    lamewolf, I can confirm that is is standard 'best practice' procedure now that that we evil Catberts do a RTW interview for every sickness absence. Complete formality but it has to be done, we do making sure we know if you need support to return (H&S/discrimination stuff mostly), and an opportunity for people to say it was stress, my manger is evil, etc. Generally box ticking by the more audit driven of my profession :o. Really not worth fretting, HTH

    shortbird, spot on. It depresses me but very accurate.

    A day off flying? I think I've had a week off :rofl:
    But I have done more in the garage tonight. Lookin good!!!

    Also got another wash on and cleaned up my mess fom dinner.

    ETA hung the washing on airer, brought some stuff upstairs to rehome, and did 10 min in DS room. Just putting toys away, he's not old enough to be a complete slob yet. I've put his toy crane in his room, so he'll be quite giddy about that when he sees it...

    Hello folks

    Spent yesterday on a coach trip to Bridlington, waved to Flyladies along the journey.

    OH has had the day off today and we have bought DS2 some new trainers. Last week he was measured and fitted with size 1 school shoes (Clark) and today he was measured as a size 13 (Clarks) the size he has been since Christmas. I am now confused do I take the school shoes back and get them checked?

    Dailies done
