Hopefully you weekend is less stressful and you get some time to relax..

Ali-OK

Morning Lilty

Hope migraine fully gone and you're in fine fettle this morning. Lovely sunny day here too.

You are working hard and hopefully building another bonus for next year at review time

Loving the cashback on the stationery :T Clever!

Levi-

Lilty - it sounds like they might be exploiting you chicken.. the thing of working part time hours but cramming in more work than your full time colleagues is NOT ok.. and something I see quite often...especially when the employee involved has your nature...oh how an employer loves to take advantage of that.You wouldn't believe how often I see this - I am concerned that you are not taking enough care of yourself in this situation - would they have any flexibility to you taking some work home and being paid on an hourly rate for any extra you get done on your 'days off?'.. this way at least you wouldn't be cramming it all in to your part time hours and staying extra time for free .... and if you get any down time on your jelly days, you could do a little and then charge them back for your time..... what d'ya think? Don't be a hero for them and hurt yourself in the process... xx :heart2: xx

please-let-me-be-lucky

Hey you! Just dropping by some hugs for you and Jellytot (and even one for HIM for going for the nappies ). I am drowning in a sea of unpacked suitcases, washing and ironing!! Xx

Hello guys

I've thus far disappeared two and a half hours on emptying out the top of my wardrobe, a cupboard from floor to very high ceiling full of junk and random stuff, and under my bed (again!) - 2 more bin liners full of junk. All the Xmas stuff is together, my paperwork that had been piling up has been filed correctly, and the top of my wardrobe looks less like a tower of doom and more like somewhere i can grab something from quickly if necessary

Also found a bag full of dresses from the days when I used to go out :rotfl: - So Jelly has been parading around in one with the intricate back made of lots of purple straps tied into a knot to keep it at the right level on her. My knee length floaty sparky dress makes a fab full length gown

Oh and I am wearing some reindeer antlers. So maybe all of the Christmas stuff isn't quite together yet :rotfl:

A bit of Aviici, The Nights blasting out from my phone on the docking station some jam sandwiches and an Easter Bunny gingerbread. £0.04 :money:

Today we are mostly winning at life. If you ignore the fact I can't stand up properly, or bend over and have taken 2 dihydrocodeines!! soon be right though! Just too much heavy lifting ;

One more cupboard to do!!!

Ali yeah I am hoping for another bonus since I've now taken on the jobs of two other people who have left still within my 3 days!! :eek: as for the stationary... 5 years we have been ordering from one company. And they pay 5.4% on TCB. Asked, and got but I have told them that if they want me to do it, they have to let me shop around because it is ruddy expensive and we could get it a lot cheaper so it won't last for long!!

Levi I appreciate your concern hon, but my bosses have always had ridiculous ideas of what is possible in a day of work. The only time they ever gave me any credit was when I went on maternity leave... they couldn't keep up with a half of my workload with one colleague diverted full time to my job and my boss chipping in. I was working 3-4 days a month just to keep it ticking over for them for when I came back. That year I got a 32gb brand new iPhone 5 (£600 tax free) as a thank you the month after I came back, and a £3k pay rise :rotfl: - considering I am an administrator, I get paid to work 3 days more than most 'admin' get paid to work full time ... I really am lucky working where I am. I wouldn't have the opportunities I have here anywhere else. And they know what they get out of me. I had a meeting with one boss 45 minutes before I was due to start work yesterday and he asked if I was ok, then when I explained that I couldn't leave until I finished something last night and needed to do the notes for it today so came in early he was VERY appreciative. I can't really fault them. I can fault my own need to get stuff done... but I love ya for caring!!

Right, off to cart the bins down I love decluttering on the days Him isn't here. No arguments about whether I need a box for something that broke 8 months ago... xxx

Sounds like a busy day for you lilt, don't forget to take care of yourself too, don't want you running yourself into the ground :-)

Levi-

Just popping in to say that dd is already asleep! I habe a whole 70 mins til my official nedtime, what shall I do...?!

MeandO

You make me feel very lazy young lady! You wear me out just reading about what you've been doing! I hung some clothes up tonight, only managed to get around a third of my wardrobe sorted before I quit for the night.

Hope you're having a lovely weekend with Jelly and the back/head pains have subsided somewhat. Oh - and don't be working yourself too hard now!


P.S. Can we swap bosses please???
