    I'm so annoyed with Loon. Next month, the 14th is our 30th anniversary and since last summer have talked about going away for a break. He did nothing about time off and last week mentioned he couldn't have that week off as two others are off!! I said well at least ask to get the day off but no he did nothing and now got his shifts and working till 10pm. He doesn't even see what he's done wrong. Am I wrong to be so annoyed? I'm sitting here with tears falling.

    Ugh. I don't know how much more of this I can take. At the moment fighting the urge to start screaming about how much I don't care about their stupid projects.

    Torry, you're quite right to be annoyed and disappointed.

    Torry - no, you're not wrong to be annoyed. It's incredibly thoughtless of him and I can't understand how he doesn't see what he's done wrong.

    Although it won't make up for not celebrating on the correct day, would it be possible to go for a weekend away somewhere lovely on the 11th or 18th?

    Thanks. He will be working both those weekends but I've found a hotel on loch long for the following week and he's off then.

    Afternoon my lovelies,

    Hugs and handshakes and squishes all round.

    Well wombat here missed her bus get to the blood test and had heeled boos on. So ended up walking a mile in half in them. My poor feet.

    Well got to the appointment just on time. But no time to get a drink so she jabbed me twice and was nearly sent out to to some water. Got a nice massive bruise. Will find out in the next few days if anything is wrong.

    Off to cinema shortly with action man to watch a choice of his film assassins creed. Based on a computer game.

    So need to go and put my face on.

    Have to agree with Tea and Ono about bristol grinding to halt for no reason.

    Every have a good afternoon

    Yours

    Calley X

    Is it wrong to point out that my last three shifts are coming up and I'll be free from Monday morning?

    The builders have started on my house, the private consultant's given me the discharge for my feet, I can come back and re-refer myself any time, I have an NHS podiatrist appointment on Friday morning and I've stocked up with woolies from Sutton Coldfield charity shops for the cold weather.

    I feel quite smug.


    Don't worry, my little jealous ones, something will happen to bring me back to normal soon....
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    I am very jealous Gingernutty, but fear not. I wish you no ill. Bad things happening to you doesn't mean good things would happen to me. I am glad things are going well for you.

    At some point things will get brighter here. This too shall pass and all that. I'm just impatient and conscious of my rapidly declining mental health.
