    thanks SND i'm sat here feeling the tears well up ,i was ill last year with depression & i dont want to be there again ,when my Dh picked me up from work last night he said everyone was worried for me as they found it so hard seeing me so ill &are all worried for me ,i really feel like jacking it in but i dont like giving in & i feel matey would have won ,i told my boss last night that maybe thats what the guy wants to have my job

    Really sorry to hear about your work troubles:(:(

    I hope the meeting sorts a few things out. Don't be too hasty about jacking it in. Try and see if things can be sorted. It could well be that guy wants your job. He sounds like a real horrible person :mad::mad::mad::mad:.

    Be strong. Your DH sounds great. Please keep us updated with what is happening. Thinking of you :A:A:A

    I hope things work out at your meeting hun, but just in case they don't and you feel you cannot carry on there it might be a good idea to keep a secret list of all problems, when they happened, who with, what caused it etc and also the date and time, and who witnessed what happened etc. As much detail as you can.

    Don't tell anyone at work about the list though, keep it to yourself. Just in case the problems escalate and you cannot continue to work there. You might then have a good claim to take your employer to an Employment Tribunal for constructive dismissal.

    I really hope it doesn't come to that though. Lots of (((hugs))) from me.

    take care

    The girls sounds lovely and it is great you have their support. They can help you build up a case against the horrible guy. It just shows it is not you. The fact that you have a witness really helps your case

    Morning all

    Hugs and happy glitching wishes to you all today.

    Not going shopping today am playing with bubsy this morning then when he naps later going to try get eBay stuff ready to list at weekend. Feels never ending there is always something being outgrown in this house lol.

    CL Hun really feel for you i used to work in a call centre and was picked on for months because I was good friends with a couple of people the company deemed to be trouble makers. The managers made my life hell for months even to the point of following me after work to see what we got up to !!!!!! And trying to fire me when I had to have time off for an operation. That was final straw for me tho we got union involved and they got in massive trouble although wouldn't admit to half of what they had done. I really hope you get thru this ok if you need to vent or cry or scream then do it, bottling it up will make you unwell.

    BP love you sooooooo much your updates are fab I have no idea on the choc glitches but will be so easy to figure out thanks to your updates

    Got to teach baby to dust the house now
