    Hi all!

    Hopefully everyone is okay - I've not had time to do more than skim the thread...

    I've had one member of my team say they will quit if I don't get the supervisor's role :eek: So there is no pressure then :rotfl:

    I don't know what to do - I do realise that the person "acting" in the role is de-motivating the entire team but can I say that..? Given that it *could* look like I've engineered it...? I have an interview for the role (it's a two horse race) me and the girl who already does the job. How on Earth can I pull it off?

    Edited to say - under nornal circumstances I also really like the girl who has been given the role (without pay or recognition) but she isn't any good at it...

    Well done to all those celebrating GCSE

    Yes the benefits system is a pain in the a!!e, I'm sure it will be sorted so enough but in the meantime things are very tight. Our shopping this week had to be under £25, luckily with Mr T's value items and reduced price and various offers we did it for £22.17....

    Havent done a great deal today seem to be lacking in motivation.

    Redruby, threading is like plucking, but it's done with thread that is twisted and it pulls out a few hairs at a time.
    I think it's done in the middle east. :confused:
    Whilst there was redness, my eyes look normal now :rotfl: I feel it's kinder to the skin than waxing.

    I seem to be getting later and later and will probably forget everything I wanted to say!

    Hope that you've had a lovely day Catznine:bdaycake:

    Congratulations to all the celebrating GCSEers!

    Pink1970....sounds disgraceful that you are being left so badly off with no explanation.

    Hester....wear your intended outfit...things are coming to a pretty pass when people try to dictate what you wear to a christening...what are they on with 3 children and 3 different 'faiths'...that's going to be fun in later life, least of all for the children!

    troo....lovely picture

    rchhdap....great news about Lily

    meli...welcome back, try to stay with us, this can be a wonderful anti-depressant!

    old mcDonald...sorry to hear of your flooding, but happy to hear that it is all now sorted.

    Haven't seem Mamma Mia yet...can we find a central location and all go together??

    Good luck to all who are job seeking...there is something out there for each of you I am sure.

    Sybil....sounds as if you all need a chill out time to get yourselves back on track...worrying is not the way to go

    Hugs to all not mentioned but in need or want of one...getting forgetful in my old age and I refuse to take notes as I think that would make me worse!

    Sleep well

  • Evening everyone, sorry I haven't been about for a couple of days. ((((Hugs)))) to those that need them and congrats to Miss Squiggly, Miss Twit and Master Tap :jWell done!

    Catznine, hope your birthday has been a good one!
    Pink, the lack of motivation is likely to be money-related stress - I can empathise completely on your situation, hope it's soon sorted!
    Betheebee, thanks for the good wishes about my wrist, it's fine today :)
    :hello:to Dazi, thanks for writing on my wall - facebook is still somewhat alien territory, funny as I've been using the internet almost since its inception ;)

    I'm sorry not to mention everyone by name, I'm completely shattered tonight. After Tuesday's fiascos I was out most of yesterday collecting a keyboard (music) for DH from Surrey and today I went to the coast for the day, courtesy of a friend who knows how hard things are money-wise at the moment, so she treated me. I still have some pennies left so I'm going to go into London next week and visit a museum or two.

    I think I need my bed. Night all! ((((hugs))))

    am now off to sleep...!!!
