    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks MCI.. It feels like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back at the moment..

    We had a colleague that moved to another department 10 days ago, and another one who will shortly move to another post.. On top of that, another colleague is going on holidays for 3 weeks from tonight.. There is no sign of recruitment so far and it will take a good 6 months to get them trained and up to scratch.. So much more stress to be had in the short term.. I think my holiday mid-June will be much deserved and appreciated..

    It's been a tough ol' week and the weekend can't come soon enough.. Off to spend some quality time with Elvis tomorrow.. We will probably watch the F1 qualifications and no doubt fall asleep on the sofa.. :p

    I have mis-calculated my yearly costs and will need to dig into the lilypad fund this month as I have my car insurance (due on 23rd) and car service & MOT (on the 18th).. I had under estimated the holiday costs (2 trips to france) and incidentals (car parking..) However I should be able to make it up over the summer..

    Hope all are well..

    Am sure you'll replace the savings soon and your holiday will be worth the expense. Hope you have a relaxing weekend.

    Morning Froggy, work can be frustrating at times but they hold you in high regard and that's worth a lot these days :)

    You'll really deserve your holidays this year :rotfl:

    Hello all

    Bad headache all weekend :o Can I have another weekend please? Really don't fancy work in the morning.. Not prepared to deal with 2 faced people :(

    Still no nephew/niece.. My sis in law was due yesterday.. I have kept my mobile topped up and constantly keep checking it, even in the middle of the night.. I am getting slightly worried but been told everything is still on track though..

    Hope you are all well?
