Weekly Flylady Thread 17th August 2009

Been to the gym - thanks Julie - I manage to get there on autopilot and wake up about half way through! Try to have a rest until your migraine is gone. Give the pills a chance to work and drink plenty of water (helps them work, and being hydrated often improves things anyway).

Greenbee - when you're ready with the CV and with the leaving at the end of August will you still get 3 months pay? And top news about the training fund!

I hope to have more time soon, but I seem to be rather busy I get 3 months pay in lieu of notice (although this has tax & NI deducted, and I don't get my car allowance, pension, holiday accrual, bonus accrual, benefits etc for this period). However, given the phone call I got an hour after the 'at risk' meeting I need to get things tied up as quickly as possible

Does anyone know at what point I'm safe to mention that I might not actually be unemployed much longer and still keep the redundancy and get them to cough up for the training?! I'm worried they might change their minds...

Quillion wrote: »

Greenbee thats great news about the training. What would you like to do for a job?

Erm... next job isn't actually a problem but I don't want any training for that... I SHOULD do languages, but am currently having a lovely time persuading HR that I'm seriously thinking of going into cake-making as a career :rotfl::rotfl:Maybe I should send them my FB photo album...

So is ours so I am going into town this morning.
(no of course I am not avoiding studying)

Of course you aren't :rolleyes:

I've had fresh figs for breakfast (from my dad's fig tree, hopefully he will deliver more on Friday as he's dropping in on his way to Devon). Watered the tomato & aubergines. Now need to shower and get myself ready for my meeting before I go for my massage. Hopefully I'll be able to spend the afternoon in the garden and sorting out what I need to do over the next couple of weeks...

I have been MIA since the weekend as I have been shattered and then working really hard trying to get cases up to date before my annual leave. So I have decided to cut right back on each day as I will have only Saturday to do everything but I will try and get GT's to help a bit - DD can clean the bathroom although as I have now locked her out of my laptop I don't expect that I will be popular this morning when she wakes up.....lol

It looks like moving day will be a week on Friday as Mum and Dad get the keys this Friday but cannot get the carpets fitted until Tuesday or Wednesday. I have to be back here on Thursday for GCSE results so Friday seemed the best option.

Sorry to read about your dear old cat, Kaz. I know how sad this can be....

Congratulations with the new job Jo.

Right off to get my work trousers out of the wm and see if I can iron them dry - mmm - might not work!!

Oh dear, I'm afraid they're renowned for it, flyperson company excepted, of course.

Can you tell us what he's done, or not since he is around?
