It's me!!!!!  I'm so sorry I've been awol!  Thank you everybody for all your posts - I really didn't mean to worry anyone!  Just a mixture of feeling up and down and a terribly busy period at work has kept me away. My MSE RL pal texted me today to let me know peeps had been posting on my diary. 

 I've actually not long logged off from work - I will post an update tomorrow - at the moment my eyes feel like they've had more than enough screen time today!😀
I hope everyone is ok and will catch up with all tomorrow xxxxxx💕

Thank you everybody - it's lovely to hear from you all. 💕 A month since I last posted properly. Wow!

As I wrote previously, work has been very busy - and that's without the fact it's the end of the quarter and one of our manic times in the year.  As Boris has now rescinded his 'Get Back to Work' campaign we are all expected to WFH indefinitely - or at least till New Year. Which means that I won't be handing in my notice and retiring this autumn as it's too difficult to hire and train my replacement whilst WFH. One positive thing is that one of the senior managers is retiring in the New Year and the guy who works with me and my boss is inheriting his clients and his assistant. There is a good possibility that she could also step in for me as well if we also hire a junior to take up the slack. She has been doing the same job as me for years and also gets on well with my boss. So there would be no need for such extensive training. 

So something to think about going forward.

I've been a bit down as well as I was due to be in the North East this weekend staying at DD's. They came back from Scotland when Boris instigated his Get Back to Work campaign as her firm wanted everyone back in the office at least two days a week. But when he changed the goalposts the other week DD's firm wanted all back WFH home again unless there was no alternative but to use the office so they've shot back up to Scotland before everything really locks down!  DD wanted to pay for my ticket but I've put a refund/voucher claim in and am still waiting to hear.  So hopefully I will be in Scotland for the New Year all going well. 

The diet has taken a real downturn I'm afraid - I came off the shakes but have managed to keep a stone off by using the shakes during the two fast days of 5:2. My head just went completely off the full monty - very annoying but at least some of the weight has stayed off. 

Money wise - things have been ok - will give more of an update in my next post. 

Hope everyone has had a good Saturday. 😀x

So pleased to hear from you and brilliant news you’ve kept a stone off 🎉 We’ve been the same at work, one minute everyone back in the office then it’s as you were. Currently it’s WFH for the next 6 months. Don’t mind that as it will see me over winter.

Anyway super pleased to see you back and look forward to your next update xx
