    I did get my letter today from work. It doesn't really say much, just that the team meetings are part of my training and so I need to go to them come what may. And that I'm not suspended, but as am bank staff they don't have to give me any work if they don't want to. It was couched in management speak and put more politely than I've put it. I feel a bit better about it all now and am not going to worry anymore. I've done my best to sort things out, and can't do any more about it, just wait til the next team meeting in April and go to it!
    I am glad you feel happier about it rosepink. Just make sure you keep a copy of everything and diarise (is this a proper word ? lol) if things happen.

    Fed the hoard and have made a chocolate, caramel and hazelnut biscuit to try for later on. Number 1 son did well in the swimming gala so it's been a good day. Night all and hugs to all that need them.

    I totally failed this week.:confused:. I managed most of monday but then it went down hill with a jumble of stuff going on and sons 1st birthday! I can definitly notice the difference in the mess and my mood. Mess equals me being grumpy. It's worth the effort for a happy mood and sitting all contented in my clean house! so. back on track on monday...excuse my ramblings, I'm really telling myself :o

    greenbee I can change it to run as 2003, but then I can't use the equation editor, which I've written it in :( it's a poo face! I'll double check updates but it's on automatic as far as I am aware. Thanks for the reply x
    Nicki well done!!! You've amazed me how well you are dealing with everything and what you have achieved!
    soappie well done for finishing the proposal.
    Penny pleased to hear the medications helped you get some good sleep!
    serena hope your DD is feeling better soon
    hootsiebootsie hope you and your children are better soon
    Triker hope you are having a great evening, well done with the text haha bet she loved it really!
    Quillion, cream cleaner like Ajax/Jiff stuff would probably work but abrasive. I used on the door/frame a 'black streak remover' for caravans last time, it worked really well. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=88348 post on it on here
    Dusty big hugs for you and the boys, DP too for having to deal with the poorly birthday boy
    JennyBee pleased to hear LO is better, Infacol is good and the best part is simethicone being inert it's not absorbed by the body so guilt free help.

    I must write on my calendar 12th March to do gas meter read as that's when it switches to BG! Yay, it's eventually being done!!

    Spends for today, pet food which I needed and sandwich stuff for tomorrow which I needed. Pot of traditional lemon curd I didn't really need :o oh and some duck eggs which I didn't need but will be amazing as a treat for breakfast tomorrow :D sorry but I think I deserve it :p No wasting today :D

    Yay!!!! DP put the Xmas decorations bag in the loft while I was at my tutorial :D it was becoming a hazard, at the top of the stairs.....

    Must go, parent in crisis............maybe not such a quiet Sunday.....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Looks like I'm first up - most unusual!

    Didn't sleep to great fretting about Nan. Just going to have a cuppa and read yesterday's paper then the kitchen needs yet another rescue.

    Morning Dusty

    I'm up as well - just doing a bit of catching up on the thread. Considering whether to put a dvd on and start ironing but DS has just got up and is not very pleased with my choice of film!

    Lots of other things need doing as well though.

    Moring JJ want a cuppa?

    DS2 has just come down too, it's too early in the day for me to iron.
