    All done..... Feels good xx

    I have just read on the book of face a heart breaking story about Baby P... I've just sobbed and sobbed!

    I never knew the extent of that little ones injuries but OMG. Heartbreaking!!

    I would love to work in child protection/social services but I just don't think I'm clever enough

    I might research a career change. I'm a qualified nursery nurser with a diploma which may give me a slight step in but I'm guessing I'd need degrees and stuff.... Hmmmmm, something to look into I guess for after we are married!

    Its sickening isn't it Em

    I wouldn't be strong enough to make a difference.

    My blood boils just seeing stories on fb but I get more upset when it's animals but more because I haven't had kids or have kids in the family and we do have pets - I seriously don't know how humans can do these things

    Definitely worth a look :)

    When my granddad was in intensive care all I could think was I wished I had the strength to do what they do day in day out because they literally save lives .. wish I'd done something a little more exciting with my life rather than a management degree - can't really make a difference or have a positive impact on wider society with that but never mind!

    Emily I wouldn't worry about your boss. You had to say what you did, if he can't take the criticism then your work is better off without him. If he gets another job working alongside female colleagues and behaves the same way then the same thing will happen, and ultimately he might get the message.

    Emma court proceedings are horrid, and can make everyone snap. They just drag on and on, every time the anxious build up followed by the anti-climax. I watched a family very close to me go through it and it nearly destroyed the relationship between my best friend and her then 17 year old daughter. Rows were commonplace, police were called on one occasion to calm things down, and on another they picked up the 17 year old as she was sat on a bridge over a railway line. One night the mother ran out and we called the police as we were so worried about her state of mind. They're getting back on track slowly but surely now.

    The story of baby P was heartbreaking. I could never be a social worker, I wouldn't be strong enough to make those decisions and deal with the consequences. I think it does involve a degree but it's probably the kind of thing you could do with 0pen un1 while working.

    I had the day off today in lieu of Saturday, and as payday was two days ago I spent time in town. I've got two more pairs of black trousers with birthday vouchers, and finally got a couple of maternity bras in a more comfortable size. Surprised at the range of sizes in Mcare though, thought they'd have bigger ones than they did. I also got some candles as presents for my SILs on my side of the family (my brothers' wives). Hubby will get a present for his sister.

    I slept solid last night but I never really stopped after getting home.

    The CD is back today after 2 weeks of paternity leave so he will be buried under emails today. Can't sneak on the net during the day now though as his office is behind me... Booooo

    OH is home tonight thank god. I've missed him this week

    That's sounds nice mmw2b ... You deserve some chill time!

    It's really dark and gloomy here today as well. Yuck.

    On the usual 8-9 conference call to discuss all my areas damaged cars and what's happening with them ... I hate that it's so early but I only have one problem car that's been waiting for an alloy from the dealer for over 31 days which I keep nagging them about so should be an easy call for me :)

    TGIF!!!! I cannot wait for this weekend but I have a feeling I will be working again.

    I fell asleep at 9.30 last night. I was so tired. Was up at 5.330 and in work just before 7.
    Woke up and OH stirred saying that his skin was really sore. I hate it because there is literally nothing that can be done for him. He has his creams and bath oils but other than that its live with it :(

    Its really cold here this morning. haven't taken my jacket off yet.

    Need to be thinking positive today or ill never leave here on time.

    Hi Everyone, a quiet day on here.

    So peed off at work today. I spent all day yesterday, last night and got in early this morning to prepare for a meeting that my boss cancelled at 9am. that's a whole day and a big chunk out my social life wasted because he cant be bothered to do a conference call.
    I walked out the room sobbing. I have so much to do that the time spent on that was needed else where.

    anyway. have calmed down now, after calling him every name under the sun, and will be taking my lunch break today to get on with the things I had to cancel last night.

    Some good weekends planned :)

    I don't have any plans tomorrow - I might take the laptop home tonight and have a play about with invitations tomorrow. Sunday I'm going to our wedding venue for afternoon tea with one of my bridesmaids, really looking forward to that. I think OH wants to do the tree this weekend too but I'd rather do it next weekend, so we'll seeee...

    Was the dress news question to me Lindsey?! I emailed the store the other day, they said they'd phoned M0r1 L33 for an update and they asked them to phone back next week after they have had a large shipment. Shouldn't be too long x

    Ohh having so much fun with my car MOT and service today......not.
    I love it when they say "it's passed......but we recommend all this other expensive stuff"

    The had the cheek to phone me back to tell me the car wouldn't start when they went to drive it out of the garage so did a "complimentary" battery check and it's about to die so I absolutely need a new battery. Funny how I've had no issues with the car starting at all before today.....

    Lucky you - quite busy today sorting out problems and the like, so just popped downstairs to our cafe and purchased crisps and now on a guilt trip!!

    Need to find out what time they open actually.

    I think I've given up on work now. I have done that many things today that I feel like I can't think.

    I know it's not healthy but I've not really been feeling hungry during the day. I haven't lost my appetite all together - I feel I could eat, I just don't feel hungry or feel like I fancy anything if that makes sense? Polished off my dinner at Fr@nk13 & B3nnys last night plus a side of fries and then bought a sticky toffee pud and custard from t3sc0 on our way home and demolished the lot of that too lol!
