    Coop have sent me my account details. Yay.

    Work was busy. I came home and sat in the garden swing for a while and am cooking a sinful lot of chips and popcorn chicken. :j

    I have quite a bit of work to do but I might wake up early to do it as I am too tired tonight. Today was a NSD. I deserve a rest. :j

    Hello thank you I am so happy. Work was ok, someone upset me by being really nasty and having a go at me but I have written an email to her and our boss and the union saying her behaviour was rude and I wont stand for it in future. If you don't nip it in the bud they get meaner. No way. I am finally starting to be assertive. :money:

    All is well otherwise, most of the work is done in the house. Builder is just going to finish off and then I need to mop tomorrow and we can move the furniture back. Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Plenty of work to do for work. The joys of having a job - which I do love thank goodness.

    That's awful for you SW. Well done for sticking up for yourself !


    We are having a new manager at work and more staff moves, everyone is unsettled again waiting for the news. :( Its good that you love your job. I am glad I can leave my work at the door when I leave work.


    So the end of your renovations is in sight :j I bet it will look so lovely when its finished and all your new furniture is in place

    Hello I gardened yesterday and today I am going to do 'work' work in the garden in between washing (as weather will be gorgeous) and tidying. Builder should finish today??? and I am hoping I can move furniture.

    The weather looks great but it not boiling yet I hope it picks up as I would love to catch a bit of sun. Birds tweeting in garden, insert Rhubarb and Custard music. And the day is progressing well.........

    I'm glad the Co-op application has gone well SW, you'll be a bank tart before you know it :rotfl:

    I'm SO PROUD OF YOU for how you handled the bully at work. Well done :D

    How exciting that the builder is finishing soon - you will finally get to admire and enjoy all of your hard work!

    Hope you have a fab Sunday SW x

    Hello I did some work and some housework too. I might not finish the 'work' on principle as most of it is for the bully. I will stick to 3 hours a day and that is plenty - if its not done I wont cry tears. I don't owe that person any goodwill.

    Tomorrow I should be able to move furniture back into room, visit my ill friend and maybe do a bit of work for an hour or two. It is expected to rain next week so today's sunshine was amazing and has cheered me up.

    I am shattered now, it's been a long day so I might have a nap.

    Hello I moved furniture around in the bedroom today and now it looks even bigger. I like this layout.

    Work was fine. Nasty person was disgustingly nice to me today I just said hello back after a biiiiiiig pause. Someone must have had a word I know one of my friends vvvvv high up did too. I mowed 2/3rds of the grass before it rains tomorrow and am hoping to do the rest at the weekend.

    It was a NSD!!!!!!!!
