Thank you for the support guys!

It's not usually as bad as all that, it pays an ok wage, is fairly secure & has some nice people to work with, but it's boring & doesn't make me feel like I'm doing something worthwhile, but this week has just been horrendously stressful! We've had a lady go on maternity leave early, another lady visiting family in India until the end of the month, & others having a day or 2 off so we've been short staffed. Also since there was only 2 people in over Christmas we have had quite a backlog to clear meaning people are continually chasing me for things & there's simply not enough hours in the day to do it all! (No chance of overtime though).

On Friday it came to a head as I seemed to have people coming at me from every direction & nothing I did was good enough, more & more demands were being made of me & I just felt so run down.

I am going to try & adopt DNMS's attitude a bit more & just think that it's a new week soon, so a new start, it will all be ok if I try & stay positive & don't let myself get bogged down by it all! So thank you DNMS for being such an amazingly positive person right now! :T

It's also given me a bit of a shove to get round to thinking more about what I actually want to do with my life careerwise - it's something from my 101 list to not just wish I did something I feel passionate about & enjoy but actually take at least some baby steps to get there, like at least have applied for a course to get me into it.

Anyway thank you again, you're all superstars :iloveyou:

Morning all!!!

Had a pretty good day yesterday! Only spent on grocery items

Looked after my 7 week old niece last night! DIdn't help either way with my third child decision. Most of the evening i was thinking that perhaps my baby days were done as i enjoy my two being older. But then after she left (i had her 4-10 and got to bath her ) i felt that i couldn't imagine not having another one. Though OHs wish for me to work full time makes me think he doesnt want another...but then i haven't asked him!! Oh the decision still remains.....................

NSD
Free morning at the wedding fair
One of my close friends coming round at 12 to see the new house
DD2 to a party at 4.30 - she will be fed there
Dinner at MIL's
Stay vegetarian and sweet free
Found travel ins but need to book it today
Kids homework
Quick shower
Wii fit for half hour
Maybe go for a walk

That is my day!

Morning everyone,

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday morning and hope you're feeling better today Pernicious... it is crappy when work gets you down. Like you I think Determined's positive thinking really helps... def makes me feel better about debt, life in general positive attitude is the way to go!!!

Ended up having a really nice night last night - went to Mr T's with clubcard vouchers and treated us to a few beers and some chocolate... not so used to drinking now though so I'm suffering a wee bit today ... was a good night though

aw perni that sounds horrid have a big :grouphug: from me. What's going on wth your job? Is it that bad all the time or just going through a rough patch? I do know how you feel as I was like this last summer, crying on the way home from work & having anxiety attacks in the evening about returning the following day, but things have got better for me - so maybe they will for you too? I've also given myself a 4 month window to fall back in love with my job or move on x

your fella sounds lovely :smileyhea

Good advice there.

Just a thought but if it is a small group of people asking for you to do job after job after job I have a great line that seems to cut the requests down...

You want me to prioritise this over (insert another job they want yesterday)?

Worked for me with a boss who wanted everything yesterday and in triplicate but you need to repeat it a few times till they get the idea.

Today I'm seriously in need of a kick up the bum. am wide awake and have been for an hour but can't get going on anything. I should go out for a run but need to eat first, otherwise I'll feel sick but just can't get my backside together to get going. ho hum

- checked ebayer has paid and transferred from paypal to bank
- sort washing that has dried on airer
- small amount of ironing for work clothes
- maybe try and get on wii? Could do some yoga.
