Actually, now that you mention it Bev, I don't! I do try to "untick" the box most of the time because otherwise I get dozens of emails that I have to delete, but sometimes I forget, so no, haven't received any lately. I find it easier to just go down the list of subjects and with newer ones read all the comments, with older ones such as MOB rants etc. I open in a new tab and open "view latest post".
Might be an idea to report the problem to the Moderator:
I feel the same, Sue. I find the notifications irritating, because I have a look at the latest posts anyway. Also sometimes when the notification says you've received a reply, all that's happened is that someone else has posted with no reference to your remarks - no problem, but it isn't a reply, that's all.
Thanks chaps. Mega stressed, just had a job interview, not a particularly edifying job, but one I can do from home, only trouble is it's shifts, and at least one will be 2 am till 8am, so not sure I will be gutted if I don't get it, but we're skint and we need the money! Will be writing to the school for bad boys & girls to see if I can get a job in the garden there. Was talking to my sister in law, we've worked out that I was getting the same money for 3 days work in London as I will get for a whole month (18 hours a week) in Rotherham. I don't want to leave my little ones and go away to work, but might have to soon, it's getting to the stage where we're having to decide to pay the mortgage or eat!!
Anyone want an Oracle/SQL/Business Objects programmer part-time? Services offered very cheap if I can work from home!!
MMP, I used to do weekly boot sales, 20 years ago. They were mostly for charity but I always took at least £50 even then. It was pleasant, too, sociable and fun to haggle and look for things to sell. Just a thought.
Do you think I could do boot sales with my brambles? I'd make a fortune!
The sun is out, my voucher arrived yesterday, and now I have enough money for a wolf cultiweeder, and during my mammoth clearing up session yesterday I unearthed two buckets of plaster my OH has bought and forgotten about, so it looks like things may be looking up. Now all I need to do is win the lotto and I can stay at home and just worry about my little ones until the littlest one starts school (September next year).
Only blot on the horizon now is Sister-in-Law's land rover has blown it's fuel pump (quite literally), so OH will be using that as an excuse to play with cars all weekend instead of chucking plaster at the wall, then come home in a bad mood as brother in law is as useful as a chocolate fireguard and as lazy as a cat, so will be no help with the car (he doesn't know his mole grips from his water pump pliers). He complains about the car no end, but doesn't lift a finger to keep it on the road, drives it like an idiot (starts a 2.5 litre diesel engine to drive son to school, so engine doesn't get warm), he lives just down the road from us, and I walk my two to school every day, come rain or shine.
Sorry, was in a positive mood and it's turned into a rant against people that are lazy and don't appreciate what other people do for them!
MMP, I had to learn to say 'No'. I know it's your OH that's doing the work and not you, but you are the one missing out. I know it's easy to give advice, but often very hard to put it into practice. I was a people-pleaser. Now I think, do I want to do that and don't feel guilty if the answer is no. Could you put your foot down with a firm hand and let him know that your needs are greater than BIL's? I know it's not easy.

Swiss Sue are you getting e mail notifications? I'm not getting any at the moment.
MMP as everyone else says here is a good place to say how you feel, we'll all try to help you in any way we can.

Yay- the weather must have improved.
No rants for over 24 hours

Afterthought - boot sales are a way to get rid of surplus plants, too.

MMP- you storm on with your rant-we know exactly what you mean....
Some people just aren't worth the stress unfortunately. Have some cake..
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
