    Like I said re micro manager, keep a note of her activities. You never know when you might need it.
    Glad you are feeling generally better in yourself

    Busy day. Well busy weekend really. Swimming, housework, work based paperwork, declutter, clear out car and visiting friends for a catch up up over cake and tea....one of our friends in our tea and cake circle is having a few health problems and I am grateful I am feeling well and energised at the moment. We sorted our Christmas 'events' - mince pies and coffee/sherry afternoon. Meal out. Book club Christmas get together. Trip to cinema on vouchers donated by one of the circle. An afternoon tea - I have vouchers and possibly a meet up at half term and a 'takeaway night' with a wider group of friends - phew what a social whirl:D

    Have managed to stay away from food shopping all weekend - OH nipped out to the next village to get some eggs and some pastries for mid morning coffee. I will do an on line click and collect for tomorrow night.

    One more week then a break from the mad frogs. The Micro Manager has been ill this week.....so we could get on with our jobs:D They 'nipped in' on Friday morning and let slip they are going away for a long weekend so wont be in Monday - all OK'd with line manager.............but " I was told not to tell anyone" !!!!!!:eek: Anyway I have filed that one away for another day;)

    Limping with a crutch until payday but have managed another 0.25% off the debt:j

    Sometimes it just doesnt work.................fridge clear out soup that it is. I often make a soup up out of bits and pieces left in fridge. Made a veg soup with past it leeks celery carrots handful of barley and some lentils. Then I threw in some chopped up Swiss Chard............big mistake! It was totally vile and I, who can eat most thingss couldn't manage more than 3 spoonfuls. Rest of family loved it! I like chard but wouldn't recommend it in a soup - bleh!

    Last day with mad frogs tomorrow before a week off. It should have been my usual work at home day but we are very short staffed so I am going in as some of the frogs are madder than ever at the moment.............windy weather doesnt help!

    Few days off pay day and not a moment too soon! The emails to say 'your statement is available to view' seem to have come around again rather a little too quickly this month:eek::D

    Week off now but its a very busy one.....appointments,car service gardening, the inevitable stuff to do for work,decluttering and a bit of me time...........I will need a week off to get over it.

    I know how you feel. I had a lovely few days off on South Island recently, and they were great, but I was still knackered afterwards.

    Made over £240 yesterday at NNS sale:j Selling off old large toys,games and construction sets that belong to my children - have been using them in work but decided I needed the money more and work should be providing adequate resources.............sorry frogs:(

    Body clock takes 4/5 days to adjust from getting up to go to work time so not even taking advantage of change to GMT.......it will catch up with me later in the week I hope!

    Havent decided yet what to due with money/where to put it for best effect.

    One thing I willget done this week is sort this bloomin home office out......driving me nuts

    Ooooh I have had a pay rise..............£34.33 a month which after tax, NI and pension stoppages that is £22.87..........better than nothing I suppose but does not come close to rise in 'cost of living'
