    You've reminded me that I stopped my charity donations and did not restart them. Have a lovely day.

    One day left till half term,  I cannot wait and payday in one week I have still got  £63 in account after all bills are paid and after my v naughty purchase of a new waterproof coat for £34 late last night. My current coat isnt so waterproof. 

    I am putting a wash on and hoping to line dry it tonight or tomorrow morning to save some electricity. 

    I am so pleased that MF has left the rotters, i wish i could but have to hang in there. I am actually enjoying parts of my job so am ignoring the bully.  All I am  focused on is the holiday now.

    Coat was a good price and needed in this weather.
    Maybe your nasty will leave and the dynamics will change, bringing laughter, happiness and a more relaxed environment; it was too ingrained at my place.

    Lol the nasty is onto a good thing,  I am planning to stay as I have worked with plenty of nasties before and they always leave eventually.  It is half term, I am taking tomorrow off so I can see Andy when  he visits. Im dashing out to do some shopping first thing though. 

    It is good to be home I have 9 days away from the place. I could have managed one more winter but it is so nice to treat myself!

    They always are ☹️ the saying "it's not the work that makes people change jobs, but management" is so true.

    Have a lovely time tomorrow and savour the 9 days, fill your free hours with happy things.

    Have a lovely break SW & enjoy seeing your friends. New coat was necessary with autumn / winter weather arriving and £34 is a good price 🤗
