    Hi Kt:hello:

    Sorry not posted for a while, I have promised myself I will post on your's and Piq's diaries more often!

    I want to tell you something I hope you will be pleased with...I have done two things off my "list to do before I'm 30":j I bought a book two xmas's ago called "2007 days out" and for ages had wanted to list all the places I want to visit in my area and the surrounding counties...done it now! Of course, now I actually have to go to them but still, it's a start!

    The other thing is getting my teeth whitened! :o Went to the dentist the other day and they are doing it at a very reasonable rate. Told mum about it and she has said she will pay for me to have it done in March as a birthday present! :j Very lucky I know and will make me feel extra confident for the wedding!

    Anyway, enough about me, how are you?

    Hiya,

    I got my teeth whitened for my wedding day and so did OH. It definitely made me feel more confident as my teeth are a bit uneven and it defo made the wedding photos look way nicer.

    This has to be very very quick.

    I won't be able to get on here much during the day any more, all my updates will have to be evening as I have not been getting the best of reputations internet usage wise.

    I had a big work night out and someone mentioned it. I got upset and angry as the person in question is as bad as me or worse (well, was before she went off on maternty leave) Also, while she was pregnant I was doing both my job and hers and was working every weekend of overtime so implying I like a skive was unfair to say the least.

    I've decided that I should try to not come on during the day, not even on my breaks (which is what I used to do) as people obviously can't tell the difference.

    I'm upset, annoyed and will write more when I am not being watched and judged.

    KT.

    Hiya,

    Sounds like that woman was being a bit of a s*** stirrer before she went off on maternity leave. Sorry to hear that you are feeling that way. I always read your diary and Piq's as well, even if I don't post that often.

    KT, thats really bad! Sorry that this has happened - loads of people come on here in their breaks, I can tell from your posting pattern you're not on here by the minute.

    Good luck - but *do* keep posting.

    Its a shame that there is no way for them to tell when you are on your breaks and when its work time, then you would be able to point it out to them! However i suppose some work places may not even like it if you use their facilities regardless of when you are on your break or not:confused:

    I personally wouldn't know as i don't work in office type jobs, however i once worked in a care home on twelve and fourteen hour days where we would get docked for an hour's lunch even though we never took lunch and they wouldn't let us have a meal either, but we were not allowed to leave the building either:rolleyes:

    That's tough KT, some people are mean spirited. It'll be a shame not to see you on here during the day, but will look forward to seeing you in the evening (((hugs)))

    ...I didn't even get into work today, they should be glad you're there!

    thanks everyone for your comments.

    I will hopefully get online tonight. I have a VERY busy paperwork night ahead of me though...

    I have a few updates.

    All will be revealed!

    I just wanted to reassure people I haven't disappeared (while hiding my screen hoping nobody will see!)

    I'm missing you all during the day already!
