    Its just work messing me about and stressing me. I don't handle stress very well. They were very rude and sarcastic to me on th phone earlier. And I'm still suspended due to something that's not even my fault, it's my boss's fault for not telling me about it! I've written to her, and she says she has received it and I will get a response in the post tomorrow or Saturday.
    I've had a strawberry cheesecake (a small one, not a huge one!) and DH has come home and plied me with jaffa cakes.
    He's also made me laugh. I'm always on at him to shut cupboard doors, but he never does. He went into the kitchen to put some shopping away (Thursday market bargins) and he opened a cupboard, forgot and then walked into it. Oh the irony of it!

    I feel a bit better now. Going to take it easy this afternoon tho as a bit fragile today.
    Piggers, I thought you were at Crufts today?

    no sweets.. my mother has gone today with my sister.. I get to go saturday and sunday with her and my 2 oldest girls!!

    and BAH!! to work..I'd make the most of my days off and you know you didn't do whatever they are saying you did and that is what is important.. they ahve to follow protocol it isn't a reflection on you and it will all come right in the end. Don't you let them spoil your week!!! ((((hugs))))

    Hi,

    Hope everyone is well & welcome newbies/returners. Congratulations to Sarahshattered & hugs to Rosepink. Here's what I've done today:

    Everything I needed to get done in the master bedroom :j
    Some errands but need to do more
    Some laundry but need to do more

    I still need to wash up as well. How do you put lines through the finished tasks?

    Hello everyone :hello:

    I have decluttered some of my flowers, it looked like a florist's in here :rotfl:
    & done the online banking etc, so at least I feel as if I have done something!

    I have to see my cancer support nurse tomorrow, not really looking forward to that but it gets the ball rolling, other than that I'm feeling quite good as far as the op went, but then DH hasn't let me do a thing :T so I have had a chance to heal.....it will be 3 weeks tomorrow, can't believe where the time goes.

    Rose huge hugs honey, rest & do things when you feel able.

    Toots you are an angel :A thanks for being so thoughtful, they arrived today xx

    HS92836dancingkawaiianimals.gif just loving this smilie Toots! So using it for no reason.

    Been to town, done what I needed to do. Gained an hour - looked at my watch thought it was 2:30 rushed to the car and realised from the car clock that it was only 1:30 so I could get my other bits done.

    Just finishing my cuppa and then I need to go into the loft to look for something.

    Rose hugs for you, please don't waste energy on things out of your control. Thoughts are just that thoughts and you have the power to let them go, replace them with happier ones. If you have sunshine then go outside and get some rays on your face for 15 minutes.

    Lil_me glad DS's review went well

    SS when is DD's birthday - hope the present arrives
