    Just checked the bank and notice we had received £25 compensation, mr el bought some shares years ago and had issues with them, I put a complaint into the company and they fully agreed with the situation I reported, they sorted the issue and paid £25 in compensation.

    Have transferred the money to the Tilly tidy account and have reached the next £50 to be sent to where I want it :)

    I do like the idea of waiting till I have £50 then dealing with it :)

    On the leg front, it still looks disgusting but I think finally the antibiotics have started working :)

    I was off sick last month Skinty so couldn't be sick again if that makes sense ... I would also not be paid :( can't afford to be off as this will be my holiday wage

    No, what I meant was they must have folk they could call because folk get ill and especially in your line of work you can't just work on if there's a risk of passing it on to clients, if they really have no cover that's pretty risky planning!

    That describes it very well ... Risky planning

    And you would honestly be surprised at what you are expected to work with, the company did away with having agency workers a long time ago, said it was costing too much, there have been occasions where a staff member has had to do 24 hr shifts due to shortages ( not me I hasten to add )

    Yep beanie think the antibiotics will do the trick :)

    The first bill is due out tomorrow so hoping for a wee Tilly tidy from that :)

    Last night shift tonight thank goodness, then I am off till next Thursday, were thinking about things to do this weekend but can't think of anything that I can manage, I want to go walking but am a bit concerned with the leg, want to go camping but worried about getting bitten again, but we Deff fancy doing something different.


    Oh and sold another book yay :)

    Now that WOULD be something different :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
