Well, I appear to have upset the ILs again. Gawd knows how I manage to do this on such a regular basis. The conversation went like this: H's Aunty: I've just got D's text. I am so sad he didn't get the job, I really thought he would. What does he...

It went to the internal candidate ☹️ No need to respond, I am just really disappointed. I really thought he'd get it. Poor chicken.

I am going to see a psychic ? Before you all start shouting, it's for the magazine. A local psychic claims to be able to tell parents how their children are feeling, even before they can talk. I am going to talk to her about Jonny (11), who will then...

We're hoping to win an award from a local event celebrating the lives of families and those who support them. If you could spare a few moments to vote for Generation One under the 'outstanding contribution' (for innovative work with families) or...

Oh God, this is utterly, utterly pathetic. I am embarrassed to admit it on here ? H has an interview today for a promotion at a different school and I am in bits ? It really makes no difference to me if he gets it or not on a practical level, if he...

Mine has finally come through - it was applied for by the school I am working for in JULY 08. That's 7 months. What a wonderful system. ?

Any recs for merchant services? Is it best to go via the FSB? ?

It appears the company that owns Littlewoods. Empire and Great Universal has bought Woolworths and will reopened as an online store. "Shop Direct Group chief executive Mark Newton-Jones said: "We are delighted to be re-launching the Woolworths name...

I have a Great Aunt, my Gran's sister, who is 80. My Gran died 10 years ago. I have always kept in touch with Aunty Ruth because there have been parallels between her life and mine and, obviously, because I am fond of her. This has always taken the...

There have been lots of threads about people feeling demotivated at work with the recent economic circumstances. As an employer, I am really interested - what does motivate you? For me, it's: Feeling like I am doing a good job Being trusted Being...

I need to pay my employers PAYE contributions, for the payments made on 30th Jan. Is that month 9 or 10? My head hurts [:'(]

Look what I found: https://www.photobox.co.uk/shop/photo-books/lovebook ?

I am sure the answer to this is 'yes' ? I'm not afraid of my phone, I just don't like speaking to people on it. It feels like an intrusion. I am very happy to respond to texts and emails, to phone people myself when the mood takes me, or to speak to...
