Hmm some interesting thoughts there @MrFrugalFever maybe I'll explore those career paths!

Also, on a bad note. My car is now sitting in a lay by on a dual carriageway awaiting to be rescued later tonight as the clutch pedal has snapped

Afternoon all, 

Sorry not been a round much. Stressful few days with the car etc, we towed it home yesterday. That wasn't fun, couldn't see at all besides OH big blue van pulling me along

All my washing has been washed and on the line outside so saving a little bit of money on not using the tumble dryer.

Going back to Sainsburys tomorrow as they've just posted they're desperate for staff due to people being off sick, so I said I would do it. I'm using OH can for work and then his car all week. 

I've taken the Clutch Pedal out of the car, took me an hour and a lot of swearing! Also, decided as I had to take the lower dash out I woild replace a faulty brake light switch. So now I'm waiting for my new clutch pedal to arrive in the post it shouldn't take me as long to put all back together hopefully! It's also now going in the garage on the 11th and I'm leaving it there for a week as I physically can't move it and we can't tow it all the way to the garage as its a 40 minute drive.

I've repotted my orchids so they're nice and happy now and I've planted some more seeds in the garden. 

Now I plan to relax, have a gin (early I know but its nice weather) then sit in the garden with the dog.

I have a few days off next month so can't wait for that either!

Glad you're getting the car sorted - what a pain though!  I've been towed once - REALLY didn't like it, and vowed never to do it again! 

on the work front - just a gentle reminder, it is absolutely fine to have a "job" not a "career" - but if you do choose to tread that path it makes it all the more important to do something you at the very least like, even if not love.

Thank you!

Yeah, I also didn't like it. I couldn't see besides OH braking

Yes true, I would love to work with plants or gardening so maybe I'll venture into that side of things
