    Life is interesting.

    Fighting a battle at work to keep my mileage allowance. They want to take off my journey to work (80 mile round trip) which basically means doing business miles whilst claiming no business miles (all my sites are closer than the office) and at the end of the year losing the allowance. I am going to put something forward next week about the gaps in the policy and lack of fairness. I have no great hope. I will end up working from home more time than I want to and probably looking for a new job.

    Have just booked 5 nights away after Christmas to see my friend from university. That should be a tonic.

    Also on the spendy front I will be starting my therapy sessions. They look hard but good. Can't keep running away! They are £50 a session so I hope she's as good as she appears!

    Eek to the mileage.
    Break sounds a tonic indeed.
    Hope the therapy sessions are just what you need.
    Take care of you.

    The great hope comes when they realise they're haemorrhaging staff. Usually takes time alas - far too many senior management are not the sharpest oranges in the fruitbowl...

    If not, then you can find someone who is.

    Yep..she was very good.

    And we are galvanising at work. Some people are applying the rule literally which will really highlight issues......and possibly introduce some waste products to an air circulator.

    You know as though the new rules are ill-considered or something...

    And then you get your Management saying "need to be sensible" "need to use judgement" "need to show flexibility" - which is all code for "Please don't ream us a new one with our own stupid rules..."

    Okay so who knew all over itching was a peri - menopausal symptom.

    I have found this one out at the cinema this evening. Have tried to sit through a 2 hour film without scratching continually. Not easy!

    Are you sure it's that?

    They're not called flea pits for nothing.
