  • Head hurts I really tired.

    Review went well should get a payrise and the bonus although neither will be big they are better than alot of people will get so Im grateful. Work overall satisfactory excelling in areas but struggling in others. Should be due for promotion this year but think that will be the latter half of the year.

    Thanks for your good wishes

  • Hi :wave:

    Well I felt rotten this morning and couldnt face going to work so I rang and postponed the visit to next week and planned to go to the office so at least some work done.

    Problem was boss still there and said I should have called someone else before I move things so I just walked out and kept walking till I got home (Car just dropped off for some work near office).

    Decided to go to doctors (appointment tomorrow morning) and ask for tests just to see if there is anything underlying my lack of energy other than stress and depression. Told boss Im taking a week off and will see the Doc. I dont think he gets that I think I may be signed off longer. I really need a break, itll ruin work prospects but who cares and full on breakdown at work would be worse. I get sick pay so not worries there. I might have my payrise quickly amended but I just dont care right now.

    OH has been good. Took me to see Mum whos been moved to the main hospital 25 miled away. I have been too tired and streesed to visit so feeling bad about that.

    £26 / 40 OH but hes off to driving range so prob another £10 there.
    £16/50 kids still got £5 for guides trip to pay and £8 school trip = 29/50 - may take kids to play area with excess as they need it and stopped the last one due to WM. Lets see how they behave :D ??
    £239.54 / £250 Groceries - those take aways have added up :o . Should be ok till Sun. Next month a five week month so £300 budget.
    £66/120 year clothes somehow a £10 bargain debenhams top has appeared ;)
