    ... have done my homework for tomorrow, and sorted out directions... Self evaluation form nearly ready to send off for review prior to governors meeting (have any of you done one of these... andy suggestions would be appreciated!). Now trying to sort out expenses, but I seem to have lost a whole lot of receipts! Oops... they include an £18 taxi fare and a couple of train fares, so I'm not amused...

    Checked the amazon wish list...then compared prices on HMV through quidco...result sis's pressie ordered through quidco while her darling hubby has his ordered through Amazon (he don't speak to me..I did something to upset him but since he won't tell me what...he did suggest I could drive down there to be told...I suggested I wouldn't...what I thought it was it isn't apparently. Well I have ways of dealing with men who I don't get along with - I divorce 'em...) Life's too short and I don't care!

    Put that paranoia behind you Boddy - it ain't doing you any good! Have you ever thought your boss suggested it because you were the best woman for the job??? And enjoy the extra money and the sky TV!

    Toots and Soappie. The clients there are not aggressive. They just have different issues. It will take some getting used to as they tell you to sit down and make you coffee. When I finished the shift I did there the clients said they would ask for me again. They also told me that they watch a film in the afternoon and Im to watch it with them. I do know Im going to a pantomime with them.

    I think it will give me a break from the stress at my normal place of work.
