okay phone call done lovely lady very helpful. They can not stop me handing my notice in unless i have a unresolved disaplinary which i don't have one at all so that is not the reason so i will be leaving there on the 15th. She said i am within my rights to cancel it however if i was to attend i could make sure i get a good referance and clear the air. I am going to try and go unless it makes me feel worse today. if it makes me feel worse i am going to write a letter and take that to give to them tomorrow instead.
Right it has stopped snowing i am going for a run. see you in a bit (probably 10 minutes lol):j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart Proven to be a little fighter and battling on with her heart condition :j

i am back see i never run for long. yeah it does make me feel better something i have never understood people saying before! How can running make you feel better when it makes you out of breath and your legs ache? No idea but it just does:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart Proven to be a little fighter and battling on with her heart condition :j
