    hi ISOM, i hadn't realised how long this horrible w*** situation has been going on. It's a miracle you've held it together so well for so long.

    thanks all...all i can say really is that i would just like it over and done with...not just for me but for the people I work with as well. We all need to move on...anyway beyond my control. I think I doa a good impression of coping but internally am devastated...not just by the time but by things that have been said. i also worry how i will manage with working again as get very tired (depression) doing basic tasks - ie meeting friend to go to go to costco - slept for 3 hours after!
    Well today will be nice - making sock monkeys at craft group! Then a couple of chores and back to knitting matinee coat! i know how to live me!!

    After nagging Bon thought I had better update!! Although not that much to update lol! Had a lovely cheap day out on Thursday with a friend, her little boy and mum to a local beach where I managed to get lots of driftwood. Had a long walk then back to van (vw camper that she has-Im v jealous!) and bacon and marmalade sandwiches! yum! Poor mum been poorly again with urine infection so is on antibiotics again.
    Other than that have had a quiet few days with the exception of helping at the church lunch yesterday. After a week of trying to fix the lappy have now got a new one so trying to be lethal with spending to make up for it. Best mate is coming tomorrow for the day which will be a fairly cheap one and very little planned for the weekend.
    A few crafting projects on the go - Fergs blanket is under way; doing a matinee jacket for a friends baby and finishing off a basket for my wools! Busy but gently so! Saw GP yesterday to review meds and am staying as I am for a couple of weeks - if no change will up them in a couple of weeks but we both felt that it was to be expected that I would be stressed after the events of last month!! So a plodding I go!
