Hi Jayne-hows your day going??? its so cold here ive got my heating on and had to fetch a heavy jumper!!! such a contrast to yesterday.My eldest is thoroughly enjoying his sport activity week and he came home yesterday shattered!!!! Sun looks like its trying to get through now.
I'm wearing one of my mums jumpers too.We were similar sizes,although when her hernia got bad she had to buy tops that were size 16-18 so some of them are a tad large on me,i'm a 14. i thought i might feel a bit odd,wearing mums stuff,but i don't. Clearing out her clothes after she died was upsetting.some stuff that i knew she really liked wouldn't have suited me,and i felt awful giving them away.She had a funny sense of what suited me,and i could almost hear her saying "dont get rid of that-that will look nice on you!" I've kept one or two bits that i know i'll almost certainly never wear because i could practically feel the indignation that she would have felt at me giving them away!!!!!
She had a black coat that i thought i'd never wear,and it is too big-but dad said to me "thats mums funeral coat! she keeps it for funerals" i was about to get rid of it.A few weeks later,dads sister died,and i was glad to have kept it.
Anyway-i'd just logged on quickly to see who was about.
Hi to you too Amanda- though you might be working today i guess.Hi to Liz also,who is working. see you all later XXXX
Hi Karen, well done about the carers job, good luck. Its very cold here today as well, and mizzling a bit. I just got an application form for a job but im not sure about it now because you may have to travel to other branches, so not sure about it. jayne xxx
Hi Marie, I know what you mean about the clothes. My mum had a brand new beige jacket that was lovely, but she was size 16 - 18 tops and I'm 14 so when i tried it on, it drowned me. I gave it to one of her sisters and was well miffed about it. It would have looked great with black trousers or black skirt. She had never worn it, bless her.
Hi karen-- good luck for next thursday.I shan't be about to find out how you got on,which is annoying! i will have missed a lot by the time i get back,won't i. Hope your youngest enjoys his birthday--will you be doing anything special?
We're just loafing around at home today.Youngest's friend has just arrived so i'd better go off and organise us all some lunch. XXXX
Well, never a dull moment here. The door bell just rang, and there stood a nice looking policeman. he started gabbling on about a new dna thingy, so i said (being a suspicious person), can i see your ID please. He showed me his badge, which looked home made to me. So i said well i'm sorry but that dont mean anything to me. Then he said well ring this number and check out my collar number. So i locked the door, phoned the number, gave his collar number and they confirmed his name. Felt a right wally didnt i? Anyway, hes babbling on and on about this dna stuff, meanwhile i still have the phone in my hand and it rings. I recognised the number as the medical centre i went to yesterday............ so didnt answer it. I have a feeling they want me to go back for 2nd interview, but i dont know what to say to them. Its not enough money, so do i just ignore it when it rings again or what ???? (what a coward). I darent say the money isnt enough because yesterday i said to them 'money isnt everything is it'. Ive just wasted their time. Aren't i useless ??
Dont blame u for asking for id. i would too.Not your fault if it looks home made is it.The police are always telling people to be careful,so he should expect some people to want to check him out.Very sensible,well done!!!!
As for the job, i doubt if you'll get away with ignoring the phone.You just need to tell them that after a night to think about it,you dont feel that the job is right for you.You could always be very big headed and say that they were right,you are over qualified!!!! It is true,after all so theres no harm in letting them think that you have realised that after all.If you're careful about what you say,you can give them the impression that they have talked you out of it,then you won't feel guilty at all!! good luck!! XXX
Excellent Marie, you're brilliant. I'd never thought of that. I've never ever had anyone say about the qualified thing before, so I was a bit surprised, but I could, as you say, make it sound as though they DID talk me out of it. I'm starting to think that I really dont want a job at all, but I have to get one. I want to be sure its the right one when I take one. Could take forever though the way I'm going. I think I want too much really. The right place, reasonable money, nice people, etc. I know I have to make some sacrifices but I just want what I want. (awkward sod).
Hows your day been? Its freezing here, had the heating on all afternoon. Done a stew for dinner, feels like winter again. I bet Louise had a lovely meal. Hope she took plenty of photos of Joe and Cuddles !!! (Oh sorry, forgot to say that I'm on first name terms with them). ha ha, be back later, hubby home soon, look busy, look busy............................
