    Hi Shoe Gal... Sounds like you've had quite a productive day and the plans for the week are looking good :beer:

    I love the shoes.. I couldn't wear them to save my life but jeez they're gorgeous!

    I hope work is better for you this week! Just keep thinking of that holiday.

    Don't know what to say, I'm in a similar situation, not quite as bad I don't think, but I can see it getting really bad over the next couple of months. It's sooo frustrating. Hang in there

    Thanks Gwen :A

    At least I am off to Spain next week - but stupidly I dread what I will come back to :mad:

    Yay, Spain :j

    That's the worst though, thinking about work when you're on holiday. I know it's hard, please try not to though. When I had a week off (at about the same time as you I think :D) I found myself wondering what on earth I'd go back to. I was pleasantly surprised though that it wasn't too bad, but don't waste a second of your holidays thinking about it. Holidays are too precious to be wasted thinking about work!

    Good advice, I know. Am sure I'll be fine when I get there, am quite good at switching off :D It's more the thought of everything I have to get done before I go :eek:

    Yeah, I can imagine. Is it this weekend you go? If so, I'd be tempted to just walk out of the door at 5pm (or whatever normal finishing time is) and s0d it. You've made your boss aware there is an issue, he isn't really doing much about it and holidays are precious.
