SNOW :j :j :j :j :j :j :j and our snow things even melted from last time.
A girl on my team had her LB moment on Monday - unfortunately rather loudly on the phone in the middle of the office, the entire office now knows she is poss to be evicted, hasnt paid nursery fees so no childminder, and is also pregnant with 2nd baby and no partner. She also earns too much to qualify for any support.
I carefully directed her to various support sites without giving too much away, inc MSE, but the worst thing she could have done is say out loudly that no nursery means she cant come to work and then go to dr's and get signed off with RSI type wrist pain - the manager's all know what she has been saying - people in the next town could have heard it :doh:
It was awful to watch as I have been there with the LB moment and I never want to go back there again. Hopefully she will find the support she needs.

Welll what a fab weekend, really lovely, chilled and fun. DS had a sleepover at a friends - why do they call it sleep over, he was soooo tired yesterday!
We also went to the circus, just a travelling one, but great fun, some amzing acts and funny animals. DS is still asleep now.
