Big hugs, Piq. Please do see the doc if need be and it sounds very much as if it may be needed. Take care of yourself first.

Hello my dear, so nice to hear from you, although not to hear that you are down.

Lots of love and happy thoughts

Being afraid is horrible. I have done nothing except mope [and eat]. Soooooo.....


I walked into a local boutique garden centre, noticed that the coffee shop was struggling, offered to help. Within an hour I was offered a job and start next week. :j:j:jNo more evening work, just five days a week, baking, cooking, cleaning and serving customers.

Okay, the worst bit is yet to come. I'm working evenings this week and will be handing my notice in this evening. I know nobody will speak to me from that moment on, but I can do five more shifts. As I'm weekly paid I'm fairly sure I'm on a week's notice.

Feeling a bit queasy about doing it, but I can't stay there. I haven't had much luck in jobs since I was made redundant. I really hope this is the one where I'm happy.

In other news. I paid out for the repairs to my car £800 that I shouldn't have had to spend. I have massively overspent on the grocery budget, so much so that I have given up adding it up for the month of May. June is a new month and I'm starting again. I have piled on weight through comfort eating and not doing any exercise. I'll have to revisit that

Haven't exactly done much housework either not that I have ever been a housework fan:D

Once I'm away from my current job I can feel safe again. For the next few nights I'll make sure I'm not followed and just count down the days!

I'll post properly now beanie, promise!:D What has been going on knocked my confidence and left me exhausted, far too tired to post, yet I was doing nothing! Strange how the body reacts! Now I need to get my head around dieting or I'll have to buy an awful lot of new clothes, not good...

A new job well done, from what I remember you love your garden and at one time painted flower pots, so working in a garden centre restaurant will be idea for you, I would be careful about who you tell in your old job where the new job is.

Good luck, also hope the horses & colin are ok x

I hope they are not too horrible about it but it has always made me feel queezy so know you feel. I really hope this job is the one for you. You deserve it. I really hope they find this person soon as I can't imagine what you are going threw, do any of your children live close enough that they could stay with you for a while if that would help? Xx

I do love gardening and this is a very small, expensive centre. I'm not telling anyone where I'm going unless I absolutely have to. I think they know they've done too little too late to protect a member of staff, I just hope they look after my replacement better.
