    ETA facebook working fine for me ????????
    Think it must have just been a blip... said it was scheduled maintenance, but I bet they have that for every time something falls over!

    Due to the ice/condensation on the windows, several of them have had an unscheduled clean, and more of them will do later! Sun is now shining, it looks lovely outside :D My dad has now left... heading up the M5 to Birmingham, then M42, M1 to get to the A14 and across to Peterborough. I guess it'll be slow round Birmingham as usual, and hopefully the A14 will have been cleared.

    Morning all,

    Hope you're ok Pigpen!?!

    Quillion - I know it might seem easy coming from someone else but there is always a way and you will be fine no matter what. I'm sure it will be sorted. ((hugs)).

    Thanks for your thoughts of me, work called a snow day because no one was able to get to the offices and though I can work from home my manager rang to say "get back under the duvet"! Anyway, I did pick up a few answer phone messages from my work mobile - was sort of ok, heart rate was up a bit, I just noted the messages and thought I'll deal with them today.

    Temp Manager managed to deal a final blow to me while I've been off! I had to whistleblow 2 professionals from a different place (more for those individuals safety rather than any concern for a service user) and she named me on the letters that she sent out as the person who'd disclosed concerns! Can't believe it! How am I supposed to face these people? I'm certain their line managers will have dragged them over the coals and it wouldn't surprise me if they've undergone some form of disciplinary - put it this way - the temp manager said that if someone had disclosed something like that about me then I'd get sacked ! I couldn't avoid disclosing it because it had to be part of my recordings and I'd get into a lot of trouble otherwise! What a cow! I'm gutted, could it get any worse?! Sorry to go on folks, my stress levels are through the roof!

    On a flying note, I've vacuumed kitchen and living room, unloaded WM to TD.

    Love to all as always :A:A:A

    I love the idea about the writing jobs on paper with your dd.

    My dd (5) & ds (3) love helping clean we normally do turbo clean (run around madly cleaning quickly) as I broke my toe on New Year Day - and have had it stood on most days - I'm hobbling around so haven't been flying, but yesterday we did a turbo clean me, oh, dd & ds and the house got cleaned in less than an hour (I was mainly instructing).

    Hopefully I will be back flying next week with yous all. Just really popped on to say happy flying!!

    Morning everyone.

    One of the staff from the estate agents got stuck in the back lane this morning. Luckily the council workers were nearby and I asked if they would help. Then the guy in the paper shop asked if I would deliver the papers to the old folk in my street. I wasnt happy with next door last night as they were having a snowball fight at 4am.

    Kitchen done, bathroom next. Will do the living room list later as Im going out with DD.

    Hugs everyone.Keep safe and warm.
