    Hello All

    Our service has been under a review at work and I got my letter today that advised I had been job matched. This means I am safe (for now) which is a great relief, as my daughter has recently been made redundant. I do know of a couple of colleagues who have been put 'at risk' as they call it - very uncertain times for them and my heart goes out to them. This is the second review where I have been job matched so there is something to being the only person doing this job, even though it can be overwhelming at times!

    Nice sunny day here although it was minus 2.5 driving into work this morning. I can't wait for sunnier and warmer days to get here but have a feeling we might have to wait a little longer for them.

    Thought I'd rescue the chat in my tea break.

    Do you mean J? She has got until the end of April. She is looking around but not much out there at the moment. She has an interview on Friday so i am crossing my fingers for her!

    How are you Beanie? I read you had taken another couple of falls recently, hope you are alright?

    Bookie - there's a room here that needs decorating if you fancy it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Tenmah, glad to hear that your job is safe (at least for now...)
    Been out doing my motherly duty - taking my 12 year old (and a couple of others) to his athletics but he's now in bed and I'm sat with a glass of wine.

    Welcome secret shopper. Please feel free to join in.
    Pleased for you Tenmah :T
    I've shared a bottle of wine with my tenant tonight, he's shared his cauliflower cheese with me. I'm a bit resentful of having to share my wine with him. Think I've been living on my own for too long - sharing isn't coming naturally to me at all. Just as well he is lovely, brilliant tenant. Couldn't have asked for better really. Made me pancakes on Tuesday.

    Yep def. have a problem with sharing :o
