    Yeah, all good, 5 more parcels to go tomorrow.

    Someones bank has stopped the paypal and claimed it back so I need to chase this up....:mad:.

    You ok, see a level of disatisfaction re your job, indifferent management, changing goalposts, unrealistic expectations and no recognition for what you've done.....can relate, believe me.:rotfl:
    So you work for an idiot too then?

    I'll keep my options open for the moment. I've written a response to my boss's email and saved it rather than sending it off immediately (I've learnt, slowly, that it's best not to go with your first reaction!) - I'm speaking to my mentor on Thursday so will sort out a response before my 1-2-1 on Friday...

    Suppose I should find and post a list, then get myself ready to go, as I have to go into the office today...
  • Morning all

    well I didn't get very far with my list - typical!!

    I was still very tired after helping Mum last week and had a very busy day at work with no lunch break, and didn't finish until 5.45.

    Oh you can't beat an early night. If I happen to be reading a really good book. It's not unusual for me to disappear to bed at 8.00pm in the winter. Reading makes me lovely and sleepy you see!;)
  • Right - the list for today

    I will again try and clean the bathroom as it is today's day.

    1. Collect DS from Grantham - he will be frozen as it will take about 7 hours to get from Southampton
    2. Clear his bed
    3. Make his bed
    4. 1 x load in WM
    5. Dry load - fold and put it way
    6. Buy coal and wood
    7. clear grate and light fire
    8. Wash up after tea
    9. food shop
    10. take boot roll into work for friend
    11. take bags to charity shop
    12. write 10 Christmas cards - still not written any but have made a list
    13. clean bath
    14. clean basin
    15. clean loo
    16. sweep floor
    17. put back bath mats that I washed yesterday
    18. Contact buyer who managed to get my pine table at a bargin price - I just want it collected - out of the way
    Think that this will do for now - may add some extra's later!

    Have a good day - must go and get ready for work now...... would rather be at home but never mind.....
