Morning all

Piggers - re the appointment. I think it's really important that you attend it. Can't the older children help out with the younger ones? What about OH, Exh - or even your mother just for this one morning? Failing that, just take them with you.....

Another day’s work ahead. I wonder what can be added today to “childish, game playing, unprofessional” individuals who can‘t be trusted as far as we can be thrown? I wonder if she has some communication problems and what she’s actually trying to say is that I’m a “young at heart, fun loving, private individual” who likes her food! :rotfl:
　
　
Carlsberg gal - mega vibes!

Pen Pen - hope you had a great day

Mumto5 - sending “virtual” help and calming vibes!

Jinky - its very easy to isolate ourselves when we’re feeling down and we all manage things differently - if having time out is right for you then use it. Your boss does sound nice, don’t be afraid to ask for support ((hugs))

Pigpen - sorry that yesterday was so horrible, what an incompetent hospital, will you make a complaint? Its shocking!:eek:

Greenbee - I’ve been looking for a smiley that represents “running around in circles”, which would seem to fit your problems with GP/Occ Health/Work!!!

JillD - I’ve replied to your PM - again, I’ve rambled enough to cover 3 pages of the thread otherwise!

Froddington - Look after yourself, you come first!

Hi LL, Toots, Mudbath and all I missed!

Big, but gentle hugs to all of those in need :A

Happy flying all,
Lala x

DS came back for a brief visit from Germany (2 days and drove there and back), confirmed that his company is going to Afghan, just not who yet, so MEGA VIBES that it isn't him - though he wants to go the silly (lovely)boy that he is. Should stop saying that he's nearly 22, 6'4" with size 14 feet!!

mega vibes for you

Jinky come on honey - you know that time is running out - you need to start packing up what you want to take and then you can clean round as you go and the time gets nearer. And speak to your boss - if she is that nice you will be fine talking to her - its worse to put it off (((hugs)))



Lady L - we want to know how you are honey good or bad????? 1 post at 6.09am wishing Penpen a happy birthday isnt saying anything about yourself - ecept that you are awake aaaawwfully early!!!!

I agree 100% as I am sure everyone else does too

greenbee wrote: »

jinky - talk to your manager, unlike lala's she obviously cares about you, so return her calls and she should be able to avoid any issues resulting from an unauthorised absence.

JillD wrote: »

Also wanted to say jinky - completely take your point that there may not even be a problem. The main reason I wanted to follow it up was because after years f having doubts and wondering I really reached the very very very very end of my tether last month, ad 10 days or so where I cried at least once a day about the way our family life is at the moment, the strain the constant conflict puts on the other children and on me and on our relationships. We just weren't functioning as a family at all. We needed (still need really) help and didnt know where to turn. But then yes, perhaps you're right and that's just him. Sigh.

:grouphug::grouphug:I know the feeling:cool:

Jinky - Just text or call your manager back and let her know you are Ok. She sounds like she is understanding and if you don't respond soon there could be repucussions so keep those lines of communication open. You know you can message me any time you like hon.

Thank you all:o
I did text my boss last night to apologise. She does know all thats going on with me right now, but she said because she didnt know what was happening that she had to mention it to the BIG BOSS. So I probably wont get paid this week:o:o
She said had she known she could have covered for me, I told her not to worry about it as it was my own stupid fault:( and that I would phone BIG BOSS myself today to apologise:cool:

I had a mega crying session last night on the phone to Daz last night as well, even he didnt know that I hadnt phoned work:o:o


Anyway enough doom and gloom, feel better today although I do have a pounding headache, so I am glad I am ahead this week:D

Jinky, massive hugs to you - you always seem so upbeat, so it's heartbreaking to see you like this

Have you had a word with your GP? They may be able to recommend something (not necessarily drugs ) to get you through this :A Just remember that you have the Force of the Flyladies behind you - I know how supportive that is :T

DD reminded me this morning that Mary Portas is coming to college today. I find that her style grates on me, but DD really likes her, especially what she did for charity shops

Penny. x

Hugs Jinks - hope you feel better soon.

Froddy - hope you go on ok at the docs and you get to take the rest of the week off - if not just sign yourself off - you don't need a doctor's note for the first 5 days. I'll PM you later when I get in.

Shower had, now dressed and ready for work so I suppose I'd better make a move!

Byeeee
