    You all sound really adventurous with food; I'm such a boring bland eater! I practically live off plain pasta and rice with a tomato based sauce h2b puts up but only because he knows I'm a fussy eater!!

    Although my uncle makes the most Devine pork peeble ... I don't even like pork but last nye we went down town then to their house and when we walked in the smell was mouthwatering!! When I asked what it was and they said pork I was so dissappointed and said I didn't think I'd like it with it being pork but they encouraged me to try some on a ciabatta roll and it tasted as good as it looked! Although I still don't like pork without the sauce. I'd love to be able to be a culinary mastermind like my uncle but the ingredients in it alone are bizarre!

    You may go home to a rather frustrating letter .. I just got one saying that the account fee is changing from &2 to £5 per month so they can maintain our benefits because the savings rate has been low and maintained low for too long .. Think I'm going to change all our household bills and direct debits from my joint account to my personal one so I still see the benefit!

    I got the letter last week I will defo not be staying with them as £5 is way too much I don't have any of the bills out of my account to benefit from it fully so at the moment im getting interest back but not that much xx

    I get about £20 interest a month so it's still worth it for me but I'm definitely thinking of just merging the joint account with all the household bills and direct debits into my personal account and just get oh to pay me half the bills .. I earn more than him too so it's only fair that I just treat my money as partially his I guess for home improvements as we're looking to put the house on the market asap as its fully renovated and the pup needs a garden desperately. Tried to leave my mums yesterday and pup ran in the garden with a ball and refused to leave until id played with him for another 45 minutes even though he'd already played fetch in the garden for about 2 hours earlier!

    It's such a drastic change from £2 to £5 a little bit naughty I thought! Have it low to entice everyone to switch then when you have biggest market share whack the cost up. Tut tut

    I don't think he's trying to wind me up, he captioned it "wish you were here :(". He said he's not feeling 100% today either though and it is his day off so I can't moan really as that's exactly what I'd be doing haha.

    Really annoyed! in my works its always been pretty laid back but one of the bosses has off days when he picks on anything and anyone so today its me! Hes spoken to my supervisor saying hes not happy people come and talk to me! how is this my fault and most of the time it is work related but were all human at the end of the day and a chat for a few mins is not exactly a crime! what annoyed me more is hes said I seen Sarah use her phone out of her drawer when you were on holiday! My supervisor was away in July and he mentions this now! I never used my phone out of my desk drawer but if he thought I did why didn't he confront me then! seriously annoyed now at the pettiness of it! xx

    That sounds very petty Sarah, sounds like he has a bee in his bonnet about something. Maybe jealous that you're popular within the office and that people actually want to speak to you! As long as you get your job done I really don't see the problem xx

    My mums said she has someone that is taking her outfit shopping so I was like oh well fine!!

    Ignore them Sarah like they say it's probably just office politics pain in the bum!

    Hr have got arsey with me threatening disciplinary action because my partner who is a vehicle technician had the car plugged in to a diagnostic computer before it went to the dealership after the crash .. I told them I want even aware it was done until after the dealership rang to tell me there were no faults and that's when my partner was livid because he had a diagnositics print out saying otherwise proving the car had caused the accident. I told them I knew it wasn't policy and I told him off for it but I can absolutely see where he's coming from when I'd taken the car to three different dealerships at least 6 times to be told the car was fine when me and oh knew there was a fault and I said to the dealership I was scared to drive the car in its condition because I was nervous it would cause a crash and a few months down the line hey presto. My boss has basically told them to get off my back but it doesn't make me want to go back when they're looking for any which way to get me into trouble for an accident caused by their faulty car that has left me unable to work and stressed that I can't run or do anything. Grrr; how hr live with themselves sometimes I don't know

    I know .. They'll claim they didn't know but because it's a lease car the lease company is advised every time the car goes into a garage and the reason for that so the lease company is also well aware of the issues. The dealership have basically said that the fault codes my partner found have nothing to do with the accident (so why delete them and say they didn't find any) plus my partner has spoken to many master techs about the codes and said they would absolutely have caused the crash and the dealership also say the diagnostic can't stand because it's not done on the car branded computer but it was done on a sister brands computer which is exactly the same so they're just wriggling out of everything .. Then once the car was repaired they made my engineer drive it for two weeks (1000 miles) and because it didn't do it again in that period they say there's no faults on it .. Wth I did 27,000 miles in it so it's not going to do it in 1000! Arghh. At least I have a different car now and don't have to drive that one but the new one came to me with a warning light on the dash saying 'starter system failure' which the garage deemed unroadworthy and the near side headlight out! I couldn't believe it

    I've had it repaired at the dealership now so it should be ok now; it's just annoying that they don't give the cars a safety check before handing them over and frankly I can't believe some poor soul has to get the one I had before that caused the crash. Can't wait to testify against them in court if it does it again; I've told them I don't want to know who has it because I'll worry about them every single day.. All it takes is for a lorry to hit it next time and they might not live to tell the tale... I'm disgusted in it all as are many people tbh but what more can I do!

    I've just had enough .. I don't even know what with anymore. I thought I was angry with the dealership for lying .. Which they're also in the news for at the moment so everytime I hear the radio Having discussions with other people who have had problems I really have to bite my tongue not to dial in and fmil says the same. But now I'm really disappointed in my company and I'm really considering whether I actually want to go back because they don't honour the well being of their staff.

    I just need to get better and forget about the silly car and see whether I feel any better towards my company or not and if not I'll have to begin the job search .. My dream job was always to be in the police but I think that now that I have back problems in my medical history I can kiss that goodbye too silly how one cold what seems like a normal morning everything can change within the space of 10 seconds jus about!
