oo look at that delicious new siggy taxi
Today was church day and opportunity to catch up with people. Still feeling quite raw but will for a while but the hardest bit (not knowing) is done...now its just about rebuilding my life and making necessary changes. One being getting some work clothes lol!
Did a bit of shopping and got a new duvet - mine was 20 years old and disintegrating! That will be ok for a spare now.
off to bed I go!

Hello back! Sorry been remiss...been absorbing events and just doing not much IYKWIM. Trying to adjust that Ill be working but not in the same area which means learning a new area...seeing my gp tomorrow to see if she agrees with occupational health that I return to work for phased return on 16th Aug - still not know where and that would help.
Ive a work collegues wedding next week at a lovely hotel so am looking forward to that - dress up, nice food and wine and a change. Plus chuffed that they are marrying as a lovely couple!
Hope youre all ok. Feel a but out of touch with people...my apologies!

Good news to report - won 80+ on the bingo! I logged in to play through and close and managed to win! Having said that also got wedding present which is a lovely hand calligraphy wedding thingy for the lovely couple - think she will love it as in lovely oak frame but there went half the money lol! I had wanted to give them a days cooking experience but it costs a bomb - 100+ which is a shame.
Otherwise not much to report - received my work letter confirming whats what. I will be working with care leavers which will be another string to my bow; I've no doubt its going to be hard but I just need to grit my teeth and get on with it. Certainly cant be worse than the last year! My return to work date is 16th August as GP signed me off until then - in agreement with the occupational health plan. She also said that I must stay on the medication that I have and not to review for at least 6 months..I had wanted to reduce them but will trust her judgement. Feeling quite fluey which is body breathing a sigh of relief!
Money wise Ive had another jewellry order so have started making that and also have some extra babysitting. Selling jewellry in work is out as feel the need to be squeaky clean and above question in current circumstances but I hope maybe to do a tabletop sale at some stage...may have to get organised and design a business card etc. Would at some point like to do hand knitted stuff but need to hone my skills more!! Currently doing a crochet cusion for a freind who gives me adhoc crochet lessons!
