    I was just thinking this afternoon I need to check the dates on yours else you won't want it soon :rotfl:
    We will have to sort something soon as I will be changing jobs shortly :eek: going from being the best ( their words not mine:rotfl:) at what I do and doing it for fourteen years to knowing nothing :eek:

    Your employer has said this ILTS? :mad:

    I think I'd want to leave my job too:o

    I think it was a compliment TM, as in she was the best doing the job she is doing now. (Fullstop) She is changing to a job she has never done before so it will all be new to her.

    Oh no......have a good holiday hg.....how's the toenail:rotfl:

    The young girl who does reductions in A is clearly not happy in her job.....very surly. The thing is that I never see any arguments or confrontations. People are overly polite. She ignores people who talk to her and if someone asks her to reach for something off the shelf she refuses. If her colleagues stop to talk to her she moans about how much she hates her job.:o

    I was alone with her today and asked her if she was ok and got no reaction at all. I then commented that her job can't be easy at times and still got no reaction from her. No eye contact. Nothing.:o

    I got the feeling that she was making a conscious decision to be unhappy:o
    Toenail looks like it will be coming on holiday with me :p
    One of the ladies at my Pilates class showed a very !!!!!ish interest in it yesterday.
    I want 10p whoopsies.

    Right I get it:D

    Just shows you how the written word can be misinterpreted:eek:

    I should have realised no one could think that about our ILTS:D

    Evening :)

    Thoughts are with mhoc and snap X

    Massive congratulations dr tiny shoes :):)

    TM I hope mr TM is recovering well from his accident X

    Sarah hope hubbys op goes well and glad to hear you have your old son back :)

    Saver sue I hope you are okay and remember someone is always here to listen X

    HG and Mrs Mac I hope you both have fab holidays :)

    Bubbs hope you had a good holiday and well done on your continuing weight loss :)

    Hoe nice of you to remember me ilovetoshop.
    I have been trying to read, but not posting because there are so many people suffering at the moment and I don't want to bring the thread down by just posting doom and gloom.

    Mum is home from hospital once again. They didn't find anything major, but has lots of abnormal blood test, so many outpatient appointments and test to come.
    I had a complete meltdown a few days ago after telling her I could get tired, upset and cross as well as her. She cried and wailed like a wounded animal and looked like she was going to have a heart attack.
    I feel broken and destroyed. Walking on eggshells, but will continue to do all I can.

    Unfortunately when I am really stressed I shop and eat through the night.
    Those Walkers Crisps aren't doing me any favours, sure you're not meant to eat a 6 pack in one go,Salt&Vinegar and Pickled Onion are giving me a very sore tongue.

    Oh Sue....how awful for you. You couldn't bring the thread down I promise:A

    Sorry to hear about your meltdown but it's understandable. I think most full time carers go through this in one form or another. You just get to the end of your tether at times. It doesn't change the fact that you love one another, it just signals that you need a break.

    Did you ever get anywhere with some support?
