    RANT ALERT....

    Unbelievably $hittie day at work. Turned my life upside down for the last 2.5 weeks and it's not enough. I now have until I go in holiday to "upgrade myself to remember every single order that passes my fingers on the keyboard. # not paid enough to bother. Really, really, really fed up. I neglect my family and my flying. Do I jump before I am pushed? I'm not entitled to any benefits so it's all academic. I'm working for a pregnant control freak that won't let go.

    When does this person go on mat leave/ maybe sitting it out till then?

    I have done not a lot this morning, watered the plants, I have very smalls tomatoes growing :T
    Dug up last night some spuds from near the fence.
    Daily stuff for today done.
    Cat spent the evening yesterday chasing an ice cube on the patio, made me laugh.

    Have a good day.

    Morning All

    We've been invited round to a friend's house this afternoon so any flying will have to be done this morning. I've got an AF delivery coming between 9.15 and 10.15 so that will need putting away too. My kitchen is a bombsite but I wanted to rearrange my cupboards so that the kids can reach the plates and stuff instead of asking for them all the time when they've made themselves a sandwich or whatever. I don't know whether to start with the cupboards then maybe some of the stuff on the top will have somewhere to go or what.

    Bonnie - congratulations!

    Mumto5 - it was a difficult decision to do those extra hours so you need to decide whether anything's changed and whether you want to carry on or not and whether you can manage without the money. Hugs.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    Very quiet here, DS1 doing another early shift, work me at 6:15 for insect repellant (he's learning). DS2 still asleep. DS3 was in a neighbours garden sleeping in a tent but is home not feeling well, he spiked a rash yesterday which I put down to heat but has a sore throat and temp this morning so not sure now.

    Time for a cuppa I think and a shower and then some light flying before the heat sets in for the day.

    Mumto5 hugs for you, can you stick it whilst you look for another job?
