Morning much needed bank holiday here so I nice to know there is another day tomorrow.

Work is slowly getting better but it's baby steps with the difficult member f staff and so much work for me. Also covering for the one signed off with depression is she doesn't come back on Weds then I am really stuck for the next three weeks. My volunteers are doing lots do covering but there is a limit. Manager holding up ok but she has suddenly got jealous of me and the other friend. Sorted that out with her had a good chat Friday night but then l"lost" third friend who went home in a strop she is now feeling left out. Saw her yesterday and her and I are fine but it's like being 17 again at my all girls A level class.

Why can't we all just be friends and see each other separately if we want to? Suppose to be camping the three of us next weekend with the fourth friend joining us Saturday with someone else. I really look forward to it but third friend is now saying she doesn't want to come. Will miss Captains Day and lunch with frinds from Oman. I don't mind really I think I shall go and see them again next year for a week.

Found a cat outside work it's been living in the bushes for a week. Was friendly at first but now it's sacred and we can't get near it to scan it. Working on it it's black all over quite nice but I couldn't take vit home. Registered it on the Animal search uk search I used to find Jack brings all that horror back. Someone a long way away thought it was her cat we had found but sadly it wasn't.

Golfing tomorrow today gardening and washing the car. So need it. Hope you all enjoy your lovely long weekend.

Work still bumbling along I can copy person with depression came back as ok and now on holiday for two weeks should help her. I'm covering for her but should be ok. Restructure on the cards I will no doubt en up with doing the !!! role until we get some more trained volunteer ones but they are so hard to get trained and keep.

Having lots and lots of fun with my two friends from work seems to work well at the moment. Gym, parties, camping and Friday nights out. Really matters to me and worth it.

Hurst my foot at the gym so can hardly walk really annoying happened on Thursday has got worse since.

Banned from golf in the ladies section for a week as I forgot I had signed up last week. With my !!!!!!ed foot it doesn't really matter. Gym and pt training going really well we go twice a week and thinking of upping it to 3. I can fit in to loads of my clothes and I am lighter than I have been for long time.

Friend from prev job has just lost her one year old Maine coon to pyothorax really horrible and so quick. I really feel for her and have given mine extra cuddles. The stray from outside my bureau is living a life of luxury at my friends I stayed there Friday night and Saturday morning he snuggled up under my duvet he is quite cute sadly not chipped and only one to two years old. Has had the snip though.

Going to Denmark so see family first week of December taking one friend with me(not the manager). Was going from Saturday to Saturday but there is a Xmas party I really want to go to Friday so may have to come back Thursday which is a shame.

Really need to mow the lawn but not sure I can with this foot. Also loads of finance admin crap to do so will do a list and check it later
Renew home insurance dome
Check DH bank account find out what ISA money went done and sorted
Check gas and electric cheaper deal? EDF site down
Mow lawn done
Take fuchsia cuttings done
Vet insurance forms completed done
Plant winter veg


I think that will do there might be more.

Hope you all enjoy your Sunday.

Tired this morning but last night was last twelve hour day at work. Someone else will do the 5 -8pm session then. However if we don't get funding then I will get it back and will have to start work at 12 noon every week not sure I like that.

Work still busy issues with paid member of staff still ongoing I'm doing all the case checking but it's ok learning a lot. Manager and I get on well friendship and work seems to be fine at the moment. Other friend is good fun to hang out with and go to the gym with,

Hurt my foot in a pump class last Wednesday so not been since Thursday really miss it but foot had to rest. Hoping to do some light work in gym tonight.

Money wise overdrawn already but not doing too badly. Trip booked home first week of December taking friend with me for overnight stay in Copenhagen then down to see my mum too.

Cats are lovely and DH is ok but a bit of a pain.

Enough moaning hope you all have a nice Thursday not long until the weekend.

Sorry I've been missing for a while just read my last post and sadly foot is still hurt so cant do classes at gym but have been going. Weight down to 76 kilos and I'm toning up so had to order size 12 jeans as I can't wear the others they are too big. Not been a 12 for s good 10 years. I was 81 in early August.

Work is hard but just after my last post we discovered quite by accident the horrid worker had been giving information about our clients to a third party when she shouldn't. I got all the evidence and did a lot of work trying to work how how horrid wonder could wriggle out of this one. We then found a second incident and she also went off sick to go to a job interview. Finally the board have backed us for holding a disciplinary next week. I don't think they will get rid of her but it's a start. She sadly didn't get the job as that would have solved everything. Manager gave me flowers and card Thursday thanking me for all my support. I did appreciate that as I do have to prop her up several times a week. We still have a great friendship so at least that's all good.

Third friend is staying over she's going sober for October so I thought she could do with a break from the normal Friday night in the pub. We had a nice evening I was in bed by 11 she stayed up God knows how late.

Money wise not doing too bad had to buy some clothes obviously and got some second hand stuff on eBay plus shoes. Been invited to a Xmas do at my old work should be fabulous so that's teo big dos I got to go too.

Also booked tickets for Denmark with friend but that's quite cheap and my uncle is having a party in February where he's asked me to take time off. I'm hoping that will be in Spain.

Anyway lazy weekend coming up as still hurt foot

Hi TG

I thought for a while you had abandoned your diary.

Lovely pics of the cats.

Take it easy with the foot - have you seen the doc about it after this long? don't do what I did and leave a broken foot for two weeks before getting it X-rayed!

Information to a third party about clients, tell the board to get some backbone, that's gross dismissal surely?

TallGirl

Hi Bugslet sorry I don't get notifications on this thread so didn't see your post. Yes we have told the board they have investigated and it is a data breach so all the hard work was worth it. To our minds it is gross miscconduct as she was going for a job at the place she leaked the data to but in my mind she will get a final warning and we can then watch her as I know she will do something else. She does a great job with the clients she likes but the ones she doesn't like gets crap service or worse have their story passed to God knows who.

Foot is still not 100% but i am icing it and it does help. Been going to the gym three times a week but no running or anything that can make it worse. Therefore still no golf which is really annoying but need must.

My two friends and I are still having some great nights out too much booze but it's only on a Friday and last Friday we went mystery shopping just the two of us and I had one beer so I could drive home. The sober for October lasted one week for my friend a shame but she knows she needs to do something about it. My low carb eating is going well it's amazing how nice veg is (I get a veg box delivered) I so love winter squashes I cook a large one and then reheat during the week. Sweet potatoes and French beans also lovely. Almost finished with fruit and veg in garden got spinach leftt, three red peppers and some apples. Been a great year for veg without too much effort really. Next year going to have far more squash my plant stopped after two weeks of productions

DHs birthday is on the 14th but got his presents sorted, also sorted his car insurance, rac cover with cashback so all good.

Manager and I are going to Bristol in Novemer for conference will also be going shopping for Xmas ball dress. I was going to go to two dos but my old place of work cancelled theirs. Real shame as it would have been nice to have gone to. Have my eye on a Phase Eight dress on EBay but would prefer to try it on in a shop now that I have lost weight I could be a 12.

Anyway this is more money spending than money saving so best sign off now.
