Jo - I am much happier for leaving my job. It didn't have to come to that, but they didn't take my complaints seriously and turned a blind eye to my sitting at my desk crying. I would definitely encourage you to emphasize to your employers exactly what the job is doing to you. Write down the points you make and the response you get - not necessarily to use in the future, but making a record for yourself should give you some leverage if they don't listen or don't put into action any remedies they may come up with. Sometimes though a gap on your cv or a less challenging/less skilled job (i'm off to work in a supermarket for a spell) is absolutely vital to your health and that is far more important than any career move.

Morning!

Snowy - You seem so much happier for it too! I think I may well join the I QUIT club shortly as ive quite frankly, reached the end of my tether. Im going to have some words with my boss today, im not sure if my new managers have been briefed at all of the state of my health (something which my old manager was fab about and was really understanding about - but then she got promoted and moved - boo!) and I think I may well need to explain exactly what this particular job is doing to me.

Doddsy - Good luck with quitting - I wish I was joining you!

((((Vicky A)))) and ((((tired mum)))) - seems im not the only one frustrated, annoyed and generally fed up with work! I hope things improve for you both, or you both get to quit too!

Had a bit of a row with oh yesterday too over money. This week just gets better and better....

Yesterday I spent the day doing the assigned jobs i put in the diary and I managed to get everything done bar the hoovering because one of the neighbours had commandeered the henry at that particular moment. The loft is now tidy, I washed all the windows, cleaned all the kitchen cupboards, changed the bedsheets and tidied out the carp from underneath and put neatly in the loft, fully cleaned the bathroom inc paintwork and all the tiles, did some laundry, did another dejunking session, dusted the entire house and cleaned all the furniture. No wonder my back hurts today!

Unfortunatley I have to go to work today, I must confess to wondering if I could get a mystery illness and just call in sick, but as I did a couple of weeks ago I dont think it would go down well. I did burn my tonsil on a piece of pasta yesterday - do you reckon thats enough??!! (It bloody hurts as well!) I tell you what - If I knew we could manage financially without my income I wouldnt have even bothered getting up this morning.

Oh well, ill job hunt this evening!

morning all, i'm still full of cold. so i'm still drinking lemsip. kids are still poorly also.

car is having it's mot today. oh i'm dreading that. were putting it in 2 weeks early so if it does need anything then we can get it done.

Hubby was up late this morning and it is all my fault of course. he said in future i should throw a wet flannel on him. now as much as i love that idea, i know if i do it , it will be wrong. and they say women are complicated. lol

Anyway for dinner tonight i am making hm pizza with hm garlic bread and a few hm wedges for the kids asdaugther doesn't like garlic bread.

just going to strip our bed and wash it all. nice dry day today with a breeze so should dry nicely.

Gingham Ribbon - hope you feel better today. Did they get to the bottom of it?

Thanks. Yes, they said (in very technical terms ) that I 'overdid it'. LOL Just glad my toddler was with his daddy at the time. :eek:

Gingham - i had lots of 'nearly fainting' when pregnant with DS, quite often people would find me sat on a wall in various places, where i had felt fine, but come over all funny!!! Take it easy, and enjoy your day of rest x

Thanks, Cat!
