    Thanks ladies. And I sure will do Emm.

    Get a bit of a lie in tomorrow - result! Going to pick my colleague up from the station, she doesn't get in til 9.15 so instead of going to the office first for 8.30 I'm going to leave for the station straight from home. Means I can leave about an hour later than usual :)

    Wide awake, with a snoring husband. It's not his fault, he's really bunged up, but still annoying. I woke up as normal needed a drink, and with my leg just starting to cramp, and now I'm wide awake, despite being really tired. I think I'm going to struggle tomorrow.

    Morning ladies, just thought I'd pop on and tie up a few loose ends before I leave for the train station. Should be a good day today... got my colleague down from London, colleague down from Scotland and having my appraisal with my boss. Enough to keep my mind busy and stop me thinking so much about seeing my dad tonight and probably getting an ear full about the uncle situation!!!!

    Morning all, Struggled to get out of bed this morning. I was having a lovely dream that I could swim underwater without needing to breath and was right close to the coral reefs and the fish didn't mind me being there at all :) Felt like Ariel!

    In work and emails aren't looking too bad. I did clean most up on Monday morning which helped.

    I really struggled to get going today. I've been doing various small jobs, repairing books and processing a new book, and dealing with some requests for play scripts for hire. I've got a couple of journals to sort out as well, as the lady who normally does them is signed off for two weeks following complications with cataract surgery.

    Hope the appraisal went well Flossie and you got some good news re a pay increase :-)

    Raining all day here today and everybody is dropping like flies.

    Not having a great day my old team are still accusing me of vicitimisation after a meeting today with their new line manager. It's on the back of changes we're doing rather than going via a consultation. We checked it all out with HR beforehand. Just makes me so grrr as not worked there now since last May and if anything I was the one being bullied. Hated it there and I am still struggling to get my self-confidence back.

    Ended up having some of my sandwich but only half. Will save the rest until tomorrow.

    Had a bitty day today keep flitting in and out of things. Not 100% sure what has been accomplished but made good progress on a few things.
    Interesting - my boss has had his authority changed and can no longer approve credit notes. Think its odd as he has been replaced with another director who approves some other credits for me. They are both meant to be the same level so cant help but think that there's something fishy going on.

    Lindsey that's horrible. Surely if you have checked it with HR then they will support you? does HR know that's why you left that job?

    Hey ladies, have had my review. It was very good as expected! Boss said some very nice things and said going forward he sees me and one of my colleagues in Scotland as the "main" people of the team, those he trusts the most and can rely on the most to do a good job. I discussed pay and he said he has put me forward to the Director for the maximum pay rise of whatever they are offering - which may be 10% or so, but he said he will find out the figure and let me know and then we can discuss it. I said I wasn't really happy about being on the same salary now that the new member of my team has come straight in on when it's taken me 3 years to work up to that amount... he agreed it was unfair and said there will be a clear gap in terms of our salaries going forward. :)

    That's fantastic news Flossie :-D Celebrations tonight or this weekend with a bottle of bubbly!!

    I haven't actually left the job Emily - I was covering two sites and covering for my counterpart who went on a secondment. I've ended up taking her old site on permanently. So I am still doing the same job, but line managing a different team who are great. I hate going over to the other site as hate bumping into these two ladies. They destroyed my confidence and told me I was useless at my job. They never stopped whinging and everything was negative with them. I know the new manager struggles with them, but I just want to be rid of them for good without all of this now going on!

    HI All

    Not been on here for a while, Now back at work so have time to pop in to see how you are all doing. Had another fantastic time off as per usual.
    J driving me nuts got a job offer with a company, they got in touch with me a little while back but as it was self employed I put them off till April. They have now come back to me with a guaranteed wage which I asked for plus commission. Self employed still with a look at a permanent contract if they are happy with everything. J wants me to wait a while as I have asked them to e mail all details of the job, Know I can do it and know it will be hard work! Just want to say I am doing it and quit the job that I have. Know I am being impatient and I do have a tendency to jump in at times. J worked in the same job for 32 years and said he isn't as brave as me. I just want to be home all the time and not have to leave him every 2 weeks, driving me nuts. Sorry rant over. lol!

    Enjoy your evening Ladies xx

    Good news Flossie well done :)

    Been a long day for me. As usual I struggled to sleep as my brain keeps me awake when I have a long drive the next morning - I think it's anxiety of the drive and possibility of another crash Urgh.

    Anyway left the house in plenty of time to get to edinburgh but then hit 1 hour traffic delays around Newcastle thanks to the horrendous roadworks there. Cleared that and got on the 697 and I should have taken a boat now a car! My good old little Leon battled the flood waters really well, at times it was up just above the bottom the doors but I just made sure the car in front had cleared the flood first and then I would go through at a steady pace with plenty of revs on to keep the water out my engine.

    There was plenty of vehicle casualties dotted on the roads lorries and vans so was quite impressed with my little car!

    Regional meeting went pretty well but then at 515 when the meeting had finished and I was due to go to my hotel I get a call from another manager about a location in Wales that had a customer needing an adblue top up that the @@ hadn't done properly and the station they went to had no adblue and reckoned they had no access to cash to buy them some basically meaning they weren't going to help and it was for me to deal with hundreds of miles away. I was with the airport manager of the location who rented the car so I made him ring them and arrange to go out with some tomrrow to top it up which will be a 4 hour round trip for them,

    They do my head in my job isn't to resolve their problems when they rent something they shouldn't. Gr

    She's a cutie Em.

    Well I've had a sh!t night....fell out with OH. His sister text me but before I got chance to reply he did. I tried to grab my phone off him messing about as there is photos off things for his grooms box on it I didn't want him to see. He went too far and squeezed my hand so tightly it made me cry and I've still got a red mark. He then asked if I was messaging someone else and that's why I didn't want him to see my phone. I went mad and said I'm getting you something for the morning of the wedding. Thanks for ruining the surprise!!

    As if that wasn't enough I put LO in the bath then took him on to the front room to get him dry and he bit my arm that hard I couldn't breathe it hurt me so much. Teeth in to skin and biting hard! So I went in the bedroom and cried and been peed off ever since. Bedtime I think

    Oh dear Michelle... How awful!! Bloody men don't realise their strength sometimes and messing about or not, he shouldn't have squeezed that hard.

    My LO only ever bit me once and my voice turned so stern, I have to admit, I scared myself... He's never done it since.

    Does your LO normally bite?? That's not nice of him... I hope he's truely sorry for hurting his mummy

    It really hurt. Got teeth marks still and bruises where he did it. He got told off and he said sorry

    He went through a phase last year of biting but thought he'd stopped as not done it for ages....I wasn't happy

    Still not had a sorry from OH but he gave me a hug and kiss goodnight

    Evening all- had a poo day :( had my band account wiped out! Luckily bank know where it's been spent, in a tv shop of a 2.5k tv..,!

    Clearly they understand I was at work and not in Nottingham or wherever so are refunding it but may take a few days and Any charges I get of dds go out they will pay for and I won't be charged- such a hassle that I didn't need

    Had a really stressful day at work, completely shattered and then came home to find bank empty- I rung my dad and just sobbed my heart out as OH was at a late meeting

    Off to bed- think I will sleep well xx

    Michelle, you'll feel better after having your hair done, it's always nice to have some pamper time xx
