  • Can I start the day over again please? It's been one of those days!

    Plus I'm annoyed with my brother and his gf and how they treat my parents.

    SOryr rant over, I just want to have a good old cry.

    Another mad person here. My colleague is being underhanded again, why am I surprised, and she's done no preparation for the week's work so far. I could do tomorrow's plan but why the heck should I. Grrrr she ruins this job. The hunt begins again...*sigh*

    and my other friend with BC was taken into hospital after going rapidly downhill over the weekend...she is hoping (!!) to go into a hospice next week...

    Well I didn't mean to bring anyone down ..it's just like you said,sometimes we need a little perspective.
    I offered to go with her, but she said her husband is going into work late, after the church thing...how on earth can you go and concentrate on work after doing that??I just cannot begin to imagine what she's going through.Everyday things-her youngests' school sports day (his 1st) was cancelled due to rain this morning,rescheduled for friday-when she's working..but she can't miss possibly her only chance to see it, so she's trying to get the time off work but she's missed so much lately it's not easy.....it's just !!!!!!..

  • That's horrible SRM, I'd not be able to concentrate on work after doing something like that. I so hope she gets to see her sons first sports day.

    At times like this, it's when having really good friends count and I feel that you'll be there for both of them.

    And continuing the day in a slightly somber mood....Ive been to court and had to swear my affidavit for my divorce. Standing there with my hand on the bible was totally weird and made me quite sad that this really is it over even though I know here begins the new chapter.





    Oh welll onwards and upwards
