Good morning roomies.

Today is a day of change. Taxi Mum has more duties. JoesDad needs a lift to the station and Daughter meeds a lift to work.

The biggie is that JoesDad gets made redundant today. The payoff is in the bank, he just needs to pick up his P45 (tax form for our overseas friends) and hand back his stuff.

We're not in a panic. We have plenty of money to live on for a while and the mortgage was paid off last year. We have studied the finances and there's no need to cancel anything we have already booked. He was made redundant a few years ago and got a new job straight away and we still have that money banked thank goodness.

So he's just going to be getting under my feet for a while. I think he's relieved more than anything.

2017 is turning into quite a year and it's only April. New beginnings and all that. :)
Wishing JoesDad good luck in the job hunting and hope he finds something he enjoys, but uses his free time to recharge his batteries. Someone once told me that you should work to live, not live to work and that is very true!
Also great your daughter has made it to the second interview she obviously impressed the, and congratulations to your son on his 21st!
Never a dull moment in your house Linda - they certainly keep you busy!!!

Good evening everyone - the long weekend is here!:)
(for some of us)
The forecast isn't great for Sunday and Monday but tomorrow doesn't look too bad.
Hope everyone has a great weekend whatever you're up to.
Good evening Lyn. It is indeed a long weekend (again) in the UK... for some people at least.

We have opened a bottle of wine and are relaxing in front of the tv :)

That sounds like a good plan!
I don't usually drink in the house unless I have visitors but I may make an exception tonight.
I have a few nice bottles in my oven wine store!
Cheers!!

I removed my baby tortoise for sale ad from Craigslist.
I can't deal with idiots.
I'm losing faith in humanity.
The last two texts were from two separate morons with the same idea.
"I'll give you $100 for two."
I placed the emphasis on EXPERIENCED KEEPERS ONLY.
I even suggested that they should be tortoise forum members.
It looks like I'll be keeping them...Unless I hear from a few local members.
Or I can hide them in one of @Pearly suitcases when she's in so. Florida this summer.

I would have a tough time too!! I can only image a poor guy stuck in a 5 gallon tank eating romaine forever!
I'm so glad none of my eggs hatched!

I guess you'll just become the crazy tort guy and accept it!!

I'm envisaging a Tortoise Cove setup. Ed surrounded by lots of RFs. Sounds perfect :)

Good morning all.

It's a bright sunny day in Kent and son is 21 - not that he's up yet. We're going up to London for a meal out to celebrate this evening

He scraped his sister's car last night which isn't going to go down well when she finds out. Fortunately nobody else was involved and the damage is very minor and will polish out (John why don't you live nearer?!)

Happy Birthday to your son, and hope you all have a good evening in London.
