    Good morning everyone.

    Bunny - great to hear about the house and hope telling the kids goes ok. As everyone says, reassure them that you both still love them and it's no one's fault. Keep us posted about the housewarming paaaaaataaaaay!

    Got another lunchtime meeting today but I'm sooo tired, that I'm going home afterwards (they can't complain about me taking time back as they owe me about 50 hours still from last year)...
    Annoyed with Goldfish - i'd set up DD for minimum payment to be made and they didn't take it, so got a phone call last night saying I've defaulted. Anyway, told them who I'd spoken to and on what date and they've (allegedley) set up the DD and taken first payment over the phone. Told them I want written confirmation that they'll remove the missed payment from my credit files and reimburse the late payment fee as I shouldn't be penalised for their incompetence!

    Hope everyone has a good one...

    Morning all,

    Today I've been for a job interview, it's 5 mins up the road from home so would save in petrol. Job is totally different to what I do now. Fingers crossed.

    Bunny, I've missed what's been going on, but I've caught up, good luck tonight with telling the children. Your new house looks lovely but OMG isn't your rent cheap? I pay £720 for a 3 bed terraced. Hope you settle in well.

    Been raining most of the morning here.... DD is asleep as she's poorly, she has glue ear and when she gets a cold it gets sore, so she's on nurofen. I'm going to sort through her toys ready for a boot sale on Sunday.

    Have a good wed everyone xx

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Hugs for all that need them today and sending ~~~~Positive Vibes~~~~ for good luck on the job interviews or whatever you may need them for.

    Just having a bit of a pootle about to see whats happening this morning before going off to my last ever teaching session at one of our outreach centres. I imagine the learners will have something up their sleeves but I will just enjoy the afternoon.

    I hope they dont bring chocolate though as I am on the SW plan:eek: I will just have to give them away if I get any:D

    Will be sad to leave but I am looking forward to new challenges, my last day is Friday for good, but today is the last time I will be with these learners.....hope I dont cry!
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
