Tuesday 13th April - What small DFW thing have you done today?

Cleosmum

Ahhhh the grabbit board! Love it! Am currently not allowed in though, as I am skint lol.

Ok ok, what it is about planting seeds, giving the garden a tidy, birds singing, sun shining.....that makes me go mental and have to clean anything that stands still momentarily? I have blitzed downstairs, stripped the sofa covers ready to wash, cleaned windows and paintwork, vacuum, sorted the crap drawer :eek: I am shattered now

Ahhhh off to finish the kitchen and then I am going to sit and admire my little pots of mud that are snuggled in the hot windowsill :A

Hi folks , haven't been around last few days as have been working like a dog ! :mad: Despite this my employers were reluctant to reimburse me for the fact that I had worked late on sunday to help them out and said they would only pay me 2/3rds of what i was owed :mad: Whole office in uproar as we do it out of goodwill and they do not appreciate it :mad: Today they needed help again and everyone refused so they have agreed to pay me all my hours at sunday overtime rate :T But thats it for me , no more goodwill , i will be watching the clock and finishing on time. I am also going to actively job seek as this was the final straw. Sadly there are few jobs at my level due to the cutbacks. (i'm a frontline worker and they seem to be cutting us back and employing more managers :mad: ) Guess who I work for .....:(

OK , rant over. Today I have / will :

• Checked online banking - not great and 14 days to payday :eek:
• shuffled some money
• sent payment reminder to ebay buyer who has not paid :mad:
• made a start on the surveys piled up in my inbox
• Driven with a lead foot for past few days as angry and busy at work, got a lot done but not very mse on the petrol
• Printed off my C.V to update and upload so I can apply for job I have seen tommorow.

Two days off now but lots to do and not much time to relax, DD has been a saint and had a cuppa and my tea waiting when i got in. Now have a huge glass of wine and waiting for holby to start. :j:j

Night all

Evening everyone :j

Josie - I get days like that :mad:

Hope poorlies feel better soon

Can't remember who it was with the old job finishing and new one starting and feeling a bit uncertain? It happened to me last year, and it all turned out ok - and I am sure it will for you as well

I haven't managed to post since the weekend because it has been mad at work :eek:

However, today I have managed:

Free lunch at work meeting today

Breakfast at home and HM supper - DD and her boyf invited themselves, so I got out of my jacket and diamonds as soon as I got in from work and cooked macaroni cheese with bacon and leeks (ooh get me - not as posh as it sounds. I wore a suit to work today as I had to give a talk at a meeting in London,and wore my mum's old dress ring to give me a bit of an extra confidence boost ) Sounds good though doesn't it :rotfl::rotfl:

Watching new chicken anxiously, hoping it bonds with existing one. One of my two girls had to be out down so OH got me another one.

That is all I managed today apart from work :eek:

Goodnight - off to bed now for me, as I was up at 5.30 this morning for a really early train :eek:

I too have had a pants day! Let's have a collective sulk!

Did absolutely tons of work over the last few weeks to be ready for when my uni tutor visited school today to observe me teaching and have a general chat - and guess what - he didn't turn up!!!:mad::mad::mad:
He did ring (after when he was supposed to arrive) and rearrange but I was not a happy person.
One of my classes has turned into the class from hell and I'm verging on wanting to chuck them all out too - perhaps I'm too much of a perfectionist and can't stand it when they won't cooperate.
And remembered to pay CC bill - 1 day late (fingers crossed they won't notice - chance would be a fine thing!)

Have done some DFW things but can't be bothered to write them down (sorry:o).

Tomorrow will be a better day for all of us! It has to be!
