Ach, this whole shop thing is a biggie tbh. Joe doesn't want to tell ANYONE --- and I mean ANYONE. The kids don't know, wasn't allowed talk about it in Aftercare etc. I understand his reasons, he's terrified of the staff catching wind of it before it's properly on the market - but...... it sort of feels like lying, and I'm really uncomfortable with it tbh. Multiply uncomfortable by a million when I think of the poverty levels we may be facing. My salary will barely put bread and butter on the table
How are you? Sounds like there ARE some changes in the Satz house??

Morning molls, whizzy and satzy

Will the staff lose their jobs if the sale goes through, molly? How many staff are there?

Does Joe have any thoughts on what he'll do if/when the sale goes through?

Enjoy the zoo, whizzy

So sorry Molls on the shop & Joe front:h
Probably he is right to sit on it for a while then when you have it sorted in your heads - involve others?
I think you two will be fine on the money front - Joe can get the unemployment assistance - Mr S did ! And something will come up - all that retail experience ???
I'm great Molly. Thanks. Still very tired - sleeping like a baby but can't wake up
Anyhoo yes very subtle changes have been happening.

No more grumpy arse from him every time I open my mouth. If I don't want to go somewhere - it's "ok" !
I reckon when I went to bed 'that night' the kids turned to him & gave him a right talking to.
Who knows - he doesn't talk a bout 'feelings' very much.
I will just go with the flow !!!:goodjob:

Morning Reccerooney :l
How you feeling today ?

Going to dig out the name of the Magnesium+ that I take to help you sleep - that will help when you are struggling.
Not sleeping is a curse - I know from years of experience of it.

And there ay are Molls you know I'm just a PM away. Got a wee bit jealous of your roomie there for a minute a weekend of Molls and Joe's horsepitality is better than a posh spa weekend any time.

I'm not going to talk about pensions but the one thing I will say is we'd have been better off putting the cash under the bed.

:hallo: again, folksies.

Feeling a bit knackered today. I'm off to the airport shortly. My nephew and his girlfriend are starting uni again on Monday. He turned 21 the day before the cub's b'day. He's getting a very boring but practical gift -- a full tank of petrol in his car. Costs about the same as his monthly food bill

Have to go to a 40th b' day tonight. Wojld rather go another round with a bunch of teenagers tbh. Really, really reluctant to go. Mrs. T has offered to be the designated driver for friends of ours, so at least I can fuck off early-ish.

So off I go... droopy shoulders, with a little grey cloud hovering above me. Eeyore comes to mind.

God... I'm shit-scared of both old age and losing my job. Despite paying 40% of my income in tax, there's no safery net - no medical services, no unemployment benefits and no state pension. We'll only be able to draw income from what we've saved and invested. Companies cottoned on to the cost of retired employees many years ago and we're not allowed to stay on the medical aid scheme after retirement and the pension fund was closed to new members over 15 years ago.

Not bad thanks satzy. Was it uber mag? I must admit that I'm a bit sceptical about supplements. Can't help thinking it's the pharmaceutical industry trying to separate us from our dosh.

Oh dear..that doesn't sound good. It'll be a shock to his system...well, it'll be a shock to all of you.

You must have a lot to think about. I hope you and Joe can get something sorted out for the future. Enjoy your weekend with your mate.

Afternoon Jackie

I feel the same way as you about pensions. As soon as I started having a little bit left over at the end of the month, I looked into them and decided they weren't worth it and stuck the money into a savings account instead.

Hi mick :hallo:

Blimey tips! What DO they spend their tax revenues on, then?

Howya Questypoo :l
Reccie I agee on the robbers that are the drug / healthfood companies
Spent a fortune in my day :upset:

These are different. I heard about them from that mad men's gym I used to go to.
No frills just strenghth training. These guys know their stuff and they said we need to sleep to re-charge everything.
Poliquin is the make. Magnesium + L-Tryptophan. I've just ordered some. And no they are not cheap :upset: but hey if they work and stop me drinking to encourage sleep - then they are worth it
If you PM your address to me I will send you a tub and if they work you can order. How 'bout that ? You can pay me back @ April meet-up
