Just had my first interview for the banking position I'm trying to get. For once I was over prepared and had the answers ready. Next interview is Wednesday at 9am

Good luck! I keep my fingers crossed for you.

While I was cleaning out the bedroom in preparation for the new furniture, I found my book light behind the bed. It looked like the battery had leaked inside the battery compartment, so I had to throw the thing away. Today I found a rechargeable book light. No more worrying about batteries! Even better, it was on sale!

Our neighbours bought our old house. We went to the notary last Friday to sign the contract. We bought the house in 2012 for 180,000 Euro and sold it for 275.000.

You've done very well.

Can I be cheerful on someone else's behalf? Because my brother not only got offered a very prestigious internship but also got a spot in their advertisement. I may be the younger sibling but I'm super proud of him.

Plus his company designs the software that the bank I work for uses, which I think is cool

Cool beans!

As for my situation, my MiL is out of the hospital and in rehab to build her strength. She's actually able to stand up from sitting in a chair by herself now, and use her walker for short distances. After a week of that, we'll see. She may have to go to some sort of assisted care living facility. If she falls again, neither my wife or I can pick her up. But she's doing better, so here's hoping! You wouldn't believe what those places cost! She has a fair amount of investment income that would pay for it if needed. Otherwise, we'd be destitute in fairly short order. 'Murrica!  >:(

Dave

Two pieces of good news!

Congrats to buddy's bro and hoping DLs MiL gets even better.

The furniture looks good Velma. You need a few more outlets though.
The house is as old as I am. Houses were not built with as many outlets back then. 

The Dr Who bedding was a birthday gift from my husband. It was a very nice surprise.  :D

So that went something like "I have a big surprise on the bed for you!"

I got an unexpected offer to go see a concert tonight! The band that is playing is a smaller band called Twiddle. I was just looking online for tour dates because I wanted to see them next year so this came at a very convenient time.  ;D

Made my first walkies trip to the loo today, escort there but found my own way home.

Only problem was a minute spent deciding if gammy leg was going to behave. The leg is going to be xrayed, doc says thereis no-way it is the teenage problem, that happens because of a growth spurt.

Well, that's something anyway.

So what are they thinking if the leg remains difficult?  Cane, roller, scooter?
