Well, he's the fiancé's mother's tortoise, so he lives with the fiancé's parents.

Rayanne Graff:
No, he's not mine. i did used to look after him and hug him, though.

Rayanne Graff:
i used to get on all right with the fiancé's mother before but what she said hurt a lot and the idea of seeing her again makes me nervous.
Rayanne Graff:

Well, I thought I'd drop back. Been away a bit long.Psychic Potato:
Still haven't made it into full paid work. Though I have been working up my local charity shop since October, and recently signed up for an apprenticeship.
Psychic Potato:
In a nutshell.
the doc:
Or a potato skin 
the doc:
Good for you, anyway, I worked in a charity shop before I got back into work
the doc:
What's the apprenticeship, Kris?
Psychic Potato:
Business admin. A lot of the positions I've applied for seek it.
the doc:
What you aiming to do?
Psychic Potato:
I'm looking for a job in administration, hopefully. Maybe something IT based. Something that won't rot my brain, ideally, but one can dream.
