Don't get me wrong, hubby does try with things but he just isn't good at it.

That's true. Our HR lady is run ragged as covers such an enormous patch. I want to move into HR, but waiting to hear this week if my organisation will fund the CIPD. I suspect not!

How many staff work in her patch?

That's about right.

I have 3 times that!

Whoa - that's ridiculous! How can you possibly cover thay many staff. They are asking the impossible.

Diet coke chicken, lasagne and cottage pie?

Vegetable soup.

Roasted vegetables and grilled fish or chicken (or you can cook them wrapped in foil in the oven whilst the vegetables are roasting).

Everyone is close to it. There's 6 of us, one has just jumped ship, another is looking for another job, one is trapped because they're paying for his CIPD, the other 2 are playing their cards close to their chests. We all work crazy hours.

We're going to Mauritius end of November. Can't wait. 5* all inclusive.

I'm making spag bol for dinner tonight.

Sounds amazing idl!

Mums got back from making her statement about the crash to the police and the copper even admit he knows fine well the other woman was speeding!!! Ffs! So if that's the case why didn't they put the car on hold for analysis to find out the speed she was travelling so that mums insurance isn't affected as the way it stands at the moment with no statistical and numerical speed evidence from the crash mum is considered at fault but with evidence she would not be becajse the copper even said even if the idiot that hit her was doing between 40-45 mph then even though mum checked she wouldn't have seen her because of the bend in the road so the road would have been clear!!!

When mum said are you doing tests on the car to identify the speed the copper said he had no idea you could get that info!! Goodness me! Shouldn't be allowed to investigate collisions if you don't know what evidence you can pull from the cars Ecu chip!!!! Tempted to blooming ring the salvage site that the blooming p@55@tts at - buy the P@55@t put it on a trailer and take it for diagnositics myself! Talk about if you want a job doing do it yourself!

Mauritius is beautiful - went there in 2008 with my now ex. Would definitely go back.

Are they traffic cops?

Just asked hubby and he said there's nothing in regular road cars that records speed, I guess unless the car is fitted with the special technology that insurance companies sometimes give the option for he says skid marks on the road are your best bet. He's not a traffic cop though, just a regular detective.

You will love it! We went November time too and the weather was beautiful sunshine, although I did end up getting very burnt on my back and the only way I could soothe it was to lie on a damp towel!

Is it just me or is today just dragging? Had to do a new starter induction this morning, but have had to keep flipping the electric heater on and off as this building is soooo cold!

Today has gone quickly for me too! Afternoon is going a little slower though xx

I'd give so much for a quiet period.

It's been insane for the last 18 months, no let up, not even for 1 day. The last long holiday I took for 3 weeks took me 3 months to catch up.

Hello. Really busy weekend just gone. On Saturday my husband's church hosted a play by a professional Christian drama company who are on tour. We went to the lunchtime recital and then were in the church all afternoon making sure things were set up for stalls and refreshments. Once they arrived we could set up the church itself (they bring a set with them and put it up) and we had to feed them (a friend made a beef hotpot). We'd also sorted accommodation, we couldn't host ourselves but two people hosted. We were on the door and serving refreshments, and I had to dash out for more orange juice because we underestimated how many people would not want wine. Then by the time the clearing up was done and money sorted out it was gone 11:00. Sunday morning was normal, with each of us at our respective churches, and then in the pub for lunch watching Ireland put up a good fight. We had choral evensong at husband's church with rehearsal before, so everyone kept watching their phones for the result of Australia/Scotland. I was glad to return to work for a rest today.

I have dark chocolate bars, so tempted to make some Brownies but is so unhealthy!

LO has just tidied every toy up that he's had out bless him.

Can't believe the clocks go back next week

Afternoon ladies I've got beef massaman curry cooking away for tea to night it smells awesome

How's everyone's day been? Mine has flown in xx

I can't wait for it flossie enjoy your shopping and your spag and meatballs xx
