Return of the Girl Racer

GirlRacer_2

Hi there Diz, nothing major has happened just a few little things. She has a very good friend who works in the same department so I'm getting the cold shoulder there, also every night at home time I go to get my coat and always bring hers but she sent me back with it on Monday and said she'd get it herself. They are only little things but I'm feeling so sensitive that they hurt. I'm trying not to show how much its affecting me but when I get home from work I tend to crumble. She's off next week so hopefully if I can get through this week I can build myself up a bit next week.

I've got some good friends at work and everybody that has spoken to me this week has made me feel so welcome that it's the only thing that's keeping me going. The thought that so many people are pleased to see me back kind of outweighs the fact that one person isn't so pleased.

I was really pleased with the regrading, it's a definite and even though it only means an initial £500 per year I'venow got the potential to increase my earnings by over £3k over the next few years so some good news there.

Got both kids off school today as they have both been sick, blinking typical isn't it

Off now to get ready for another day of sheer he!!. Catch you later xx

Well that is below contempt. How ruddy childish :mad:
Good job you've got supportive friends there. It all boils down to jealousy hun. What sad little lives they must lead.
Good news re the grading. Money in your pocket. Us TA's and SSA's have also been regraded. Myself and a few others have been graded the top level and that will mean a good payrise but...they've changed the pro rata from, I think it's, 271/2 hours to 35 hours, or something, so we'll be better off but not as much because of this! Talk about giving it you in one hand and taking it from the other. Ah well. What can you do. Comes into effect in April. All to do with the Council as that's where our pay comes from.
Ebay still been slow, sold a few but not as much as usual, sold a book on Amazon though.
Well GR how fast is Christmas approaching?
Ordered the new Lee Evans DVD and a family pub quiz game DVD from my juicy brains vouchers which I eventually got. They're for Christmas day. DD loves Lee Evans, so do I. Tried to get tickets for his tour, but was sold out. Supposed to be hilarious.
Hope tomorrow is better hun. Soon be Friday.
Take care.

Hi girls thanks for your support. I decided yesterday that there have been so many people who offered me support and were glad to see me back at work that one nasty person didn't matter. She is not significant enough in my life to continue to make me unhappy. I'm going to concentrate on the people that matter to me.

E-bay very slow for me as well, got it into my head that it would pick up closer to christmas but how wrong I was.

Can't believe how close christmas actually is and I'm not stressed about it. Have done really well and am so looking forward to my weekend away where I can get a few more pressies, nothing major to get but if I see something nice I'll be picking it up.

Well Camelot didn;t choose me to win last night so I'd better get myself in to work. Catch you both later. Have a good day cc

Have not long got back from my weekend away with the girls and I have had a fab time. Am really relaxed and content for the first time in ages. Its going to be a good week in work as well as the witch is off for a week so it looks as if the relaxed atmosphere is to continue for at least another 7 days

Bought some lovely things over the weekend and even managed to treat myself to some perfume and costume jewelry. Had a lovely meal out last night and a few drinks so its been a total success.

I have overspend slightly but I've got some Christmas savings coming on Tuesday so I've not caused myself any unnecessary money worries, it was all budgeted for which I'm also pleased about.

Am going to try to have an early night tonight as I've walked so much my legs are aching. Catch you all tomorrow xx

I hope you wrapped up cosy and warm on your weekend away. How freezing has it been? Really pleased you've come back relaxed and ready for work. I bet you had a right laugh, and you deserve it hun.
Catch you tomorrow, have a great Monday.

Thanks doodledo and Diz, and yes mother I wrapped up warm LOL.

Was in bed by 10 last night and am really aching today. That's always a good sign of a good shopping day isn't it?

Can't believe its December today, the countdown really has begun. Have only got one lunchtime meal to go to in work and that's the only thing I've put my name down for. Bah humbug aren't I? I really grudge spending all that money to have night out with people I don't like.

Off to get dresed for work now, catch you all later, have a good day xx

Isn't that what work Christmas do's are for. To be honest GR being vegan now, I don't go on any. I just think it would be a heck of a lot of money for a meal I wouldn't be sure was truly vegan and I know that would spoil my evening. Now who's the humbug?
Nothing like a good sit down and relax when you've had a good shop.
Hope your day was a good, should have been better due to one persons abscence.
