Sorry you are not feeling your best.
Take care of you.
If you feel job is asking more of you than you wish to give & you sont need the money then let it go.in_need_of_direction wrote: »What beanie said but I'd defer a decision on the job until you're back firing on all cylinders.
Thanks guys. I wasn't looking forward to working this weekend but once I got there I enjoyed it. It would make sense to keep going until next March as I couldn't let them down during peak season and things quiet down from mid-October anyway. Might keep my powder dry and let them know at the end of the year.

Don't ask me why I haven't read it all in chronological order, but by the time I realised it was too late. Did forget at times that I was reading in the past and went to comment and then realised it was 'gone'
*like the time your pyjamas fell down and I laughed out loud
*when you expressed your hate for celery - couldn't agree more - no useful purpose on this planet :rotfl:
*git excited when I found out you were a coach and MBTI - I too am a business coach and MBTI qualifiednot that I get to do any MBTI stuff in current role, which is a shame as I find it really interesting
* when you were buying at TD and I was going to say we have B0sch and they're all good much better than N3ff we had integrated in out old house
At least I'm reading the end bit too so I can comment in real time too. Hope you feel well enough for a glass of grape juice tonight
I'd forgotten about those pyjamas :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I once read hundreds of pages of a diary only to find, when I got to the end, that the person had decided not to continue. Like reading a novel only to find that the last pages have been removed and you never get to find out who dunnit.
I'm still a bit under the weather but not enough to keep my off the grape

I worked all day Friday and yesterday but have a day at home today.
Still struggling to shake Mr F's bug so hope I'm ok by Friday when we travel up for the wedding. Still some issues there I'm afraid - it seems providing a vegetarian meal for me is a problem now. I've been asked whether I could 'manage' the meat course
I was hoping to get some painting done today but I'm not sure I feel up to it. Might just have a lazy day. I'm working again tomorrow so I'd better make the most of things.
Hope you're all having a fabulous weekend.

Hadn't read to the end:mad:
Can't believe this is a real request nowadays!! *just* a vegetarian meal is almost a simple request nowadays - if I invited the guests from my wedding 21 years ago now (and I had 3 vegetarians there back then) I would have vegetarians, a vegan, 2 lactose free and a gluten free and my maid of honour has a nut allergy- and that's just the ones I can think of off the top of my head! I would have thought everywhere can provide a vegetarian alternative (even if sometimes they are rubbish alternatives)

Ooooooh Fortune I'm really cross in your behalf. Blinking cheek - I can send Mr T in to *sort them out* if you like
Greying can prepare a feast, I can collect and deliver :rotfl:
Totally rude - not even thoughtless, just rude.
I'm off to make a cup of tea and will be stomping.......

Thank you kind friends. I was so looking forward to the wedding but after all the slights I would really rather not go. I will of course for Mr F's sake but I'm sure there will be more issues on the day.
It's just made me see how unimportant I am to them.
I wouldn't say anything to ruin their day of course but I shall never forget how I was made to feel about it all.
I had a very lazy day yesterday but did get a few bits of paperwork done. Replaced some cosmetic items and managed to get 20% off as well as going through TCB :T Also came in under budget on the grocery shop so have transferred the remainder to the en-suite fund. I'm up to a whopping 0.6% now :rotfl:
Feeling like I'm on the mend at last. Working this morning but will start another painting when I get home. That will cheer me up enormously.
Have a great day all
