Meltdown

... and the boiler gave up the ghost on Thursday.

Mamma-Lou has been walking around ranting that her medical biochemistry degree is worth nothing in the real world and she intends to enroll in nightschool to trade up in car mechanics, electrical engineering and plumbing ...

(she was a bit cross that the plumber charged her 200 quid to take 30 mins to change a ballcock ... she said he was a cock ... he didn't look like the hens on my picture book though ... confused?)

Look after the pennies

The housing market is in decline, people are an average 8k in credit card debt and I've got school fees to save up for.

Am I too young to get a paper round?

Hot Cross Mum

In the last 3 months all things electrical seem to have gone kaput ... the dishwasher, the washing machine, the digital camea and video and the r key has fallen off mamma's laptop. So she is in a little strop.

And there are builders sorting out fire things in the house and everyone is asking mamma questions all the time.

Mamma is trying vvvvv hard not to stick pins in a kewpie of Mr Difficult who started all this.

On the good front ... dadda bought her a lovely new ibook and she just had a new colour on her hair which looks v sophis,,,,
