Thanks D for the great tag.
P.S. Mort....There Is an entry under this pic! lol. ;-)
Hello Everyone, I am still job searching. Hopefully something will come through for me soon. I had to laugh last week. I honestly pictured someone up above, having a rather long and hearty laugh at my expense! lol. I decided on tackling the garden with having so much time on my hands, so I got ready,
Slapped on all the gardening attire and started hauling out the tools, Rake, Hoe, lawnmower and strimmer. I was raring to go, plugged In the lawnmower and this almighty high pitched screeching noise almost made the birds fall out the tree's! lol.
So, that was that. The lawnmower was no more! Hmmm. I attempted to strim but gave up, as the strimmer Is In fact very small and more like an edger! and not designed to tackle a garden my size. After 5 mins It felt as though I had been clinging on to a numatic drill! lol. Tools away. Inside the house needed doing anyway, I had just been avoiding It like the plague!, so I had a cup of tea to soothe the anger, then after dusting, decided to tackle the hoovering. Moments later... The Hoover blew up! lol. I can laugh now!!!. Okay the lawnmower was bad enough but now the hoover!. Amazingly enough, I stayed calm. These things are sent to try us, better to laugh It off and move on.
I Borrowed my neighbour's hoover and after asking my friend to borrow a mower or bigger strimmer, was told that her man would come and do my garden free of charge! How kind. I got the house looking good, then tidied up the weeds and raked up all the cut grass. I have been walking loads aswell. I need to stay positive and use my time to try my best to shift this excess lard! lol. To date, I have lost a stone and a half. 21 pounds sounds more! lol.
Ive decided with all this walking, I need a new back and legs! lol, so If any of you happen to see any nice, shapely pins at your local sale or a nice tanned back, In perfect working order, please give me a shout! ;-) Take Care Back Soon. xx

that is awesome weight loss, Pam; what is your secret to do so? I'm trying to get back on track once again with dropping a few pesky pounds
that was amazing to have the mower and vacuum explode the same day; so glad though about your attitude towards them and the help and kindess of your friend and her hubby to help you with the lawn care
I know you will find the right job very soon!
betty
OMG what luck you were having with your equipment!! I would have given up! Good for you that you didn't!
Congrats on the weight loss! That's a LOT! Go get a 21lb watermelon and see how heavy it is!
Good for you keeping so busy on your off time. You're better than I am. I tend to just be a couch potatoe on my days off. LOL!
Hugs..Pam
I always wondered what a stone was. Yes, 21 pounds sounds better! Good for you! Yay, my pam!! My vacuum died recently, too. Yes, these things just try us. How nice of your neighbor to work for free. You remain in my prayers to find the "right" job for you!! I love your positive attitude and I love you, dear! your val xox

There are days like this! I have had my share and sure there will be more- but mission was accomplished, right? Good job on the weight- I hope you were trying to lose- I have lost about 36 pounds since late January- Depression over job and holidays had really gotten to me but I'm great now- still no money but I laugh a lot! Dannelle
Loving your attitude Pam. I especially love that a vaccuum is always a hoover and a weed eater is a strimmer. Always learning something new from the other side of the pond. I almost choked when I read from Mort that gas (petrol) is $11.00 a gallon over there. OMG! How in the world do you folks deal with that?
Anyway, I'm rambling...have a good week.
Hugs, Joyce
I am glad that you were able to go out and garden. I like to garden too but here in the Pa mountains it is stilll 30 degrees at time. We cant really garden until June. I am looking forward to planting my sunflower seeds. I have been doing alot of walking too. I have to walk my dog three times a day or he is way too hyper!! Well have a nice week. Stay safe!!!! .....love, Christine
Your mower and hoover die on the same day! How dreadful. At least you were calm about it. LOL
Missie
The power equipment in your home will be hiding when they hear you say you are going to put them to use!! Seems when one thing breaks another is sure to follow..usually immediately. I'll keep my eye open for those legs & a back ;)

Good luck with the job hunt hun xx They would be mad not to employ you xx You could always come and work in my office :o) We need someone else on our team LOL...........I'm glad you laughed at the lawnmower and hoover I would've gone crazy lol
Jenny
LOL Pam It's a pity you couldn't get someone to do the house work for free as well now that would be a bonus, well done on the walking and weightloss thats really good. I'm in the market for someone that has a whole new body for sale..lol aged about 21 and 1 owner and in mint condition!
Good luck with the job hunting, something wil turn up
Big Hugs

Perhaps all the mechanical rogues are deciding to commit suicide all over the world. Our lawnmower was done in last month, a couple of weeks ago the vacumn left a fine layer of dust and dirt on everything before deciding it was done. The lawnmower thankfully was fixable, the vacumn well...that was replaced to the tune of $150. It's a Hoover however perhaps this will outlast the last one. As for gardening...ugh the weather here in NY is not having any of it with the rain and cold. It would seem we are both on parallel paths these days dear friend. Now if you told me you went to a wedding from Hicks ville Hell...I would seriously think we were twins. (Hugs) Indigo
Sometimes i'm grateful I no longer have a garden.
