    Afternoon everyone!

    Randomname - well done on the AF day!

    Shaggy - good to see you back!

    I was AF yesterday - mainly because I went to pictures with a friend to see Eclipse (won't tell you much how I drooled.......)

    The cinema trip was fun!:eek: I ran over a pigeon on the way, got stabbed in the leg by a bush getting out the car and then waited like a lemon for 20 minutes till me and friend worked out she was at one cinema and I was at the other! Cue mad dash across town to get there before film started. :rotfl::rotfl:(luckily it was HER fault, not mine, so I will never let her live it down!!!:rotfl:)

    Work was ok. Discovered new girl bit of a backstabber - told Boss I'd shown her nothing so far. I told him I would leave her to it and we would see how much I hadn't shown her. By end of evening she had more-or-less proved herself a liar. Not keen on that. Will be keeping myself to myself in future. Do, my work and go home. Thats gonna be my policy!

    Anyway, must do some housework...back in ten minutes :rotfl:

    Poor you re your work colleagues...

    At least your hours are sorted though

    I am very lucky in that pretty much everyone in our office gets on very well, no major problems

    Although i fell out with a colleague yesterday and we weren't speaking when he left ( huffy ba5tard ) i was pure raging but he sent a text apologising and we made up fine and we are pals again

    I hate falling out with people

    Thanks Jo1972, You are right. My danger time is around 4pm when I usually go ''shopping''. If I can get past 6 I have a fair chance.LOL (is that lots of love or lots of laughs, I hav'nt fathomed some of abbreviations yet?) :-)

    Hi SSG

    Normally our office is fine. This new girl started 6 weeks ago and has thoroughly wound everyone up. Drivers all hate her, she's upset the young girl in the office, the evening supervisor and now me. Bosses admit they employed her as they knew she'd shake us all up a bit. In my mind, if she was shaking us all up by being GOOD at the job, and not being a cow then that would be fine! Hey ho!:rotfl:

    I have the same sort of relationship with the other members of satff as you you seem to with yours. We all blow up occasionally but we always get over it!

    I had two bottles of wine last night and I didn't even feel slightly drunk, just tired. Half way down the second bottle I was thinking that I don't have to drink all this wine just because it is opened but I still did. (I ignored the half bottle of voddy I had in the cupboard though!)

    My counseller said one of my main issues is rebellion, I rebel against everything, even myself. I am starting to write down my feelings everyday and set daily goals and write down all the stuff I have to be grateful for and that seems to be helping.:cool:

    I am feeling quite chirpy today despite drinking so much. Just had some fruit for breakfast and now want some toast and marmite. :)

    Sorry some people are having such a bad time. ((Hugs))

    This rang true for me last night, given a bottle of wine on way home - thought OK one glass won't hurt (Famous last words) and then of course the bottle was gone. Fell asleep on sofa - woke up at 4am.

    Some people never learn, Jo I'll be expecting a text tonight!

    No updates for me sparkles - 115k - just wanted to say - pick yourself up and dust yourself off, and you're not alone.

    Welcome to newbies - all us don't bite.

    But watch jo and choklit.............................she'll tear your arm off for some!
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
