I`m Happy Happy Happy!!!!!

I just had to tell you all, I GOT THE JOB!!!   The manager rang up at 6pm and I was ready to be told that I missed out again.  I nearly fell over when he said it was mine...I`m in shock...lol!  That means now I`m officially employed I don`t have to be so careful with my money....Yippee!  Actually, I`ve always been quite good with money.  I only buy what I can afford and apart from the mortgage, which is now paid off, I`m never been in debt and don`t intend to start now.  It will be nice to be earning again and I miss work...for how long I don`t know.  It`s only four hours a day, 10am to 2pm and the job will keep me busy and pass the time, plus it will give me something extra to talk about here.  I think I`d better tell Jim and the family now, I`d quite forgotten about them in my excitement...lol!

This morning Jim ordered a infant car seat for my car.  It turns out the one in Tesco was from 2yrs upwards so it`s no good for Roman.  Anyway, as I`ve said before the prices online can be so much better and this was no exception.  Yesterday evening my darling grandson pinched my lip and cut it with his sharp little fingernails and it really hurt too.  I sat there wiping the blood away while he laughed and tried to do it again!  Of course, Jim didn`t have any sympathy  at all....hmm, just wait until its` his turn...lol! 

I don`t think I told you about next doors guttering did I?  I was upstairs yesterday morning when I heard a loud crash outside.  I ran to the window but couldn`t see anything so I forgot all about it and carried on with what I was doing.  Later, Jim told me he saw the whole thing, he heard a loud crack, looked round and the guttering was coming away from the wooden frame that held it in place.  Then the whole thing came crashing down. The thing is the same thing happened to us about 10 yrs ago.  The man who fitted it was recommended by the same neighbours....He`s excellent, they said, and very cheap...that should have started alarm bells ringing but we obviously weren`t listening hard enough at the time.  This chap P put new guttering up at the front of the house...at the time I thought he was a bit `couldn`t care less` about his work but thought he must know what he`s doing...famous last words.  Three months later it fell down again.  I tried to contact him but he just said he`d be round in a day or two, then he said he was going on holiday, then he stopped answering the phone altogether so we gave up and paid for a proper company to do the job.  It wasn`t cheap but it WAS an excellent job and what we should have done in the first place.  Anyway, our neighbour was really happy with the work P did for her and she even defended him saying that he had family problems and it must has affected him somehow. Oh really...that`s alright then.....but do you know where we can contact him to get our money back???  She didn`t. So now after all this time, the first piece of guttering has fallen down, you can bet your life the rest will follow.  I know it`s been 10yrs but he did the same shoddy job for them that he did for us, do I care?  Not a jot.

Right, I`ll take my leave now and read some journals, but I`ll leave you with a ghost story with a difference that I thought you might like.  Bye Bye. :o)

THE DENTURES OF DOOM

One cold winter evening many years ago a poor woman was searching for sticks to light a fire. It was a bitterly cold day, the snow was falling and she badly needed to warm her cold old bones. Her search led her through the churchyard at Perranzabuloe, Nr. Perranporth, Cornwall, where she noticed a curious looking object protruding from the earth on a grave. She paused to examine it further and imagine her delight when she discovered it to be a set of perfectly serviceable false teeth!

Reasoning that they were of no further use to their previous owner she pocketed them and hurried home, intent on trying them out for size. She was pleased to find they were an adequate fit, and feeling pleased with herself she went to bed, leaving her "new" teeth in a jar by her bedside. That night she was awoken by a scratching on her window.She sat up in bed and listened.The scratching came again - followed by a ghastly voice which could be heard croaking beneath her window...."Give me back my teeth!" Panic stricken she flung the teeth out of the window, not daring to look in the direction of the voice. It ceased abruptly and she slept fitfully for the rest of the night.

In the morning she she ventured outside into the snow.It lay thickly spread beneath her window, but search though she might there was no sign of the teeth..Nor were there any footprints in the snow.
