One last thing - if you are buying through ebay - r you on a cashback site? if not i can send you a recommendation - it all helps make the pennies go a bit further!

Huge hugs!!!!

xxxxxxx

Oh that cashback site would be great, I am not sure if I get sickpay again yet as I was off from Nov 10 until Oct 11 on full pay for first six months then 1/2 pay for 2nd part, I am not sure how long you have to work after a period of sickness like that before you get sick pay again, guess I'll see on Friday when my wages go in. Work are very supportive but it's me who digging my heels in not admitting that i'm not fit enough for work at all really, just dragging out the inevitable. Have a better idea tomorrow when I see specialist, thanks for the offer of help, I will take you up on it when my brain is less like mince, have sent off for loads of forms today and cancelled sky and dvd rental. Thanks Fairy:A

Vintage43 - After being off work so long, you really should have had a phased return over several months, rather than being chucked straight back in. Have you heard about 'access to work' they can help not just disabled people but people with health issues in general, they will come into work & do a full assesment making sure your workplace is providing with you what need to be able to complete your job, ie: the workplace must give you acess to work. They are really supportive can provide funding/instruct the workplace you require specialist equipment eg: a chair at the correct height, with leg rest, back support etc in order for you to be able to work. They have even enforced a classroom change at my work so one of my male collegues doesn't have to do as much walking its closer to the canteen/staff room/car park (he moves quick enough at the end of the day i tell you)!

Princess84 You have a mahsooovie amount of smilies today well done, mind if i pinch a few?:T

Left the house at 6.30 this morning...16 hours later home so didn't even get around to making a list today but i will reward myself with these smilies regardless
1. Go to work - can i reward myself with a smile per lesson i complete? or better still per child in each of my classes thats 150 smilies for me today :rotfl:
2. Secretly install swagbucks search on my work laptop without attracting attention of IT
3. Attend crappy meeting after work
4. Post ebay parcels
5. Change clothing in the car without making a prat/exposing myself before going out for dinner
6. Catch up with an friend i haven't seen in a while
7. Go to cinema with said friend & not fall asleep during film
8. Do superclicks does it count if i get a child to press the button 50 times for me?
9. Send ebay messages telling people their parcels have been sent
10. Turn the laptop off &bed before midnight (leaving now)

Night all, sleepless signing off

5. Arrange some free counselling
6. email HR and find out exactl how much sickness entiltlement I have left , if any, don't know why I've been scared of doing this but my son said very wisely last night ' just ask mum'
7. Call my friend later to see how her first day at work went
