    Hi Jayne

    I'm picking up friends at about 11:00am and we're heading out to some big craft place,which I've never been to, to have a look and lunch and then I'm taking them to a huge kitchen/bathroom showroom to see what I fancy. I know they'll cost a fortune but if I'm not moving to a bigger house, why not??? I hope Mum and Dad wouldn't mind. I'm just looking at present though.

    Do you have another interview today or have I misunderstood? if you do, good luck, Jayne.

    Have a good day.
    Love
    Louise

    Morning Amanda


    How are you today?  We did have a giggle, sometimes I feel about 9 not 49, but who cares, its good to laugh,  and God knows none of us have done much of that over the last year have we?  You sound like you had a lovely day yesterday, it was lovely weather wasn’t it?  not so good today though.  I think its good that you’ve so many of your mums clothes, I love wearing my mums cardi (got it on now) and she would be pleased to see me wearing it, the same as your Mum would. (wearing her clothes that is, not your Mum would be pleased seeing me wearing my mums cardigan !!), you know what I mean.  Are you out today anywhere?  I’ll be about on here after I've popped out for an hour.  Is Josie better?  Hope to see you later.  Love jayne xxx

    Hi Louise

    No i dont have another interview and i'm not sure i want to go to a 2nd one even if they ask.  I sat and worked out the money last night and i know money isnt everything, but it really is poor pay.  I would only be ÂŁ50 a week better off after paying all the bills etc, and i'm not sure its worth getting ready to go to work for.

    Your day sounds great, i hope you have a lovely time, a good lunch, some good conversation and a blummin good mooch round the kitchens and bathrooms.  Like i said, i wish i was coming too.  Dont forget to get your mum and dad into the conversation as much as you can.  I do that all the time.  You can say things like 'my mum and dad would have liked this or that', that way you will feel they are looking at things with you, and your friends wont mind at all.  See you later i hope, love jayne xxx

    Morning Karen, how are you today?  Are you off out anywhere.  I suppose you have a lot to do getting ready for your hols.  Are the boys excited about it?  My hubby says the weather is going to get better towards the end of the week, so it should be nice for you all, i hope so.  See you later, love jayne xxx

    Hi Jayne

    I quite understand what you mean about the job and I totally agree, it’s not worth it. Have you any more in the pipeline? It’s a pity you couldn’t be paid for this “counselling” job; you’d make a fortune!!

    I’ve just walked the dog and as I was walking home I noticed my Mum and Dad’s freezer sitting out side their back door, obviously waiting to be disposed of. It’s only a freezer but it bought a tear to my eye again when I saw it. I remember Mum spending ages cooking and baking to keep it full.

    Better go and get tidied. I’m away to try cleaning the laminate floor again!!!!!! I only got it laid just before Christmas, thinking it would be easier to keep. AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHH.

    Enjoy your day. I’m taking the teddies for a trip today!!! I have them home for the hols so I said I would take photos of their outings. Hope no-one sees me!!!!! What an exciting life I lead. No wonder no-one will have me and I’m still single.

    Hi Louise


    Yes I'm waiting for an application form from another company, I wont say what it is because it’s a bit delicate really and wouldn’t be everyones cup of tea, but I quite fancy it depending on how local it is.  That’s sad about your mums freezer, I can totally understand how you felt.  I cried when we put my mums bed in a skip, there was nothing wrong with it really, just didn’t have drawers in the bottom, but no one wants second hand beds do they, so it had to go.  But it upset me thinking about her last days in it before she was rushed to hospital.


    Your laminate flooring sounds a pain, but Liz seemed to know all about it, so good advice.  I hope you and the teddies have a lovely day.  You could take their photos sitting on kitchen work tops and in new baths and say they helped you choose things.  I would, and I wouldn’t care what people thought, its all in a good cause.  You never know, you just might meet a nice salesman or a security guard !!  (I like men in uniforms, but we wont go there).  Better let you get on, I'm off for a shower and then out, see you later, and I want to hear all about your day.  Take care Louise, love jayne xxx

    Morning guys!- i'm office sitting again at mo.

    I have lots of my mums clothes,several of her jackets/coats-my wardrobe improved no end when mum died!!! it's a comfort though,but i sometimes wonder how dad feels,seeing me in the stuff mum used to wear.

    i might get on later.Youngest has a friend coming over for the day.He's a lovely lad,so always a pleasure to have him here.

    Louise-you're far too down on yourself! Any decent chap would be delighted to have you as a partner,it's just where do you meet them isn't it.My mum (Bless her!) stuck my name in the local paper's dating page once!! Tell u what- i met a really nice chap-it's just that we didn't want the same things out of life.I was getting on a bit! 30, he was same age.i was looking for relationship leading to marriage and children and so was he,but in 5 or so years time!!!! so,we parted company.He was a lovely bloke though and is happily settled now, as am i i'm pleased to say.I met hubby through my dads work,so i think its jolly hard unless someone knows someone etc.Join a motor mechanics class Louise--You never know!!! and at least you'll save a fortune on garage bills!!!!!

    See you all later.XXXXXXX

    Morning Karen!! Its just an ordinary Laminate floor spray-theres a few on the market.Mines a Mr Sheen spray and mop orange scented cleaner for wood and laminate floors.I've just cleaned mine-and it looks ok.Got it in my local Wilkinsons store though i guess most supermarkets would sell it,or similar.

    How old are your two boys?? My eldest is 13,and my youngest is 8. have u packed for your hols?? i havent yet, and i really should get it started.My lack of enthusiasm for the hol is going to catch me out,i'm normally much more prepared than this!!! it will be my dads birthday on 13th whilst we're away,so i think us being on hol will make it easier forhim,as it's his first one without mum.Not long after we come back,dad is going abroad with a sister (hes got lots!) for 2 weeks,so luckily theres quite a bit going on for him.If we can just get through our week away without falling out i will be happy!!!!

    See you on here later,hopefully.X
