81% gateway result still to come and org audit in two weeks. Great night last night but suffering will up later and reply properly

Hahahaha:rotfl: Actually I'm only jealous, I'm ususally driving, sot the chance of drinking on a night out is a memory now.

I love that greenhouse, I have a large coldframe, my sweetpeas have pushed through the soil, as have the radishes.

Did nothing myself, as last Weds, I did something to my foot as I was blasted to life by the fire alarm at the hotel and in the rush to get dressed as opposed to appear naked in the car park, tripped over the duvet and have been nursing a fat purple foot and ankle. Plans to rake out under the hedge and tidy the lavender border out of the window. Did read a lot though.

Bustle I hope your foot is better ouch that sounds painfull.

Lovely to hear your have a passion for gardening I do love my greenhouse, even if if takes up a lot of space. My garden is pretty perfect apart from the broken fence.

Work really busy still and manager is starting to freak out a bit which Doesn't help. I know she is going away but we can manage and we will survive I think she is trying to cram in too much. She dreamt I was pregnant so she asked me in all seriousness today and told me it's because she is stressed she must be worried I will leave. Well I'm not pregnant and not leaving. She's off Friday so don't have to put up with it for long and I will miss her.

Done my meter reading £26 in credit and dd stay the same not sure new boiler has made any difference but at least it's not in debt.

So tired don't feel like studying tonight but will have to tomorrow. Watching the sewing bee I do miss sewing really should get back into it.

Pump in airing cupboard are now leaking so waking for plumber to have a look. Hopefully it's just need tightening up. Will turn it back on in a mo as I need a shower.

We went to the doctors yesterday blood results stayed the same but still not back to normal levels so DH has agreed to try harder. He needs to have a cup of tea instead of ale when he gets in. I'm not here to make him do that so good test. I'm ok about the result because it shows he's stayed the same since January and not got worse and it fits with what I seen so he doesn't drink in secret.

Manager now away so I will be busy hopefully horrid member of staff won't kick off she has been really awful lately. Need to change to pc's around this morning otherwise we will only have one on reception.

Friday which is normally great but exam is tomorrow and I am still not where I want to be in terms of revision so really must get some done. Would be nice to leave early tonight but it's so not going to happen.

Pumped fixed waiting for invoice and what was wrong DH doesn't remember, what plumber said never mind.

Want to stay up for Gardeners world but might go to bed. Haven't read the chapters I wanted and it's now too late.

exam tomorrow


Not too nervous but feel like should have done more. Work so so busy nice feedback from volunteer she thinks I have made a big difference snide I started second person to say it's more professional. Happy days.

Anyway must not get too big headed but sure is nice to hear.

Went out for beer after work with other volunteer was nice but good to be home early as well.

Take care

Tahlullah

Good luck with the exam!!!

When will you know the results?

TallGirl

All done it went so quickly I just had time to finish the last one question but got everything done and now it's just the waiting. I am feeling confident but I don't really want to think too much about it. We will know 8th May which seems like a lifetime. Didn't have time to check the spelling either.

DH just back from golf so going to settle down to watch the grand national and then sort slug treatment for garden. Problem is I cannot find my spreader for the hose or the rose for the watering can so thats a problem and the rubarb is being eaten alive.

Booked my slightest but not done the smear one not even sure where the letter is. Tomorrow is chill and gardening it's cold and raining here now.

Good luck with the exam results TG - it's in the bag I reckon:j

Busy but good day at work second of the 6 without manager so far so good. Tomorrow will be fine it's Wednesday evening I have to survive supervising on my own. Have got a helper a volunteer which is great.

Horrid member of staff was actually nice to me today still got one more that's a diva but she's not bothering me just two of the other good ones. All women but what a pain luckily the volunteers let me know what's going on. I recon most of it stems from the horrid one. Getting through all the appraisals and some people are saying some seriously nice things about me and the work I have done. Been there one year tomorrow that's gone fast hasn't it.

Was meeting friend after meeting tomorrow that's now cancelled sadly so will have to head back to work at 4pm. Went shopping at the weekend three work tops in Next £60 but that's to take me from winter into Summer and one monsoon skirt £20 half price and it goes with a top I already own.

Anyway in the bath should really get out just come back from circuits.

I don't know if it's true that men are easier to work with, my feminist side bristles at that notion. I've never really worked with a woman for more than a few months in30+ years. Sounds as if you are slowly getting there; maybe the horrid one can manage to be nice two days on the run.

Have finally given in and will be off to get my foot X-rayed this afternoon after a telling off from the doc yesterday when I saw her about something else.:(

TallGirl

Bugslet hope our foot is better definitely get it looked at it's not good to leave that sort of thing too long.

My management skills were tested today diva woman came in almost in tears (I don't usually manager her) as she is stressed out with work and has been told to take some time off. Her it is not working so she hasn't been getting any emails from us. She asked if she could have a quiet room to sort this out and as it's happened I had a free one all day so she stayed in there all day. The other one was concerned about this and wondered if other people are affected which was nice as I think she is fine and doesn't fuel the diva. Anyway had to leave at one for a three hour meeting and nothing else kicked off. Diva is not in tomorrow and horrid woman is being super nice so fingers crossed I can survive the last three days.

Went out for dinner we got a new chain pub which had 25% off food it was nice and about the same as Wspoons so a nice change. DH fed up with is dad working in the company not sure what to do if DH is ready to do everything on his own great but not sure if he is.

Anyway going to watch sewing be the bed. Got my first three hour supervisor session tomorrow 5 to 8pm just hope it goes without a hitch.
