    its ok guys, I've not dropped off the face of the planet, been away on business for a few days so not had time to read or post - have however clocked up NSD # 8
    Just posted a pic of my cats, as I promised to about a month ago! White one is Enid, tabby was called Maud until she went to vets for first jabs... now he's called Percy! :D

    Ahhh, kits are seriously cute - and I bet Percy is glad of his new name, Enid can stop teasing him now :rotfl:

    Poor you beanie, glad you're relatively ok. I've never worked out the point of wasps, bees I like - they make honey and leave you alone most of the time. Wasps on the other hand just seem spiteful.

    BDINI - sorry to hear about your work issues, your boss sounds a complete tw*t and wouldn't know the meaning of professional if he fell over it. Personally i like the idea of lamping him one and then pleading insanity on the grounds he knew you were mentally ubstable anyway ;) Honestly though, sounds like he has real issues going on and should see Occ. Health himself (or a good soliciter before he goes to far with someone). xx

    Sorry, can't stop tonight, tired from travelling and emails to catch up on (oh and the footie - Barca and Real :D)

    Thank you all of you so so much for the support, i don't think you will ever know how much it means!
    For everyone who is mad on my behalf, thanks, it has helped me to stay mad instead of melting in a puddle of self pity! it has also helped me to realise that the wobbles i have had when i thought that maybe it was me & everything he said was true are really not the case.

    I still don't know exactly what i am going to do, but i know that i will work it out (with help from you lot, obviously)

    (((((((((((((((((((((big hugs))))))))))))))))))) to the best bunch of NSDers ever!!

    BDINI it definitely isn't you, full stop.

    He's a bully, pure and simple, and bullies have a way of turning things around so that their victim(s) think everything is their fault.

    Don't be one of his victims, you're worth much more than that. Stay mad and don't let him upset you again, if you do then he's won.... and you don't want him to win, do you?:A

    Document absolutely everything from now on and definitely speak to your occ health department, maybe if you do it then one of your colleagues will follow on, it's worth a try.

    (((hugs))) hun

    beanie :eek::eek::eek:

    Maybe next time open the doors and windows and try to shoo the wasp out. Keep a magazine in the car, they're great for encouraging wasps to get the hell out of the car.... and if that doesn't work it will give them a nasty headache.

    I hope you're OK hun, sending you some very gentle hugs and some arnica for your bruises.

    Good Morning :)

    NSD #20, target reached and a never known by freeby before 10-in-a-row. :j I am increasing my target to 23.

    I changed my personal NSD rules so if I spent any budgeted for money it didn't count as an NSD but I haven't spent a penny for a week now, budgeted or otherwise. No idea how I've managed it :p but it has definitely made for a healthier looking bank account and I now have the whole weeks budget money spare :)

    JCG - Cute cats :)

    Beanie - Wasps are vicious little burgers (especially at this time of year) and I'm not surprised you leapt out of the car. Hope you're feeling okay and not too bruised :)

    BDINI - I'm glad you're mad and I'm glad you're staying mad :) Don't let him get you down. He is obviously a bully and remember, what goes around, comes around :)


    Have a great Friday everyone, have a little wiggle smiley-dance001.gif

    BDINI really sorry to hear what is happening to you at work, he sounds like a nasty piece of work who doesn't deserve the extra work etc that you have been doing, hope you find a new job soon.

    I got NSD 11 yesterday and declaring NSD 12 early today got to hit my target. :D
