well done clivealive1, here's to the next year....and the next...from here to infinity!



(Sorry I couldn't find Buzz lightyear)

Thanks Karma, I've just sent her a text to suggest that, hopefully she can get something sorted, she is so worried, bless her

This thread has done me good, having just had a major row with my eldest daughter I came on here feeling very unappreciated and generally p**d off. However having read through this thread and taken stock of the year so far I really should stop moaning. Yes the kids are driving me nuts, but they're just being young adults, it just seems their priorities are a little off line putting their social lives first and not thinking how the shopping, cleaning etc gets done while they're out having fun. But we have a roof over our heads, I have a job ( at the moment at least). Apart from stupid arthritis my health is ok. The car works... For now, and I just got a small rebate on my council tax, seems I should have applied for the single person discount as the kids are both full time students. So in comparison to many we're ok so far.

My thoughts today are with a colleague at work who starts jury duty on Monday, yesterday she discovered our employer will not be paying her while she's there and the total reimbursement she can expect from the court is going to leave her £400 out of pocket. She's the only wage earner, her husband is disabled so that's the equivalent of their months food gone. When she desperately tried to get to the bottom of it yesterday she was told very curtly by the court that it was her civic duty and she'd have to lump it! Our employer...the NHS...told her much the same, she looked completely shell shocked, with that kind of support they wonder why so many of us are jumping ship...

Ah that's ok then! I won't mention I bought em in Asda on Saturday...oops!



My excuse is I've just realised I reached my 6 month vaping milestone yesterday and I'm celebrating! Lol

I think it's excellent, just slapped it on my Facebook page

Like many one of my incentives to start vaping was the cost of smoking, when I first found the forum I was using cigalikes and not saving much. I was very kindly offered kit by a forum member to start me off, though very grateful I didn't take them up on it as after receiving advice I found a way to keep my costs to an absolute minimum by buying boge cartomisers and using my existing batteries, I felt better doing that than accepting kit from someone who might have subsequently needed it for back up. I would have been mortified if I had damaged it. To me the advice I received was worth it's weight in gold. I have let interested friends tryout my ecig to see what it's like and then I point them in the direction of the sites I've used and this forum of course!

Happy New year everyone! Lovin the fireworks!
