    Hello everyone - I'm stuck at work; but I've no more exams to sort out until next July so I can get cracking with the debts for the next 7 months. I'm dreading my vet's bill (had to have ugly-cat put to sleep after a weekend of treatment) but otherwise life in Leeds is the same. We're off to the baby memorial service on Sunday but hopefully it won't be as bad as last year - felt like I'd gone ten rounds with Mike Tyson!

    tigtag- hope the exit interview goes well. At my place they'll hold exit interviews then do nothing about the reason everyone is leaving!

    IA - enjoy feeling flushed and good luck with ebay!

    OO - one car at a time is all it takes to declutter (and get more money).

    TigTag, your exit interview may have nothing to do with your passing negative comment, so don't worry. Exit interviews are getting more common, they help companies identify why staff choose to move on, so it is only for the company's benefit, nothing to do with your reference or whether you are about to sue for constructive dismissal.....or that's what they're supposed to be.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Yeah, OO, I know ~ however (:rotfl: ) no b-ugger else has had one in my time here :eek: :eek:

    To be honest knowing that it cant affect my reference I dont care, it means I have less time to pretend I am working :p:p

    forgot to tell you that Ste got a call yesterday saying that they were expecting stock yesterday or today to sort out the stock problem. Apparently we should have ours by next week.

    Sorry to hear about the cat. And I don't know the story behind the baby memorial service but you really have my sympathy there, hope it isn't too hard for you.
    Trying to sort my life out, and I'm going to get there!

    :grouphug: to Cat4772, thoughts will be with you on Sunday.

    Having a nearly NSD - only £2 for badminton tonight. Am making chicken soup from some chicken portions, leeks & potato - can't wait for tea time!

    DS2 had dyslexia assessment at Uni, they think he should have full test. Pity the primary school didn't think the same 10 years ago!

    Have a good day all,

    Love Floss xx

    Floss, only way I can have NSD is to leave my purse at home! Good luck with DS2s assessment. Remind him to let his course organisers know the outcome especially at exam time (nothing more annoying than finding out on the day that a student needs 15 minutes extra per hour at exams but the disability office hasn't let us know:mad: - and yes, it happened at yesterday's exam!!
    Tigtag - of course we care and you MUST let us know.

    I'm taking it nice an easy today (I've *forgotten* to take my phone off the answermachine and my emails have out of office until tomorrow;)).

    Good Morning!!!

    Seems like today is looking a little bit brighter for everyone, and its another day closer to the weekend! :rotfl:

    I had a good day yesterday (NSD) and i earnt £30 (an extra £10 than i was expecting) doing my part time job, which was fab. I have another shift tonight so hoping i earn another extra £10! :j

    I am going to see my bank today, but i WILL NOT sign on the dotted line for any extra loans or anything, i just want to see about them helping me out with something with a lower interest rate (you never know they might be helpful!! :D )

    Debt: just my mortgage :D
