  • Hey up folks..well nothing much going on in my world at the moment..i feel a bit like..errr what's the point today?

    Have actually completed a survey without getting screened out. Done lots of washing so need to put up another washing line..so am busy around the house. May even resort to cleaning the windows i am that bored!!!

    Am going to look at a school tomorrow so hopefully that will be ok and still awake at nights..so reckon that is my summer hols. I managed a couple of early nights and that's it.

    Debt wise..well i feel like slinking off in a corner after having to get a new washing machine and laptop..still haven't heard from the car company about balance..hoping for a nice discount but if don't get some work soon will not be able to pay for anyway....

    So there is me sat in t'corner and no plum pie...............

    you're making me feel guilty, cos it isn't apple pie :o

    And while you've got your plumbers hat on, can you improve the flow of water into my bath? I need to start running the bath now if I want a bath this evening. :rotfl: Could it be an air-lock?? Do I have to wait for Popeye to come home in November?
  • Where is your main water tap located? All it probably needs is turning up to improve the flow. It it is hot water and central heating ...bleed the radiators and make sure you put more water in the system. Other things to check with water board..if all else fails is general area water pressure, sometimes extra pumps can be installed but i reckon they will charge for those..oh and if there is any lime scale on tap heads ..these can be cleaned to help flow. Good luck.x

    Good luck with the job tomorrow...hope you get it.
    Don't you dare slink off into a corner lady!!!!...those are things you had to have so alright you may not have had the money put away but they are not frivolous spends...FGS I had to spend £16k on a car the other week ..it was absolutely unavoidable spends the WM and Laptop....as laundrette costs a fortune and you need laptop to save money!!!!...so totally justified...
  • Hello Bobster.. nope no hiding in the corner, it's not like you've gone on a wild spending spree on clothes or chocolate.. :p

    Good luck on the work front - fingers crossed for you! x

  • Thanks ISOM..i do feel a bit ..what's the point at the moment!

    I went around the school yesterday and visited my old campus as it is just opposite..lovely memories. The head was very preoccupied as he was running a chess club at the same time as showing 6 of us around..which i thought was a bit rude as nothing was addressed, he kept disappearing mid tour and basically shouldn't have bothered IMHO also there was no opportunity for questions being asked in private..although i piped up quite a bit. I got the impression that money is an issue..so i don't know is the answer as to whether i should apply or not.

    I honestly feel like giving up a bit at the moment..i suppose it is because myself and Mr.B are at loggerheads again and it boils down to the seperate beds etc..sorry for the info! I am also a bit of an insomniac so that means i have the pleasure of the sofa bed..which with cushions under is very comfy, but i think my eyes look like p*ss holes in the snow at the moment and i feel like breaking down crying as well..

    So there i am feeling sorry for myself..am thinking of going away for a couple of days getting my head straight and seeing what happens from there.
    Hope you are all well.

  • Aww Bob :grouphug: (not sure if smileys are showing up, if not that's a dodgy hug). It's hard to think about anything properly when you're really tired. Am I right in thinking you're in separate beds because of Mr B's snoring? If it's causing problems between you then he really needs to sort it out.

    That's annoying about the school, I can't believe how little effort they'd go to if they want staff!
