    Hope your lazy day is going well, or perhaps turned into a proper relaxation day.
    Getting a trip in a brand new car huh, very snazzy!

    Keep looking and applying, there must be something more stable around. Working 7 days a week and long hours isn't good for you, please find a way to have free time.

    This is normal at this time of year in my job. . I am half way through. Im thinking of taking tonight off and then working at home till the afternoon to do as much as I can. 
    I think my hours will be cut as my boss has seen me so many times today but despite promising to tell me the news direct to my face somehow a visit was not managed!!!! I will hear in a few weeks whether I am in redundancy or  how much my salary is being cut, bet i wont hear that till as late as possible too.

    If you didn't stop today, please do so tomorrow or the weekend. You've got to think of your health.
    Got everything crossed it's not redundancy.

    This is normal for this time of year. My eyes hurt! I took last night off due to tiredness I set the alarm for early but was too tired to wake up. I am going to be busy doing urgent work for the next 5 days but am taking Monday off for the wake of my dear friend. By next Friday most of of my work is over!!!! hurrah! Off to work. Have a  good day all. 

    Normal service will resume in a week. Ps £100 to last me till end of month, all birthdays etc already paid for. No more comfort food at work!  hugs, swxxxx
