I thought they did understand, thats why I was so disappointed to find out my manager has gone to the Dr behind my back. The reason for this was because I didn't go to the toilet for an hour and a half when he visited me!!

Its very difficult when your symptoms/pain/discomfort are invisible, and you appear to look fine to people.

I'm also wondering if its because I went on holiday - pre-booked and not a secret, and checked with federation it was still ok to go. Basically I was lying around on a cruise ship rather than lying around on the bed at home, but bladder played up a lot whilst away so definitely curtailed things like getting off in port.

I think some managers are still of the opinion that if you are off work sick, you can't leave the house for any reason whatsoever.

Anyway, will let Federation do the negotiating on my behalf, but have decided that I will ask for 2 more weeks off sick, then get my GP to sign me back on with restrictions (she has already said she would do this) regardless of what work say. I need something to take my mind off things, and I am just going to go crazy at home.

Don't recall that one, but I am struggling to get back into comping. Have made myself sit here for the past hour doing a few, got about another half hour to fill so a few more coming up!

same here and finding it very hard work.

My study is on the dark cold side of the house which is miserable on a day like this. I also ought to be out doing my walk - those are my 2 main reasons for hardly making an effort this morning.

In theory I could work on the ipad in the garden while its so nice, very few of those days left now, but its so much quicker to do this sort of ting, flick endlessly between www pages and autofill on the main computer

The new postie lady is only bringing carp now and I know that as soon as I concentrate and put some real effort in, something nice will arrive within the 1st week.

This is so true ladyshopper, I hope something gets sorted without too much anxiety for you, that can't be helping. :A

I've had a limited edition proof copy of the new Nick Hornby 'Funny Girl' arrive this morning - does anyone who does comps remember this as a prize from somewhere - I am wondering if I am supposed to read and review it for somebody.
If I keep it for reading when we are away I won't get it finished, huge thick paperback and we are only away for a week.
Anyway first win for ages, need to get my butt into gear.

I know I said before that I hadn't got this, but I have to eat my words, it has just arrived Had to use a company name for this one so it came to my OH's company, can't think you have to review or anything though!

I must have just entered about 30 competitions, I am taking the arrival of the book as a good omen. As it is limited edition proof copy it is going with my signed books to keep it in good condition.

OK, so the mystery deepens - so its something we have entered very recently, maybe even in the last week or 2 as I've only managed a few hours

Just have to get the e book and read that instead
