    Oh yes.

    My colleague is finishing up tomorrow and goes on annual leave for 2 weeks. She seems to think that I have nothing better to do than help her with her work.... She seems to fail to realise that because she is going on A/L for 2 weeks, I in fact have double the workload that I normally would! Oh well, I'm on A/L for 2 and a half weeks when she gets back so we will see how she deals with it - not very well I'm guessing!!!

    You enjoying your bday GF?

    I've got a lot done too - unfortunately none of my own! But all the for the team and all that...

    Not yet, my boss is in Scotland with the Director this week - he said he would be speaking to him about it then, so fingers crossed.

    Hi ladies. Hope you're all well.
    Emm, you're not pregnant are you? (sorry, had to ask as that's what everybody seems to ask me as soon as I feel like sh1t!) haha!
    Seriously though, I hope you feel happier soon :) hugs xx

    I've got a meeting with CAMHS next Wednesday and a meeting with the senco at school on the following Wednesday. Not quick enough for my liking, but not much I can do about that. She's feeling a little bit better, but still crying at the drop of a hat for no reason. But once again, thank you for the support ladies and for listening to me rant. xx

    Joseph's weight has stayed static. Could be worse, he hasn't lost any, but he does need to gain. We're now giving him one bottle of formula each evening, and he'll be weighed again on Saturday.

    Ha ha ha Susan, that's hilarious.... No I can assure you I'm not pregnant. I had myself sterilised 2 years ago!! My own choice.... 1 pregnancy was enough for me xxx

    Had another breakdown at work today but my goodness, I felt better for it! I need to stop crying.... I start at the simplest things it's getting embarrassing

    Awww hugs to you Emm- hope that things will be better when you have a hug from OH or go to your mum :-)

    You normally seem so chipper and always on the go so I'm not surprised after everything that you are having a down time- the court case, your LO. OH being away, organizing your wedding and all your money worries.

    Have a bath, put your feet up, pour a BIG glass of wine and scoff a whole box of m@lteasers whilst watching your fave chick flick and a good cry, and you will hopefully feel a whole lot better xxx

    I think once this weekend is over with I might just relax xx

    I'm such an edgy person I just want OH to go out, have a wicked stag night and get home safe and sound. Once I know that's happened, I'll be much calmer!

    Was anyone else this anxious when their OH went on their stag?!

    Morning all

    Ended up sitting in the sunshine for a couple of hours with th kids yesterday afternoon when they came home, mother came round and then my eldest came round with Freddie, then we popped out for dinners the local burger bar. It was lovely and so filling. Had a couple of drinks when I got home and then hit the sack. Got work today but doing the day assessment unit, it's so boring as you are in a room in the clinic where nobody else seems to talk to you or offer you drinks. Then got body combat straight after work.

    Into work this morning at 8:10 and boss tells me he has a meeting at 8:30 he needs prep for. Mad rush. Wouldn't mind but I checked with him on Wed if he needed anything so I could have got it done tomorrow.

    Morning ladies.

    Had good news this morning! My boss is back in today after being in Scotland with the Director this week... he has spoken to him and I am officially being promoted, getting a £4k pay rise and the Director has also agreed a new bonus structure for our team, which means I will probably end up with a couple grand bonus every year too. My boss also wants the Director to review my pay again next January for the next financial year. Happy with that

    Tomorrow morning I'm going for coffee with my mum, have dance rehearsals 1.45-3.30, then two of my bridesmaids are coming over at 4 to practice hair. Probably have a lazy night in watching cr@p telly, maybe a takeaway...

    Sunday we have our final meeting with our venue - eeeek!

    No plans for Monday yet. OH will be working 7-1 so I'll have the morning to myself, we might go to Bristol or something in the afternoon and start some honeymoon shopping.

    What you up to Emily?

    Nothing planned. Hoping to go for a few drinks tonight then just packing stuff ready for the move.

    There's a charity firewalk on Sunday at the church my choir is at so I might go and support them.

    OH is working Saturday afternoon 2-10 so a chilled evening with a bottle of wine and knitting is my plan but I will end up packing more stuff knowing me and not realising the time until 9pm then deciding its too late to bother eating haha.

    I've got a cut and colour tomorrow morning, much needed as my roots are pretty bad now. Nice to have a pamper and a chilled morning at the same time :) Really enjoying my book at the moment and it's proving hard to find time to read that isn't really late at night so hoping to get a lot of reading done while I stew.

    Ooh Emily love a bargain like that. Need to get hubby a new shirt tomorrow for my mum's wedding - 1 week today eek!

    Evening all

    Ended up being a busy afternoon at work, had nobody then every man and his dog turned up. Went to body combat after work, was hard work, but good.

    Had an Indian takeaway for dinner tonight as by the time I got back, showered and put pjs on it was late.

    Body pump in the morning, that'll be three days on the trot I've been to the gym. May go Sunday evening but will see how I am Sunday first, might be a messy one tomorrow,
