My lovely, young brother-in-law back

[lainey lou]

Bother, he phoned a short while ago - didn't get the job. They 'imported' someone from London to do it.

Now have to work to another tight budget Oh well, it wouldn't be Christmas if we had money to spend!

Least he'll be home soon hun and you'll all be together for Christmas. Sorry he didn't get the job.

Sad to hear that he did not get the job, good luck for next time

Dad goes into hospital on Friday, for a nasty op which may, or may not, give him more time. The only thing I want for Christmas is that - more time. At 35 I don't really feel old enough to face life without either parent.

I've done all shopping for the kids presents already, as with visiting etc, I won't have the time or mental strength to face the shops in December.

Oh, and we did the whole growing up without Christmas, coz we went to a slightly whacky church which didn't celebrate it (don't ask...!), and I wouldn't wish that kind of thing on anybody - the bullying I had to take because of that...

Hi Sarzwix,

Good luck to your Dad on Friday, they probably would not do the opp if they thought it would not help.

Be thinking of you all and you know where we are if you need us, Mandy

Good wishes for your Dad Sarzwix. I hope his remaining time can be extended and that he will be comfortable too. I still miss mine.

here's sending lots of positive energy to you and your Dad and family x.

Thanks guys. Life truly is a bitch sometimes.
To put the icing on the cake, my washer has just seeped a lake of soapy water all over the floor, so I'm amending my list;
I would like a launderette sized washer & dryer, please Santa!

Off to wield the mop & bucket...

Think positive, your washer has just become a dual tasking machine, it washes your clothes and cleans your floor...............
