A Stroke of luck…

They say marriage, divorce, death and moving house are the most stressful things in life.

Having had to deal with all these things I know what stress is like But I think having a son out of work and one just about to leave school is just as stressful as all the above.

The son just leaving school has no idea what he wants to do.

Last night we went to the college open evening where I think we had the best stroke of luck we have had for many many months.

We stumbled onto the construction courses and brick laying took his eye, before I knew it we were getting a tour of the work shop .

The instructor, Ken, took too Matthew straight away,especially as we live in Gayton as that is where he is from, born and bred here in fact.

Only 2 places left on the course but Matthew has already been penciled in for one of those places..because he is a Gayton Boy.

The son out of work got very excited when he applied for a job at B&Q, you had to apply on line and it included a personality profile.

Today he received a letter that said "sorry your individual profile does not show a close enough match to the required staff profile"

Needless to say he was very upset and what a load of rubbish is all I can say 🙁

So the search goes on………

Planted with Lavender and lemon Balm….

Planted with a  mini standard lavender which should smell wonderful.

Saw a beautiful hanging basket done with a Rosemary Plant that I may have to go back and get when in Cambridge 🙂

Now I just have to remember to water them !!

Better late than never…

I came across this while catching up with my blog reading, after being away on my holiday.

A truly appalling story and one everyone should read because it could so easily be you or one of your loved ones being treated in the same terrible way.badgesmall2

To give you a little background, Calum’s wife suffers from anorexia; that does not render her unintelligent, incapable of sustaining relationships or a non-person, yet she is being treated as if she is all those things.

Its great to see all the blogger’s pulling together to support Calum and Mrs Carr, as he say’s " Publicity is the key "

Please take time to visit his blog and support him in his campaign.

Teddies for Tragedies

Came across this site and think I would really like to knit a few of these teddies.

Someone from work is going to bring me in some wool so I have no excuse not  to have a go.

I am not a very good knitter but sure if I get stuck I will soon find some help from some where
