    hubby has just been speaking to a work collegue it appears everyone that is on light duties is being put forward for an M.R.I i am starting to think that redundancies are going to be happening ...one person has been told that if he isnt willing to go back out to work on the track (digging the roads) he will have to take a drop in wages and do another job ...now you can just guess how much of a drop in wages that is going to be i reckon down to minimum wage which is about £7 an hour or so ..

    It was the wrong interview..:confused: apparently his details were mixed up with the ones he went to the council for and college..so the stupid man said he would have to re book him..:mad: If you can figure that one out you are a better person than me..dumb sods..:rotfl:

    I will look forward to having a spin:D

    hi i'm back ..well have been since late late thursday but been busy seeing to all the things that need taking care of while i was away ..

    course was fantastic i really enjoyed it i found i was missing hubby alot while i was away more than i thought i would actually and he seems to have really missed me also ,aybe it was just what we needed...

    i learned alot the format was breakfast from 8 am -9am then class till 10.30 the a quick coffee break and back to it till 12.30 lunch from 12.30-2.30 before back at it till 5.30 pm we learned alot but it didnt feel like we were learning if you know what i mean we all had a laugh and carry on but really learned...so i am looking forward to the next two weeks away and that will complete the course very intense but worth every penny i think


    my el has the consultant today so we will get his results for his m.r.i he is quite nervous about it going from the "oh i am glad this is finally it" to the "what if there is nothing wrong with me and it is all in my head" stage so i'm gonna take him out for lunch today to try and calm his nerves a bit

    i start uni on wednesday looking forward to that i can tell you but i havnt got anything prepared for it yet so will need to do that tonight when i get home ..anyway better get ready to get mr el out of the house before his nerves are shot to hell ..

    hope you are all well and will let you know how he goes
