    Had a money talk with oh tonight and opened him a n@t10nw1de account with 5% interest on up to £2500 as he's with a bank that pays no interest atm which is silly.

    Explaining it all to him was so painful. He couldn't get his head around why you have to pay a certain amount in each month to qualify for the interest but then have a limit of how much you can have to get hour interest

    Lol one of the women from netball have taken a full on hissy fit.

    One of the ladies she got on well with moved to Brighton last year and is coming up between 23-29th for Christmas so was arranging a night out. The same night a few people said they couldn't do certain days and we'd sort of agreed 27th.

    So this other woman a week later replied saying Make it the 23rd as I go away on 24th so can't so the others even though other people said they couldn't do the 23rd. Mum posted in the mail yesterday what date was agreed and the lady that moved away put 27th as the 23rd was her day of travelling and she wouldn't fancy it so the woman wanting the 23rd has left that group and 4 other groups netball related!!

    I do find them things complicated sometimes I must admit..... I like things straight forward and explained it what I call 'Emma language' lol

    You sound really sensible with money Becci..... I ensure all bills are paid but if I have any spare, it burns a hole in my pocket lol x

    Time for sleep!

    My philosophy of the earlier you get started the earlier you'll be home and considering I've been silly enough to decide I'll do a 3 hour drive in the mining, complete a trip report and training before then travelling 3 hours home again I best set. Off super early if I want to b home any time tomorrow.

    Wednesday is no better either 10 am start 3.5 hours away finish about 5 then battle rush hour traffic out of Northampton to get home most likely about 9pm before catching an early train the next morning to Aberdeen for an overnight stay and late return home at 7.40 on Friday .. Will need to squeeze the shopping in then viewing a house on Saturday and have our netball night out.

    I hate being this busy makes me anxious!

    All college staff meeting this morning. The meetings are never particularly exciting but they're worth going to for the refreshments beforehand. Then an afternoon in the nativity, and we're now putting Christnas decorations up after talking to my mum on the phone. Her mum's Alzheimer's is getting worse unfortunately, and they're talking to the doctor and social services. Think she at least will have to go into a home, and even my grandfather is slowing down, although his mental health is fine. He is 96 and she's 92 so it's to be expected, but I've been hoping they would both end their lives in the home they've been in for 70 years.

    Morning ladies...

    The fresh bedding was lovely and I got straight to sleep however LO woke me at 1am crying as he said he had pains in his private parts. A trip downstairs for paracetamol and then I struggled to get back to sleep. My alarm went off at 5.20 and I just wanted to stay in bed



    Early night for me tonight!

    Morning all.

    Not got time to read bck over the pages. Was meant to be doing the day assessment today but they asked if I could change it to an early shift, I was more than happy to do that, then they asked if I could change it to another long day so back to it again. I was so tired last night when I got in, had a couple of glasses of vino to chill out and crashed out in bed.

    Was a busy shift yesterday, there was so much going on. Only problem was I had not got a uniform ironed so need to do that in a bit, also I defrosted something from the freezer for dinner as I had nothing preprared for myself and it was a chilli and I don't want that so will leave it for them to have here for dinner instead.

    We had staff training today, which involved eating lots of biscuits. We also did the secret Santa, which resulted in me getting some chocolate truffles. I'd avoided anything edible as you don't know who you're buying for (it's more like a lucky dip), and one girl is vegan and gluten intolerant. Fortunately she managed not to pick chocolates.

    Oh so your secret Santa is everyone just buys a present- you don't buy it for a specific person- that's hard as we gave various religions and allergies in the team so Woukd be hard to buy anything neutral! Lol

    I've often wondered if we would be better off allocating people but when I've mentioned it others aren't so keen. It's been more challenging since we got a man on the team, it used to be all women. I generally avoid anything edible because of diet requirements, and anything like perfume or cream that goes on the ski in case of allergies. I've usually ended up with stationery or a calendar, or something decorative.

    Yeah I much prefer buying for a specific person- unless it's the one person you don't like- I got that this year but I bought her a really nice b4ileys mug with a bottle of B4aileys coffee and mints- was really nice, looked expensive and she loved it too!
