    Evening all

    Had a good sleep, woke about 1330 for a wee and that was it. Woke at 5pm when hubby came up with a cuppa otherwise I'd still be there now.

    Wow, what a day I have had. Been totally non-stop just supporting my colleague to help her meet her deadlines tomorrow. Got one tender done and submitted but was hoping to have had both done and submitted by the time we went home today. I've just logged back on at home and will finish the second one tonight ready to submit in the morning - makes no sense her doing it as she would struggle and I would have to review/amend anyway so I may as well just do it myself and go over it with her after it has been submitted.

    Not what I really need when I'm feeling so bloody cr@p!!

    OH working til 6.30 tonight then going to his brother's straight after work to cut his hair so at least I have a bit more time before I need to make dinner.

    Hubby currently cooking fish and ratatouille. I then have to go out to a church steward's meeting, which I don't particularly feel like doing, but this might be the last one before I step down to concentrate on being a mum.

    Still got quite a bit to do yet - think it's going to be a long one! Chilli bubbling away on the hob and jacket potatoes in the @ct1fry, will be ready when OH gets home. Was tempted to tell OH to stop off at the chippy on his way home but talked myself out of that. Think I'm going to work from home tomorrow so I can have a bit of a quiet and laid back day!

    Evening ladies.....

    Cleaned the house top to bottom. My sister popped round for a cuppa and LO just in the bath and then he's going to bed.

    I still need to do my DVD then a bath for me and bed...

    My car goes In The garage tomorrow so it's gonna be a rush job getting LO out of the house early enough to drop the car off, meet my mum, drop LO off at his dad's then get me to work.... Argggghhhhh, hate the thought of it already!

    Oh well, child free weekend this weekend (apart from 2hrs Saturday where we see OH LO)

    Not really Michelle, obviously seeing OH LO Saturday then he's booked in to have his tattoo done some more.... I'm hoping he's not working Saturday night but knowing OH he will!!

    Chill out on Sunday and just enjoy the peace and quiet lol

    He's still bunged up but he's getting through. He doesn't ever rest that's his problem.

    I bet you are excited for suits on Saturday?! Is your OH looking forward to it?

    Morning ladies..... I'm shattered!

    It was gone 12.15 before I fell asleep last night and I'm shattered now!

    Just couldn't settle at all

    I bit one of those Wicklow things on the side of my finger last week it must have been and it's throbbing this morning. It's so sore but it's just not healing



    That'll teach me!

    Morning ladies. Was able to get a better sleep last night but still not great, but it was definitely an improvement on the last few nights. Blocked nose seems to be subsiding a little now but has been replaced with a horrible cough!

    Working from home today. Need to finish off my tender this morning which needs to be submitted by 12 but after that I'm getting the duvet down and having a lazy day on the sofa! Ended up logging off at 9.30 last night so I'd say I deserve it!

    Morning all. I was shattered last night. Went to bed at 10 but still struggled to wake up this morning. Flossie woke me up at 3 trying to get in my wardrobe scratching it constantly then I was stirring at 5.30 after OH had gone to work. text him saying have a good day then hes starts asking for a bunch of things.. his passport number and driving licence number.. no idea what he needs them for

    Thankfully colleague not in work today so will have a more relaxed day :)

    hope you feel better Flossie. This ones hanging around!!

    Aw Flossie - it sucks doesn't it. I didn't finish until late either, but am working from home today and plan to be finished at 2pm as won't get paid overtime.

    OH in Portsmouth today working so probably won't be home until late, but we've got some champagne chilling in the fridge so planning to have that tonight with a nice meal, but I need to go to the supermarket first!!!!

    Morning ladies, had an awful sleep last night, I think I was up at every hour. We got a new mattress yesterday so I am wondering if it could be because I'm not used to sleeping on that, it's blooming comfy though!

    Doesn't feel like Friday at all but so glad it is! Hoping today is quiet work wise so I can catch up on all the little bits of work I have had to put off!

    Prob the mattress Em, we changed ours a few weeks ago and I never sleep well anyway regardless, but OH is always out like a light and he was finding it hard to sleep for a couple of nights so think it was just the change!

    Colleague just emailed me saying she didn't get back home til gone 8pm last night as there were delays in London with the trains - I emailed back saying I logged off at 9.30pm!!! (Doing her work - though I didn't say that). No sympathy from me!!!!

    Sadly some people are happy to let others do their work and take the praise. Had this once before whereby I'd spent hours on a piece of work which got nominated for an award. I didn't even know the work had been put forward until the following day after the awards cermony where it won! Popped up on my screensaver and 2 other colleagues had taken all of the credit (and glory). Both got quick promotions after that. Still makes my blood boil now when I think about it. I did challenge it, but was told it was down to the Service Director who hadn't realised what my contribution had been - basically myself and another woman did it all.
