Its a small office of about 20, there were 6 of us when I started and only 1 person has been there longer than me. I have worked there almost 12 years - they didn't even get me a card :mad: The office manager (who started 2 months after me and who is a good friend -so I thought - who went to Uni with my husband - didnt even get up to say goodbye). Has made me realise I am better off out of it and I have no regrets about leaving.

What a bunch of charmers! Dont look back luv, you've done the right thing xx

Also managed TD x1, WM x1, sorted clothes and put away, fed animals, walked dog. (Think will create a list of dailies to add to each post)

Just to let you know that I took DS to hospital, they decided not to xray as he told them it did not hurt but then over lunch he says 'My eye hurts' so I asked why he did not tell the doctor and he said 'well he didn't ask about that bit!!' (Doctor had been applying pressure all over cheek etc.
This what happened with my daughter, she told the nurse it didn't hurt so no xray, 2 weeks later I took her back because it was hurting and she had brokwn it!!!
DS has drops for eye as developed an infection already possibly caused by the dirty frozen ice.

Back to normal tomorrow but will have to go to work early to try and make up some time for having today off
