We aren't allowed to speak about hospital business to the papers or on social media, we risk disciplinary action if we do anything that makes the NHS look bad 😟this is why it's such a big thing if someone whistle blows, you have be really sure your right and  that you can take the possible fall out 🙁

A letter to the Trust CEO might help though I doubt it. Staff must have decent facilities for their breaks and for a manager to waste their time in that fashion is also appalling.

He treated them really badly too in front of other staff, they had stood up to leave and he made them sit down and hold each end of the tape measure so they could see they weren't 2 metres apart. The trust  placed the seats in that position so of course people are going to sit in them, the seats were also cover3c in bird poo so DD had to take her coat off to sit on so she did t get it on her uniform, she ended up sat outside in her scrubs 😡
When I go back to work I'm going to find out who we speak to about staff welfare

Woke up late this morning due to not being able to get to sleep last night, I wasn't up all night but was late falling asleep. I've so far walked B and that's it, it's another dark dreary day here but quite mild. I felt really sick when I got up but it went after eating breakfast thank god. My chest feels better today than it did at the beginning of the week so I think the inhaler is working. I got out of breath walking B but definitely recovered quicker when I got back so that's an improvement 🎉🎉 I phoned work to say I will be back on Monday so we will see how it goes. I start my new hours next week so only one long day on Monday then two 8 hour shifts so a light week for me followed by a weeks holiday 🎉🎉
Today I need to polish the living room, there's no point in hoovering because there will be bits all over the floor by the time we have done the decorations so I will do it afterwards, I just need to summon the motivation to actually put the decorations up because I really can't be bothered, we normally have a drink of sparkly wine and mince pies 🤢while we do it but won't be this year because we don't feel like it 
We both had one of the ready meals I bought from M&S for tea last night, it was Butternut squash roasted with Rosemary with Pasta in a cheese sauce with croutons on the top and it was lovely, I could taste the sauce which was a bit peppery and could also taste nutmeg but I still need to check if there was actually any nutmeg in it because DD couldn't taste it, that's another funny thing I've had,I can't taste my food but keep getting phantom flavours in my mouth, first it was lemon meringue pie and this week it's been prawn curry 😀 anyway I have decided that the recipe for the ready meal could  easily be replicated at home so I'm going to have a go at making it myself soon, tonight I've got macaroni cheese which I'm looking forward too, it's one of my favourite things to eat so I'm hoping it's nice, I need to have another go at making my own but last time I made it it was not very nice so I don't know what went wrong, it's not like it's hard to make 🙄

How did you get on with the decorations, did you manage to put any up? I've put most of mine up now.

I'm still as disgusted as you about daughter. Not decent facilities for those front line workers. Absolutely awful. 
Has she had a better week? Being shouted at is not nice at all. I hope she's ok. 
Enjoy your weekend OBL x

Are either/both of you in a union. I have a feeling that suitable space for breaks may be a legal requirement but I could be wrong on that.

Is the union prepared to argue for full pension with ill health retirement.

Hope you enjoyed your macaroni cheese. My absolute favourite.

Hope the decorations perk you up. At this rate it feels as if I’ll be putting fairy lights around the builders work bench and ladders. All being well though I’m hoping to put mine up mid December 🎄

She is but I'm not at the moment, I will look into that though, I didn't even think of asking the Union, I'm not sure if there is a legal requirement but it won't hurt to find out. Technically there are enough spaces but not while we are having to keep 2 metres apart, we sit in all sorts of places to have breaks like offices, consulting rooms etc
