    Afternoon all

    LL my biggest biggest hugs for you. I'm so sorry there is no cure but I know you won't give up and I hope you have many many stable days to enjoy your kittens.

    Michelle - hugs for you. Is/was your school in special measures? The pupils sound very challenging. Could you change to a different school? Life is too short to be miserable and your boys will be little for such a short time (turst me I can't beleive DS1 is doing GCSEs).

    Soappie good news on the book/uni

    It is just too hot now. I have nothing planned for dinner and tummies will be rumbling very soon!

    well haven't got much done of my list but now have half the kitchen removed :eek:

    Question for everyoneI bought a lemon meringue pie (pre-made not very MSE I know)in Tesco and was meant to put it in the fridge but put it in the freezer by mistake.

    Will it be alright to eat? really fancy it

    I would have thought it would be ok Mumofjusttwo. Does it say anything on the packaging about freezing? Sometimes it might say suitable for freezing or something like that
    If it was me, I would eat it. So if you don't want to risk it send it to me!

    Oh the apostraphe just worked. Is it mended now? It seems not.

    Thanks for the hugs guys. I'm still sat here in tears and it is completely wrong that any job can do this to someone.

    I know exactly what you mean Michelle. That was me almost 2 years ago, although I was constantly in tears at work as well as at home. I got signed off sick, took ADs and went back to work after 6 weeks. It was a mistake. I went back too early, trying to be superwoman. I ended up doubling (sp?) my meds and staying off for 6 months.

    I think your colleague is very wise to suggest not quitting at the end of a bad day. I would suggest that you get yourself along to your GP and get signed off. You dont have to make any big decisions now.

    (((hugs))) xx

    THanks rosepink It doesn't say anything about freezer. I was hoping someone would say they would eat it too.

    Only problem is that I have moved freezer and was leaving it to settle for a couple of hours before plugging it in. Shouldn't really open the freezer before but thinking maybe I could so I could take ot the meringue pie so it can defrost. Can i really wait for it to defrost?

    Lady Liberty - huge hugs for you.

    Michelle - fully understand the thing about not making decisions on a bad day but do be careful you don't stick to it and along the way make yourself ill. Sorry, been involved with too many stress cases to stand by and watch someone do it. Have you tried a pros and cons list - what do you get out of work? What does it take out of you? Hugs for you whatever you decide to do.

    As mentioned last week I went back to work today and confessed about my error that cost us £5.5k, my lovely boss immediately rang the bank to say that as it was their correction of my error without telling us that lost the money it is up to them to get it back so that was a relief. Can stop stressing now.

    No work till friday other than odd bits for consultancy clients so may even make a start on this weeks lists tonight. So far tonight I have fed the children, fed the animals, emptied and filled the DW, S&S the kitchen table and put the WM on.

    moj2 - I would eat it. As long as you heat it throroughly. I know you can buy pre-cooked frozen ones, and you cook them from frozen too.
