Hi all

another sunny, hot day

Jax - I wish your OH all the luck in the world for getting another job. As Ginns says he is worth a million just for getting out of the work he was in - trying to persuade old ladies to buy what they didnt need.

Please let us know when he has received good news on the job front - and please let him know that we are all behind him on his 'move' ;-)

Ginns - a very big 'WELL DONE' to your son. I know you are VERY proud and rightly so. I am very pleased for you all that his results are SO good!!! :-D

Hello everyone else. Are you all OK? <3 <3 <3

Sylv - the eggy bread was done to perfection AGAIN this morning - thank you for remembering me!!!! <3 [none of the others do when they do breakfast in your absence!!! - shame!!! lol] :-D

Have taken grand-daughter home and we have the day off tomorrow !!!.........JOY !!! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

It has been a very long week, even though I love them to bits !! :-) - I am going to enjoy having the day to ourselves tomorrow !

I think I might vacuum a few more carpets. :-)

I haven't had time to do much with the new vax but I know I LOVE it ! - It is so light that I can use it and even manage to carry it up and down the stairs.

I can't use it in the bathroom though as I have vinyl cushion floor in there and this machine is SSSooo 'sucky' that it just grabs onto the floor and tries to lift it up, refusing to move. :-( - For such a tiny machine it is really powerful.

I know it's silly but I feel like I have a little bit of independance back.

Going to have a little relax now with the radio and build up my strength for the morning !

Fantastic results for your son Ginns - you are quite right to be proud of him !!

Just think - he almost didn't take them !!!! - What a waste (in more ways than one) that would have been ;-)

Will he be going to Sheffield then ?

Does that mean he won't be leaving home quite yet ?

Gins - well done to your son enjoy the celebrations and dont drink too much ;-)

Well done to your son Gins........Jonesey beat me to it re the wondering bit!!



Jax, do hope your man gets work soon..... <3



I've enjoyed my non-pressured day............. :-D :-D

Ja..x I hope he does get the job, at least your man has 'morals'

Its ok leaving but there is no work avalable doing anything, he has not worked since december when the last company went into recievership. that was a nice little job. I would say that he has worked less than a year in the 3 years we have been here...and £58 a week carers allowance does not go a long way.
He has applied for another driving job this week but the hours are probably 2 am till 10 am....not really a good idea....but he can give it a try if he is lucky enough to get it

ja...x

Yeah I remember your OH working there for a short time

And I had the same with not being paid unless etc....

I dont feel sorry for the sales people, if they are anything of a 'person' they would leave, as your OH did

That sounds like the rather expensive dodgy kitchen company HID worked for briefly.
Both parties had to be there unless they were living alone of course....Had to sign on the day if not the salesman did'nt get paid. Most were not even interested and only had the sales pitch so they could claim a free weekend break that was being offered.
He did'nt last long there, after he refused the hard sale on an elderly lady who was about to move into an Old peoples home and did not want to spend thousands on a new kitchen on a house she was selling.....but you do have to feel sorry for the salesman he was only trying to make a living....most of these places only pay commission no basic salary aswell

ja...x

Well that was an experience....

The man from Safe Style came for the appoinment at 3.30pm, I could see his disappointment when he realised JB was not here with me - they had asked three times on the phone if we would both be here for the quote.........I said yes but it turns out JB couldnt get out of work ;-)

So, he couldnt do the quote as we both needed to be here, why I wonder! So I tell him thats too bad, sorry youve wasted your time

Then he rings the office and the hard sell starts, wasting their time with me I fink! He wanted me to make a decision today about the quote and sign on the dotted line.

No way I said, Im getting three quotes and Ive had one, which was made to me all on my lonesome and sent through the post for me to think about it - nice and civil like

So he pushes for me to make a decision today blah blah blah......Ive not even had the quote at this point!

Well now he's gorn, no quote and never to enter my door again - my choice by the way

Im soooo proud Jonesey, I cant stop grinning :-D :-D :-D


Oi :-P

Hi Gin,

Sounds as if he has done very well indeed.

What I can't work out however is where all his cleverness has come from. ;-)

He's back with his results...................


TRIPLE GRADE DISTINCTION


you cant get a higher grade than that!


:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D :-D


Edit:


Just spoke to Sheffield Uni......they snatched his hand off when they heard his results!

What a joke

Son goes to fetch his diploma results this morning, to be told they dont have them, they will come through the post!

4 weeks ago, Northumbria Uni confirmed his place - they knew his results back then

He wants to go through 'adjustment' and apply for a place at Sheffield Uni but Sheffield want to know his results before they can accept him, despite knowing Northumbria have offered him a place, which confirms he has enough credits!

So, I rang the college earlier to ask why his results are not available and how is he supposed to go through adjustment TODAY without them?

Got a call back 10 minutes later.........his results are at City (which is not the campus he has been studying at for the last 2 years) if he would like to collect them!

Now I know 'why' I dont work for a College/Uni and only guest lecture.......they would drive me insane with their incompetence :-P :-P

How many kids who havent been offered a place at Uni cant go through 'clearing' today because of this :-| :-| :-| :-|

Ooops......forgot to say mornin~~~~~~

Can we have just a teensy weensy bit of your sunshine please Sylvs ??? :-D


Been houseworking so have just popped in for coffee.............watched Heir Hunters too. One of the stories reminded me very much of the mystery surrounding Evelyn's mother - Diane Leslie MacLeod - who stubbornly refuses to give up her birth details........ :-S


Hope Dea is wide awake and functioning well............... :-D

The temperature right now, at almost 11:10 pm is

23.8C in the back garden


28.9C in this room.

and 27.0C in the bedroom.







:-)

It's alright Sylvia - I might be 'up' but I am not ready to eat anything yet.

I have to wait until my brain and my body are both awake before I can face food !! ;-) :-S :-)

See you all later,

Dea Xxx
