    Morning ladies.... Well it's finally here!!

    A few jobs to get done first but it's finally court day. I'm surprisingly not too nervous but I'm sure that will come later.

    Let's just get it over with...... Like you say, let's just hope the magistrates see it from our point of view rather than hers.

    Had a good night last night. Did all of the ironing. There's more to do already because last night I took one load off the rads and put another load in so that will be ready to dry now. Least its up to date.
    Had a lovely veggie dinner. I actually love cooking when OH isn't at home because I don't have to have meat. It's nice to change things up :)

    I am starting on my revalidation stuff for work. Every three years we have to provide a load of information, stuff that we already do now but just do not write it down, things like feedback and reflections on practice or CPD etc. Mine is not due until September, some have to do them in the next couple of months, but at least I have a few months to get them done and then it is out of the way for three years. Just unsure I am doing it all correctly seeing as this is the first time it is being used.

    Off work today and tomorrow. Had a nice little lie in, just switched the laptop on as I need to monitor my emails to wait for something important to come through so I can submit a tender that's due tomorrow - definitely not working though, feel I need this long weekend to de-stress. Had a long weekend last weekend too but everything with the car stressed me out and in the end I felt worse!

    Beautiful day here so think I'm going to head out with the pooch soon and make the most of it xx

    Hi all. I have a very rare day to myself today. LO at nursery, OH dropped him in so I could have a bit of a lay in. Going to see a girl about wedding decorations at 12 then got to clean then going to have my hair done.

    Good luck with court Emma

    Good luck with revalidation GF. I haven't started mines yet but it's not due until sept next year.

    Thanks Danielle. I've done one reflection so far. Still got plenty of time.

    Sun is shining beautiful here. Got a white wash on, that will go on the line when it's done. Love seeing white washing on the line in bright sunshine.

    Forgot milk and teabags when I popped out so need to pop out and get some more later.

    It's gorgeous weather in Cardiff today. I think I might well go into town at lunchtime, even though I went yesterday. I wasn't going to but it seems a shame to spend the hour indoors when it's so nice. Plus we've run out of biscuits which is totally unacceptable.

    Just back from a walk round the lake with Oscar, it's lovely out there. Don't mind if it's cold as long as the sun is out and there are blue skies. Instantly puts you in a better mood.

    Time to put a wash on and I shall be doing the same and putting it outside. Can't beat it!!!

    Nearly made a real idiot of myself on the walk to work this morning. Managed to turn one of my feet under me and nearly went flying. Thankfully I stayed upright and just ended up limping a little bit as my ankle was hurting, but it settled soon enough. I was crossing a small road at the time so once I got across the road I could stop and circle my foot a bit until it calmed down. Absolutely fine now, I'm just glad no one noticed. It was right outside a garage so if I'd fallen flat on my face they definitely would have noticed.

    This is at work Emily, and I don't think we've run out of biscuits since before the summer. Everyone brings things in to share around. We had so many from Christmas that I think we all just assumed there was more, until they all ran out.

    I know I always keep biscuits at work. I ended up keeping them in my drawer as the directors kept pinching them. Its rare for me to run out.

    My new trolley laptop case arrived yesterday for when I'm getting the bust to work from Monday. I'm really happy with it. Its got 2 document pockets so will use one for documents and the other for my personal bits.. Knitting, purse and lunch. I don't intend on taking a handbag with me and luckily wont have to :)

    Good luck today Emmilou.

    I have revalidation next year GF and Danielle, I am a bit worried I am going to lose my nursing registration, they have said I have to have worked 450 as a nurse and 450 as a midwife to maintain both. Though my boss thinks some of my midwifery skills can be classed as nursing skills, so not sure how its going to go. I have toyed with dropping my hours and doing a bank nurse shift once a week. I really don't want to lose my nursing. xx

    I've just put some whole wheat pasta on to cook and I'm just going to throw in tuna, egg and a load of salad, hopefully it will be nice!

    One of my colleagues has saved the biscuit situation, so I don't need to walk into town now. I might still pop out into the park though (the college overlooks a huge park right in the city centre), as it is a really nice day and it seems a shame to stay indoors when the sun is shining. Annoyingly I was due to be going to a midwife appointment this lunchtime but the surgery rang yesterday to cancel it so I'm now going next Thursday. It's about 25 minutes walk each way, what are the chances that next Thursday it will chuck it down.

    I got a chow mein for lunch. Think they have changed the recipe. Wasn't as good as usual.

    A bit peed off with OH we signed some house papers on Tuesday night. He forgot yesterday and didn't tell me until I asked when he got home from work at 11pm so too late to do anything. He promised me he would do it today. I called 15 mins before he was due to leave for work and he told me he was going to do it on the way. then I get a text half an hour later saying he was flustered and didn't know what to put in the envelope so hasn't don't it. Feel really rubbish about it. I shouldn't have to do every little thing myself. I asked him if he had forgot until i called and apparently he hadn't but thought it would be straight forward. I'm sorry but what did he expect it to be, crafting the envelope from used tissue paper and then hand delivering it on a skateboard whilst blindfolded? It was just putting a piece of paper in an envelope, writing the address on and taking it to the post office. Not sure what's difficult about that. URGH! MEN!

    Leanne, I don't have nursing, but I know some of them at work are dropping the nursing registration as well due to not being able to do both. It's good to be nurse trained as well, we sometimes get patients sent to us, bed manager asks if any dual trained on shift, mostly not, so they have to send a nurse to care for them as it's beyond our remit. As you say, things like cannulation, IV infusion, caring for someone after surgery could be classed as nursing roles as well but thought they were not allowed to be counted.

Could be half an hour the solicitor said then he will come back out whilst the judges discuss it. The solicitor is confident that we will get an increase but just not 100% how long etc which the court will decide. Anything is better than 2hrs on a Saturday xx
