    Ug, El, to a cold, really not what you need right now. Paracetemol, echinacea and a hot water bottle.... lots of virtual hugs coming your way.

    El, really sorry you are suffering with a cold.....I have got an ear-ache and a sore throat - maybe it is MSE-itis........????

    Please please please make sure you listen to your body - you have so much on your plate right now, and I know that you need to work, and I know it is a bit of a case of "pot calling the kettle black" but....you know what I am saying.....(((hugs and hot water bottles))).

    Rich, when you have finished cleaning El's place....please can you nip down the road and do mine :D

    no i usually drive down your street to be honest ...and wear a cardi ohhh my never lol ...hows you today?


    hypno i know what you mean i do need to take it easy and not make myself ill but i need to make up for the short fall in money from hubbys wage so really dont have much choice to be honest ...

    well i'm having my usual quandry ...
    i have reached the glass ceiling of my job i cant go any higher without having more qualifications i can do more responsible stuff and in fact often get left to do the more responsible stuff but somehow dont get paid for it (i'm sure some of you know how that is) hubby's health also isnt great and he cant carry on in his job forever so will need to get a new job ..however he wont be able to get as good a paid job as he has just now ...so i am back to thinking maybe i need to go to uni to get the qualifications to go for these jobs that i do but dont get paid for or maybe (and preferably) something better...

    anyway i have written to the uni to find out how many days i need to be in to attend attend these courses full time as i cant afford part time (it will cost me well over £6,000) and am just waiting on a response ...i feel like i am going on a merry go round this quandry comes up far to often and is so frustrating
