    Hello all-we've got snow yay!!!!!! hmmmm bored now lol

    Still trying to think of something to buy to sell on ebay..head hurts but still no ideas. Really need to find a basic product that people buy online to get a reasonably regular income and then find any odd bargain products on top of that to sell (yeah I know-me and everyone else!) Seem to spending whole days on the internet at the moment.
    Hope everyone is ok, I'm a bit worried about you Jen.. whats all this about running!!!??? thats not normal lmao!!!

    morning all,


    i have come crashing back down now from being happy and nearly normal and i feel rubbish!
    Yesterday i phoned work to tell then i had been signed off for another 3 weeks so i will not be coming back to my family support post and they told me they have not excepted my resignation/notice and won't until the meeting weds! The meeting i e mailed and cancelled. she told me everything will be discussed then. after that i was upset but thought what the hell i will just tell her i am leaving and thats that. but not i think they are going to bully me into staying. I don't think i can face my manager but what other options do i have??

    i went to uni last night and ended up in tears coz someone asked me if i was okay and went to tesco this morning and was fighting back the tears all round tesco ended up giving up and paying.

    Oh Jen , that sounds awful! If there not a senior manager you could involve? Are you in a union? Some home insurance policies also have a free legal helpline - might be worth getting some advice :confused: Sometimes just knowing your rights can make you feel more in control

    Thinking of you, take care :A

    thanks shoe gal both the managers will be at the meeting and the manager above is useless! i am not in a union. I am tempted to phone her again and say i am not going but not sure what will happen if i do that. i hardly slept last night.
    i will have a look for an advice line. Thank you
