    Hope you get it sorted MWC, it's awful when work worries keep you awake.

    Ach MWC that is dire! I bet they don't have a 'I lost hours of my life that I can't get back, because of your supplier incompetence' option on their *Customer Satisfaction Questionnaire* do they?

    I really, really do hope that you can achieve your normal working hours today. It sounds like you have done all that you can do from your side.

    And :j to the good news about Miss LRH - pity about one of her Aunties injuring herself though! Love to all *the girls*

    Hope all sorts itself today and you get to enjoy a nice long weekend x
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    We are all holding you accountable to no work on your afternoon off :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Said supplier sent another howler of an e-mail this morning about a different project :mad:

    Managed to leave work at 13:30 but have flitted between garden and laptop this afternoon... mainly trying to find an alternative supplier ;)

    And now it's started raining :(

    I used to loathe it when work interrupted my home life:(

    Hope you can get some relaxation this weekend

  • I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to chub club tomorrow morning... I've been stress-eating rubbish all week and, without Mr MWC here to tell me to relax, I've eaten a LOT of rubbish :o

    Other more definite plans are:

    - Giving myself a good talking too
    - A trip to JL for a free facial. I should get some samples to try at home but I'm sure I'll spend a small fortune as well...
    - More gardening
    - A walk
    - Some home admin

  • A facial sounds like an excellent plan. Sorry to hear work has been :eek: but today is supposed to be lovely and time in the garden would be a real tonic.

    Best wishes Tilly x x x
