  • Sorry to hear you didn't get the job, Rach. It's very dispiriting but what's for you will not pass you as my mother says..

    solway - did you fall off the food wagon cos of having the blokey around? i spend loads more when OH is here as we eat more and also eat more expensive stuff! he is more fussy than me and i like to make nicer things then!

    think he'd go and get a kebab if i fed him my slow cooker stew with veg and quorn tonight (which was gorgeous!)

    That's pretty much it! He does contribute and gets the treats in when we go shopping (this is what over 40's do in lieu of dates 4 weeks into a relationship!) Budgetting has been out of the window this month but I'll get back on it in November. Luckily he's as frugal as me normally.

    Good luck to you, and Sexymouse, in the job hunt.

    Hi everyone, congrats to Mermaid and hugs to Rach.
    Today i haven't got much done expect for a couple of loads of washing and a meeting with the teacher at school DD is doing so well and i'm so proud.sport-smiley-001.gif

    My sister rang this morning and has walked out of her job and want's me to help her find a new one, so i'll be busy helping her for a while.

    It's been a tough day today as hubby has been admitted back into hospital and will be there for a week at the least:cry: , he hasn't been well for a while but didn't want to go in but was told today that if he didn't then he'd be sectioned. Broke my heart to leave him down and there's no payphone as it's broke so will ring the ward in the morning to see how he seatled:cry: , he was in an awful state when i left but i know he needs to be there.

    Anyway gonna get back into flying tomorrow and catch up, try and find sister a job, appointment for DD and club for them tomorrow night, visit hubby as well so that lot should keep me busy for awhilelaughing-smiley-014.gif .
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Night night everyone!

    I'm off to bed now. See you all in the morning. I'm feeling quite good about flying tomorrow morning, as I mopped the bathroom floor at the same time as the kitchen today, so I already have a little bit done.

    Sweet dreams everyone.

    Big hugs to vanilla!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Wow sexy mouse thats a great name.will put it to oh tom but it really seems to go with the other names so well(just have to decide which one gets which name)

    beef in slow cooker.
    td finished.
    washing draped round whole hose.wm ground to a halt(still sounding ropey)
    dd1 decided tonight she wanted to do the ironing:D :D
    so i let her get on with it,didn't make a bad job of it.think this is one skill that needs to be encouraged,so i'll encourage her to practise as much as poss.;)

    big hugs Vanilla xxxx hope huuby gets home soon
    equally big hugs Rach.

    Shirley kids noticed straight away there were babies here but they spent ages arguing over how many there were.cos they were in and out of the tunnels/hammocks etc all the time
    Lead us not into temptation...

    just tell us where it is and we'll find it....

    vanilla - big hugs to you, must be really hard.

    mermaid - keep for getting to say congratulations, hope you are both happy about it!

    solway - my oh helps out too, he bought the shopping on sat 'cos it had 2 beers in for him' but it also included 12 loo rolls and some other stuff for me :) he can be sweet like that! my oh has made me more relaxed about money (probably as he has a bit more!) and he will have saved £12k up for us when we get married and when we eventually get to buy a house down the line.

    just watched doc martin on tv...my OH is so like him...scary!!! :rotfl:
