    You can still send messages can't you? Though I think that gives them access to your (limited) profile so maybe not a good idea. Shall we do some voodoo :cool:

    I wish I could come and visit you, Bun :(

    I feel like shhit to be honest. But I hate taking time off as they make you jump through hoops for it - I will have to fill in a form explaining why I was off and detailing whether I took medical advice etc, THEN have an 'interview' about it. Am feeling very stressed about work and doubting putting DS in nursery and just generally feeling crap about it. But when I collected him today he was chasing bubbles and was so happy. Money, though... god it's crap isn't it.

    Anyway, enough moaning from me. At least I have not turned to food! Going to watch a DVD when OH has finished playing with MY ipod :rolleyes:

    I am working my back up the thread so bunny I am getting to you in a minute....

    DD - I was ill last week and really struggled into work. I was quite ill but put work before myself.

    Yesterday a client emailed me with a complaint and cc'd the boss...okay i cocked up - hands up BUT - my work gets checked before it goes out and it obviously got passed quality control... the mistakes were minor but shows a lack of care to the client. I rang the client and apologised, but I was hauled over the coals for it today. I told work - very sorry and I have learnt my lesson - next time I am ill I will not compromise my work and will stay well ffing away!!

    Learn from my mistakes DD - if you are ill stay at home...

    Went to my book club but no one else turned up. And I forgot to ask for decaf coffee so I'm going to be bouncing off the ceiling all night!

    Sammy, I had a blip today too - bought a bun at book club and had cream on my coffee. But tomorrow's a new day and all that.

    What book were you reading Ames, maybe we could have the book club on here...:p

    It was Human Croquet by Kate Atkinson, which I didn't enjoy at all.

    Well Samantha, I have booked a flight to fly home Thu morning, and fly back Mon evening. I amn driving up to Bristol, leaving car parked. But my plans have changed, I am now still flying out Thu but do not have to fly back until 25 Jan. This means changing my return flight and of course extending my car park stay which of course means more money and I dont know what to do. Help
