TallGirl's getting back on track diary

TallGirl

Thanks bugslet I'm right now in bed feeling very I'll flu like symptoms so had to take the day off. I really want to work on my application but right now I couldn't.

Once the house is sold and the cats gone I think ex dh will be living in a small property near his dad's and I don't think I would visit but I would still see his dad and his brother. To me ex dh is a different person to the one I knew it's like that person is dead. When his mum died his personality changed overnight and the memory loss started. It was almost a blessing as we managed to get him to cut down on drinking and he became a nicer person than pre his mum dying. Unfortunately that didn't last and I have it three years after his mum died so I did try.

Kind of glad I'm not at work I'm sure that's why I got annoyed with that client and yesterday the person who's back managing everything is quite negative towards some of the things I want to change. I suppose it's like I'm critiquing what she was working with and want to change it. I'm sure it will all be fine just need my holiday but first job interview which is a bit crap.

Well Done TG for getting through what seems to have been a very demanding Weekend......No wonder you are feeling ill mentally/physically draining, but making progress......time to build yourself up....get some vitamins down you girl xx

Feeling slightly better did work from home yesterday pretty full on but today I have meetings I need to make.

Getting more and more difficult to hand over work I know it's hard for her too coming back after a year out. I'm not sure what it is but it's like I'm critiquing what she did before so I've changed it and now she says that wasn't how it was before. It's kind of pointless but conversations have to take place and she needs to get up to speed which she is I'm just finding it a bit hard going. This afternoon I'm working with a lovely volunteer so that will be good.

Not had a chance to email ex FIL will do today not about the house just how are you are you going to sue for the fall etc.

Weekend is going to be completing job application it's almost done but needs fine tuning. A bit of golf too and some shopping plus we have tickets for 50p to see Ab Fab thanks to Martins clean your loo promotion. It's still on if your nearest cinema is Ciniworld and the codes last until November so we are getting more at the weekend.

Almost forgot it's PAYDAY sadly wages are £600 short need to check it was calculation correctly taking my leave left into account plus if I will get any wages for this last week next month or if that's included in this. I'm sure it's correct but I think they might have missed my left over leave. I did end the months really well

Saved usual £550 plus £300
Credit card 1 £115
Credit card 2 £57
Current account £40 left.

Really good I think.

Got into work and the person who I am supposed to handover to has had to rush home which really doesn't help matters very much.


Going to sort my salary issue out and then crack on with some work.

Lovely lazy Saturday slept in felt rough again sore throat and cold still but getting better. Worked on application form DG said I had done it all wrong with no examples from my current job she was right so had to redo the whole thing. Much better now but more to do however she has work to do herself.

Went to see Ab Fab with the loo cleaning offer this afternoon really good and £1. Did go to Nandos before the film but got sweets from the £ shop. Also found my sister birthday present so now all present are sorted bar my dad but I can buy that over there.

Tomorrow more application form, trip to Tesco that cinema offer is still valid and codes last until November so worth it. A little golf I should think DG really wants to.

Early ninth for me hoping I'll get better though.

Work is manic trying to hand over to director not going too well as we are both busy. Weekend spent doing application but Ab Fab was good got more cleaning products so we can go three more times to the pictures.


Friend is visiting today she had job interview our place is a mess but really not able to do anything about this. New guy and girl moved in a bit of a stand off re the kitchen the others are so messy and he has nowhere to put his stuff really. Hopefully sorted he seems nice and very friendly. Nice to have another girl around even if not all the time.


Need to go to meeting now still got to finish off application form but not a lot to do.


Cant wait for Friday over two weeks off possible 4 need a break. Still got a sore throat really not nice.

TallGirl

Interview Thursday at 10am will take a couple of hours as bet there is a test involved which is a bit annoying but needs must.


Really don't want to be at work its lovely and cool here with aircon but feel rough still cant wait to shift this cold.


DG has arrived for her graduation she will be back Thursday night going to be strange without her we haven't really been apart since she moved in. Need some sleep so hope to leave early then tomorrow is last day for handover and then that is it for at least 2 weeks hopefully more.


Hope you are all coping in the heat I am being very bad moneywise lunches everyday at work and Chinese takeaway last night really nice but £26.

Last day at work today I so hope I can slope off early read up before my interview and maybe sleep.

It's a test first, then an informal meeting some of members of staff then interview with the three senior managers I have been working with all year plus the one that has come back .

The staff are likely to be the three I shall be managing one I've met and she's really nice have an inclin about someone else who might be there. They will ask me questions and I can ask them should be fine and the one that's causing me most headache from my side definitely won't be there which is fab.

There is so much crap going on right now they do need me as the person who has come back has so much on and my new role would help out with some of that. Anyway we shall see.

Still feel crap difficult to sleep in the heat too wonder what the trains will be like this morning. I'm quite lucky didn't get involved in any of the Waterloo chaos last night as I can take pretty much any train home.

Money wise not doing great due to less wages but still have the £300 saved which I know should be present and xmas but I've got four birthdays I've bought presents for this month and last month so feel I could use it as spending money in Denmark. Hardly anything on the credit cards and no monthly travel card needed this month.

Prepped for my interview going to have an early night actually finally starting to feel better. Interview is tomorrow at 10am they had one interview today not sure if there are any more after mine as they are each 2 hours. Glad there are more than just me didn't think it would just me me actually.

Miss DG I know I'll see her tomorrow but strange she's not around but she is enjoying herself with her mum.

Starting too cool down so hopefully be able to sleep quite well. Someone is vacuuming a rare sound in our building hope it's the new people DG and I are usually the only people cleaning here as as we're going away we can't be bothered to do anything.:A:A

Washing all done just need to pack tomorrow but I should finish my interview just after 12 my tutor session is at 2 to time to chill out that will finish at 4 then home to pack and maybe take up DG trousers (she's very short) and she'll be home about 9pm then up to catch the 4.09am to the airport :eek::eek::eek:

Then it's finally holiday
