    Awww so sorry to hear about your kitty, Really hope that a night at the vets with the drip will perk her back up and get her back home to you sooner.
    I agree with MadVix- definitely worth getting legal/ ACAS advice if able to, just so you are armed with any support/counters.
    I do hope both situations improve for you guys.

    Oh, I hadn't realised that it wasn't actually a work incident with DH's hand. Let's hope the company has some compassion/realism regarding their expectations of growth at the moment. 

    Hope hand and cat are doing better x

    Time to get myself sorted as I’ve fallen back down the lockdown hole again, like first time round it’s no exercise, getting up late, getting lazy and combined with the after Xmas eating junk irregularly it’s not good 🙄 so as of today:

    • exercise once a day outside 
    • Eat three meals a day - not one and lots of snacks!
    • At least one phone call a day to relatives/friends 
    • More research on starting selling business 
    That’s it for now, back later with a new financial challenge 😁

    Sounds like a good plan to dust yourself down and set goals for each day- I’m doing similar to shake me out of my funk and so far its helping. ‘Every day is a new chance’ and all that :)

    Glad kitty is doing okay following the vets stay- how is she today?

    Hi KK, hope you are well, the cat is ok but very wobbly still, although she had a small tin of cat pate this morning which is the most she’s had in a while 🙂
