    I think how you're feeling girlracer, is more to do with the weather, as I know lops of people who feel the same.

    The news doesn't help - but nothing I can do!

    Have come home from work early. Left about half past one saying I was ill. Feel so down in the dumps. I called into see my cousin where I spent a few hours and have just got back home now. The thought of there just being me and the horrible girl together this afternoon has sent me over the edge. I just cannot work with her anymore, it's making me ill.

    Have decided I've got to try and speak to my boss again tomorrow.

    Absolutely nothing in the mail again today, apart from a loan approval and some free mobile sim cards from T-Mobile. I have sold another book on Amazon though and I'm set to make about £5 profit on it so some good news there. I'm just going to prepare some Chicken Tikka masala and I've got a Raspberry Pavlova for pudding (thanks to Wendy yesterday for planting the seed in my brain, that's all I've thought about all day).

    GR that is not good. Now it's started to affect you physically you have to try to do something about it. Why the hell should she ruddy get away with it!!!!!!!! :mad: It's not just you though is it GR that feels like this, aren't there some other's too that feel the same way as you do. If you all voice what's been happening together then something should be done. Even if it only makes her a 'nicer' person to work with.
    Really sorry that's happening, it must be very frustrating.
    Just relax today and you enjoy that pavlova hun.
    I'd better make an effort to get dressed.
    Big hug and catch you in a while.

    Thanks Diz, I think it just affected me more today because I was hormonal,tired and I'm really missing boyfriend big time at the moment. I'm lonely as hell without him. My cousin phoned me in work to see how I was and the floodgates just opened. I've never ever been this bad before.

    I keep telling my kids how important it is to not let people bully or boss you around and here am I 36 years of age being intimidated and feeling shaky going into work. In my younger days I would never had put up with this off anybody. The tears have gone now and I feel bl00dy angry. First opportunity I get tomorrow I'm going to my boss.

    Your not still in your jammies are you Diz? You lazy so and so :) Hope you've had a good day. What you been up to?

    Hello GR...glad you're getting angry. That'll see you through it. You just wonder how people can be happy in themselves when they get some sort of pleasure in making everyone else's life a misery.:confused:
    Are you going to work tomorrow?
    Well, I got dressed and went to the sunbeds. But only had 6 minutes, didn't want to overdo it, but it just felt lovely. Then I popped in asda, twice, don't ask,lol and bought a few things. Hoping to maybe have my hair cut before Monday. It's got a bit too long and needs a layer type trimming.iykwim.But it's money...I do feel a bit wishy washy at the mo so think I need it, as a sort of therapy.:D I go through stages were I think I'll have it cropped off but then change my mind.
    I've got some Animal Aid leaflets to post (this is my bit of voluntary work) so I may take Tillie with me this evening. Think there's about 150 to post so I've no idea how long that'll take me, and if we see any cats in gardens, that'll be it with Tillie. Wonder if DS will help....nope he won't I've just asked him. His mates coming round. Do you know all the things I do for them...
    He helped me last time so can't complain.
    Just finishing off my tea and then I'll catch you later maybe.

    I've calmed down an awful lot this evening and don't feel half as bad as I did earlier. I am going to work tomorrow as my boss is back and I'm going to have a little chat with him.

    This talk about sunbeds makes me want some :) Maybe over the next few weeks Ill have a few just to take the glare off my legs. I've not had a haircut for a while. Its quite long and layered and in quite good condition. I never know what I want it cut like so I just get my layers trimmed. Have booked the kids in for a haircut on Saturday ready for school on Monday, DS has a number 3 all over and DD has her layers trimmed.

    I can't believe theres another bank holiday in a few weeks time again, where is the time going. It'll soon be the weekend again.

    Well I've managed to sell another book on Amazon so that's 2 to post in the morning. I can't believe how well I'm doing, wish I'd thought of it earlier. If it wasn't was Sea I don't think I would have tried it at all.

    Hiya GR
    Glad you're feeling a bit better hun.
    If you don't say anything at work it'll just continue to get worse, and that's no good to you is it?
    You must have the magic touch with amazon. I took 3 of my books off and put them on ebay, have till Saturday I think to sell them. Got a few watchers on 3 of my things but that doesn't usually mean anything.
    I'm going to go on the sunbed a couple more times before monday so I look refreshed whether I feel it or not will be a different matter.
    Good Luck tomorrow GR it'll be okay.

    Thanks for the support Diz. I didn't have a bad sleep last night but because of all the crying yesterday I still feel 'heady' iykwim.

    Have had an Amazon payment of £69.50 go into my bank today and am waiting for another one of £52 which should go in over the next few days. Also won £10 on the lottery last night :)

    I normally have lunch with my friends on a Thursday and Friday but I'm working off site from about midday today and I have'nt made a packed lunch! You know what that means don't you, supermarket sandwiches! On Monday I swore I'd stay away from them but as I normally buy lunch on a Thursday anyway I'm telling myself its OK.

    Hope everyone has a good day, I'll report back later with any updates.
