    Was playing Rapid bingo, was fun but bit peeved at myself now.

    I am sitting here staring at Dooyoo again, only 6 weeks until christmas now need to get them vouchers in! Doubt i will do any tonight though, i have been really lazy this week with earning extra money, no motivation to do anything but thats in my whole life too tbh.

    I work as a fleet adminstrator for a company that deals with other companies cars fleet management.

    She was the receptionist, had only been with us 4 months and had a warning at her 3 month review, my company is very small and are very picky about who they have.

    I feel so bad for her, trying to find her number so i can text her, shes had a real crap time this year, lost her home to repossession, is in loads of debt, her 1.5yr old son is always ill and now this :(

    Just hoping i don't lose my job! Been there 4.5yrs now, god i would be devastated if i lost my job just as i am getting on track!
