Morning All

Will be spending the day wrapping pressies, I have got all of them except FIL's, he is so difficult to buy for so I might just get him a few joke pressies such as a sat nag, jellyatrics (elderly jelly babies) and some racing grannies.

Food shop tomorrow, but again I don't need much, only fresh stuff to buy.

Way to go bargainbird,:j that should help with Christmas, does that mean we are all invited to yours this year

DS has gone down to the college to see if any of his tutors are in.
DD's tutor is not on strike so she has a lecture at 1pm.
DH is not on strike because he is not in the union, but he does support what the strike is about.
There is only one teacher in the union and is striking at DH's school, but the Head and the other teachers have given her their full backing.
It annoys me to hear women bleating that their darlings can't be looked after and as such they have to take time off work to look after them, in my opinion if you have children you should be prepared to look after them :mad:

Well I am off for a shower so BFN x

Morning All,

Bargainbird, wow well done you, that will see your cold off:j
FW how did DD do at her new school

My DS3 has also got this cold and sore throat so quite glad he gets a day off because of the strike. I dosed him up with honey and lemon last night and have left him in bed this morning
DS2 and DH have gone off to work.

I am going to spend the day doing my presentation for the job interview on Monday. Can't put it off any longer.

Tea will be leftovers from last nights birthday tea.

Have the evening to myself as DH and DS3 at football (DH is finally back to normal with his sprained ankle, I have told him if he does it again I will break the other one:cool:) and DS2 is at his photography class so will be in charge of the remote.

Have good days all hugs were needed J x

Morning everyone,

Lovely crisp clear morning here, not like last night, my feet got so wet on the way home from work that I felt like I was paddling in the sea!

Quiet day at home today, hopefully get a bit more Christmas shopping done later and need to drop a key off with the plumber as he is servicing the boiler tomorrow.

Tea tonight will be a big pot of chilli, proper cold weather food.

Hugs to all in need especially Beth, JackieG, Taplady and Lou.

Get well soon Adelight and Bargainbird.

Let us know how DD got on at her new school FW.

Have a lovely day everyone.:)

Morning all!

Congrats BB - how did you manage that?

had a little lay in this morning, i'm feeling really down about a few things atm. My relationship, my gdad,etc and a childhood friend of my sister's died yesterday. He was found in my village on Monday with critical head injuries and it seems no one is clear as to what happened, he passed away yesterday and it's so so sad.

I'm out for work dinner tonight and my heart isn't really in it, but I can't cancel.

I'm also fed up that i clean the house each morning and once more it looks like a tip. Why is it ALWAYS down to me to keep it clean? Why can't OH put things away or in the bin?!

Going to have a bath and then take pup out.

Hugs to you Bramble, you seem to be having a really hard time at the moment.

XH still hanging on in there which is great news. As the schools are closed I'm working from home today (I sooo love my job ) so I'm about to set up my 'home office' on the kitchen table.

Stewing steak in the slow cooker for dinner - feels like the kind of day it will be welcome and will try and tempt the Twins to stay for tea so I can ply them with hot food and vegetables!

have a good day all x

Morning. I know it's been a while. I'm not usually around on a Wednesday, but I'm on strike for the first time in my life, as are at least half of my colleagues.It'snot been an easy decision, but unfortunately it's needed.

Just as well I'm at home, really- the place is a pit (of my own making) ,the washing pile is almost as tall as me, and I need to take the hoover out for a run on the stairs.

W*rk is really difficult right now - after a really tough afternoon, my HoD cornered me and had a real go at me because she was unsatisfied with how I was teaching. I have recently been diagnosed with reactive depression, and I admitted as such to her, along with the fact that I had not been offered treatment at this time. She went on to say that if my mental health was in such a state, then perhaps I lacked the capability to stand in front of a class. She then said that perhaps it was time for a competancy meeting with herself and SLT. I managed to keep it together until I found my union rep , then utterly lost it.I couldn't stop crying for a good ten minutes. He listened to me, then got a senior colleague who was there to hear what I had to say as well as bearing witness to how upset I was. The upshot is I'm submitting a formal statement of complaint to the Head, with the full weight of my union behind me. I will be drafting it later today, and while I'm not entirely sure how things will pan out, it cannot be worse than how I felt last night. Thank god for my DH and a couple of friends from work who've kept me sane.

On OS front, I'm waiting to hear when my AF delivery is coming (sometime tomorrow, allegedly) and I need to do some batch cooking once I've fed and changed the DW and WM.
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks moorhen. I'm thinking of trying to go away with pup for a night or two next week, OH has work now so we can't go to devon, but i might just go on my own to get away from it all.

My thoughts exactly hun.Someone was moaning on fb about the strike so I told her it's" look after your own kids day":eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:My best mate is striking and losing out on £150 pay as well as her pension contribution:( Not a decision she made lightly;)
Have been up since 5.45 with Boo, and have a lot on my mind right now, so will pop back later when my head is sorted:o:o
