    :mad: Why does nothing go to plan?!:mad: I had a phone call to ask why one of my team had no end of year grades... well that would be because she started with me on Jan 2nd!

    Anyway, it turns out that she hasn't had a review since MAY! And grades need to go into the system today in order to be accepted for pay review... when I spoke to her previous boss he said HR told him I would do her review... which means he didn't ask about it until after Christmas, and they were due to be completed and submitted for calibration by Dec 24th... so now I have to give someone a rating for a year in which they didn't work for me :mad:

    AnW'sMum - Will a yellow hi-vis do on Thursday? - will be thinking of you and the kids
    Johanne - good luck vibes on way for OH + promotion
    Kaz - love the idea of your guerilla gardening - my neighbour planted a host of daffs on the green in front of our house and they always make you glad (PS think your vicar is a grump for objecting)

    Hi-vis is ideal :D You could guarantee if he was looking for a new coat he would gravitate to the yellow ones :rotfl: plus he had to wear hi-vis as part of his uniform.

    Kaz it sounds very harsh of your vicar, what could be offensive about daffodils????

    V jelaous of your snow toots, I love it as well and can't remember the last time we had any decent amount, that being more than a dusting. W thinks a hard frost is snow :(

    Better get some work done.

  • oh gross - have just braved moving and hoovering under my bed :eek:

    but it is now clean and paintwork washed etc - bit of an odd limbo dance needed to move the bed around enough to get at the underneath - good for me stretchingwise as well!

    quick coffee and on with the list for today...

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • Welcome back jane 130 - I have sent you a pm!

    thats great news that DH has got a new job - hope it goes well for him - dont you be getting stressed about the bedroom - just do a little bit - dont try to de-clutter the whole lot - stand at the door and close your eyes fro a few seconds - open them and what is the first thing that you see that annoys you - just one thing/part - and do that and then repeat as required - make it your task for a week - not a day!

    toots xx

    ETA
    ebay parcel is wrapped
    DW filled and on
    off to have soup then go do my errands
    was only a little snow shower and is already melting!! boohoo!
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Morning All

    Tried posting last night, but site was down for maintenance - so my post vanished into the ether - is there a way of getting it back when that happens?

    Promised myself I wouldn't come on here today till I got all my business stuff done - AND IT IS! (I've been putting it in a drawer since before Xmas, and it wasn't good)!

    So, this morning, I have:
    Paid Payroll Costs Dec 08
    Run Payroll Jan 09
    VAT return
    Expenses DP/JP
    Input all data
    Paid all o/s bills
    Made opticians appt (sure I'm going blind)
    Ordered repeat prescription

    However, I am still in my nightie!

    AnWsMum - I haven't got anything yellow, but I will wear my yellow marigolds on Thursday:rotfl:

    Flower - please can I go on the map - nr Eccleshall, Staffordshire

    Off to find todays list...
