to pay off £8000 this year. In reality it will be more due to loan payments but am trying to not think of them & aim high!! I have pretty much all I need for now but will need some new clothes but other than that should be able to live more frugally! I'm getting better at it as time goes on but do struggle with it, as we all do! Currently feeling grotty with a cold (having only had flu 2 weeks ago) and somewhat hacked off!

I'm feeling rather spiffy today. Another Cr*p day in work, actually told my boss to grow a spine and act like a boss... lol, HOWEVER......

I think I've got European grant money to do my retraining... to the tune of £1500!!!! Will cover my fees an everything!!!
ISOM, you still needing the big hugs??? Hows the bolier?

Hi stunty! Careful insulting you boss - dont want you getting the sack! Hugs always welcome (although suspect people will talk lol!). Feeling a bit low TBH - only had flu 2 weeks ago & currently have gunk dripping down the back of my throad from my sinuses which isnt great (wel you did ask!). Boiler is lovely after 2nd plumber came but still waiting to see if the first lot will reimburse £135 to me or whether I have to go to CORGI with a formal complaint - 2nd plumber appalled by all the parts they'd put in as if they'd set it up properly 1st time round it would have worked fine without £100 more parts & £150 more labour so have compromised & asked them for the labour money back...will gp as far as I need to as not prepared to let it go! It marred what was otherwise a perfect Christmas though. How you doing? What are you retraining in? Hows the running?

lol, I'm training (retraining from my current job) to become a driving instructor. My current boss is a fat lazy so and so (he's actually my supervisor, but my boss is fat and lazy too) he's also sexist and is bossed around by a nasty little sexist homophobic gimp. (I don't like this gimp.... you might have noticed) My work partner is a lovely lady who happens to be gay, so he keeps trying to give us the rubbish jobs. Oh and the little gimp keeps making little nasty comment to this lass. I'm not standing for it. So I told him to grow a spine and start acting like what he's paid for....

Boiler sounds awful, i watch "House of Horrors" but to actually get one of those rogue traders..... Eek!!!

Re: the gunk, have you tried Vit C??? It helps the immune system apparently!
The runnings fine, and theres plenty of hugs off me to go round. I'm a firm believer in them!

You may want to show your lesiban collegue this stunty!! Also remind nasty boss that if there was an industrial tribunal about his behaviour he wouldnt have a leg to stand on and his job would most likely be at risk! Sounds like a creep but theres pleanty of ways to skin a cat (not that I ever would want to & my three wouldnt have it!!)...I could never be a driving instructor! Took me 3 times to pass my test and am a nervous passenger! Not that I ever let anyone else drive & if they've done it once they've not tried a second time!!
Vit C, echanacia & multivits all followed by a healthy glug of red wine all slushing round my poor body! Almost through a box of tissues but this is better than the flu I had two weeks ago when I literally couldnt move out of bed/sofa for 5 days...no aching at least! Thanks for the hugs! Much appreciated!
