    Ahemm, I think the saying 'do as I say and not as I do' comes to mind.

    I have come into work and I am quite depressed. I have txted a work colleague to tell her that I am going to hand my notice in:eek: . Bit of a spur of the minute decision but she is coming over later to talk it over with me. I hope she doesn't try to talk me out of it. I think I need to quit just for the sake of my sanity... I hate it here and really only carry on coming in to work for the experience and the other girls who are lovely... BUT I know they have had to pick up some carp while I have been off poorly and it isn't fair on them.

    I am under loads of pressure today to get my work done and I have very little time to sort my home life out. With OH working away all week and with three children and studying it is all becoming a little bit overwhelming....in fact I started blubbing all over a tax return this morning (noone noticed - which is good cos a little sympathy would have sent me even worse).

    Sorry I kind of rambled on a bit there......

    You did consider quitting a few weeks ago if I remember correctly and decided against. What brought on the change of heart? What will it mean for exams? Presumably you are self funded or will you need to pay the firm back.

    Hope it works out for you whatever happens :grouphug:

    But you're a day late for big news day - that was yesterday:p

    Thanks guys. I wanted something pretty and fell in love with the necklace, then saw the earrings for an amazing price too so thought heck I'll buy myself the earrings too.

    I've got boxes of Hot Diamonds and other jewllery stuff that my exOH gave me (he worked on the basis of gifts over quality time - wonder where that relationship went wrong...:p ) I still love the stuff aesthetically (Gemmzie that is a gorgeous set) but can't even consider wearing it because of the association with him... I really should sell the bloody stuff or get it cleaned and give it away as Xmas presents (I am a packaging hoarder...)

    Afternoon all, busy day here so far

    Gemmzie that necklace/earings are lovely you lucky girl!

    I'm more excited about going to see the girls than my brother, which is baaaad!

    Maz I would be the same...visting reletives has its place but can be boring...a night out with the girlies...far more fun ;)
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...
