    Thanks SC 😀

    A colleague quit unexpectedly the other day and just walked out! I've been given her work to do, which is annoying because I'm now doing two people's jobs, but I have been told some of the customer care work might be taken off me, so if I play my cards right I could end up doing the other job full time (which quite frankly is a walk in the park!) and minimal customer complaints! Fingers crossed anyway! 

    I didn't get round to doing ziffit, we took the dog for a nice walk round the local woods and then went to the garden centre and got a lovely food hamper for my grandparents. Only 2 presents left to buy! The Christmas tree went up when we got home, after the rough time we've had lately, we needed some cheer 🎄
    Ooh - I hope that works out for you.  Doing full time work when it isn't a nice place to work/the work is terrible is always a slog.  I've been doing the same for a couple of years now and seem to veer wildly from "maybe I can do it a bit longer" to being tearful and thinking "I just can't do this for another minute".  Often occurs in a single day and always in a week.

    Fingers crossed you get the other work  :) 🍀

    Bad influences we may be but you know we are right!  New special friend for dog 2 as a Christmas gift, lovely warm cosy bed for little pup, long walks in the fresh air, cuddles on the sofa.  Go on, you know you want to 😁🐶🎅
