    Hi everybody

    I'm late on the go today as i had to w**k. I have had a rotten day if truth be told :( Im really not enjoying my job at the moment and today was carp. I've been offered another job but the money isnt so good. Should i stay where i am, miserable but richer or go and hopefully be happier but poorer?????
    Ahhhhhhhh decisions decisions :o will have a chat with OH tonight about it and do some sums.
    It another lovely day here and DS is digging holes in the back garden :eek: so i should really go investigate. Lets face it tho he cant make it look any worse than it already is!

    Take care all

    Evening!

    Another busy, but lovely day. Spent the afternoon at a church which is being restored.

    Mum's going away for the night - off to a funeral. So just me, Nan and the dog tonight. Doing pasta for dinner.

    Done my daily clicks - is it me or are they a bit thin on the ground at the moment? Done a few surveys too.

    Hoping to get to bed early tonight as I have a 24 hour shift starting at 5.30am tomorrow morning.:eek: But I have Friday off in return:j

    Morning All
    Another lovely day here in Berkshire.
    We had a late night last night, went to meet a friend for a birthday drink, we only stayed an hour but it was a 2 hour round trip.
    Came home to find Katy 'busy' was a bit of a shock, but gave us such a giggle.
    Best get ready to go to work, have a good day everyone.
    Hugs Hester


    Hester, just caught up with your blog :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Priceless :T

    Hiya :hello:

    Hugs to Jayward, hope you're feeling better soon and also to anyone else in need of one.

    HardupHester! :eek: :rotfl: :eek:

    Another lovely day here. I made bread in school this mornining which we ate sitting outside in the shade. To be honest we've spent most of the day 'learning' and playing outside today. :D
    The girls had a water fight in their friend's garden after school whilst still wearing their uniforms and walked home dripping wet!:rotfl: It's just as well we only live around the corner from them.
    Tonight's tea was chicken, bacon and mushrooms in a mushroom sauce with tagliatelle followed by meringue, strawberries and cream and smoothies. DD1 has just gone off to Guides, DD2 is lying in front of the tv, DH is marking books and I'm off to watch Martin on the other tv.
    Have a good evening. :D

    Evening
    Thanks for all the comments & I can promise you there will only be innocent pics on my blog, but you have to admit, I'd live a very boring life if it wasn't for Katy.
    Hugs to Smokey, PP, Mrs Mix, Candy & Jayward.

    Had to go to work, so have just read Hesters blog :eek: :eek:
    I've said it before, but you really should write a book, you could then change your name to Rather Well Off Hester :D

    Lyndseyann, well done, sometimes the worry is far worse than the actual treatment.

    Fi27, I'd say go for a job you enjoy, even if it is less money, but only you and your OH can make that decision.

    Jayward, sorry you are feeling down, have a read of Hester's blog, that will soon cheer you up. Sorry I don't know anything about your condition, but I'm sure someone will be along with some info for you. Meantime, have a ((( hug )))

    Candygirl, deep breaths, you are a Mum, everything will always be your fault :rotfl:

    Just catching up before watching the Apprentice, I love that programme, and every week I shout at the screen about who should be fired. Sir Alan, if you are reading this, give me a job, I'll sort them out :D
    You're only young once, but you can be immature forever :D
