I have weird, patchy and BAD sunburn
We fell asleep under the coconut trees, with my arm over part of my face

I'm now scaly and peeling in stylish manner. Think red lizard skin

Thanks for the warm welcome

thanks for the support guys!

I'm not worried about her being scary as such, just whether i can hold it together emotionally!

Big G said, be focused and talk about things in a business kinda way, stay detached....

a colleague here has given me some buzzwords to drop into the conversation, might show that i ain't no numpty... social inclusion, promoting positive behaviour, zero tolerance etc etc.

I wore a smart blouse and trousers today so intend to look smart too, want her to know i'm no country bumpkin, unlike most of the mums at this place...!

Ames

Hello all. Today's been a good one here, OH has finally given me control of the food shopping. So a new era of cooking from scratch has dawned! I bought a £9 meat pack from a butcher's at the market, which'll easily last a couple of weeks, and did a biggish asda shop. It'll probably work out a bit more expensive than the previous value range ready meals, but it'll be a lot better in other ways. And I've finally got myself into gear and called the local hairdressing college. Where I lived before cuts at the college were about £15 (five years ago). So I was very pleased to find out that here they're between £4 and £6. So I'm booked in for Friday.

A downside was the the doctors had yet again lost my repeat prescription request, which I handed in over a week ago. That's the second time in a few months. I get my scripts weekly so there's a higher chance of something going wrong, but it's a bit much I think. Luckily there was a doctor in reception so they just printed one off and he signed it, but if there hadn't been I might not have had my meds, which wouldn't have been good.

Good luck Maz!

Hi everyone, just a quick pop in to say hello before I go back to work.

Sounds like you have had a good day Ames but :rolleyes: to the Doctors surgery...OH once picked up a prescription that had his name on it but someone at a different address, totally wrong tablets.

Nice to see you back OliveOyl........I was chatting away to another oliveoyl on another tread when she kindly pointed out she had no idea who I was.....glad I didnt mention the lego:eek: :rotfl:

Back feels a bit more comfortable now the anti inflammatories are starting to work.

I had couscous and some flapjack and custard for lunch...bloody lovely:D

I'm back from my all dayer. Well, it was all rather interesting, I did get a bit concerned at the 'round the table' bit and I said I was 'Management Support' and they were all managers, but then I realised that none of them have done what I've done (ie PR, Marketing, re-branding, future planning etc) so I just kept opening my mouth and spouting waffle! :rotfl: Fab lunch (good choice by however picked the menu ) and we did some personality test stuff in the morning and I found out that I have really changed. I did a very similar thing about 14 years ago and came out very a kind, caring, considerate listener, but the extreme of that would be not assertive, afraid to rock the boat and a doormat. Ihad tiny bits of 'red' which were leader skills.

I came out a leader this time!!! Myhead of service said 'ooh, Keren, we really aren't tapping into the qualities we have to offer, are we'. I thought - yep, for me, this is what it was all about today.

Shows I'm much more assertive and able to stand up for myself and to be honest that is a result of coming out of the other side of the carp with Cruella as I was quite meek and mild before hand assertiveness wise.

So some good seems to have come of it all!
