Gardening and meals sound positive

MovingForwards

Thanks Skinty and SH

I had a wonderful time in the sun. Had a second session replanting strawberries, sowing celeriac, more kale, spinach and beans. TomBo found a growing spud and runner bean in his compost, both were put into the garden.

TomBo's not interested in eating GF, I've looked at the choc macaroons and they're half in his and my treat box, but I'd imagine they're mine. He's started looking at what's available for me as it does seem to be making a difference.

Today is going to be a busy one!
- potentially visit A&U and it's uncles cake day.
- visit garden centre, must find voucher and think of what I want.
- visit SIL and take stuff for furballs, drop some marigolds off.
- gardening; sow more veg seeds, flower seeds and whatever I buy at the GS.
- shower, eat and watch TV.

Love the vibrancy of marigolds. Would be great to get IBS under control

Thanks SH, not when they've self-seeded everywhere and I'm spotting them in other gardens 🙈

I think Skinty was partly right about my IBS being stress related due to where I'm working, not helped with everything else going on too; I'll find out soon enough.

U&A asked how I was getting on in the job, told them what's going on and TomBo was raging as I let slip about Jack throwing things.  

I picked up 3 strawberry plants and garlic chives from the garden centre. I'll get them in by next weekend. We were out longer than planned.

We had spaghetti (GF for me) with tomato and veg sauce.

Just watching a film, I'll have my shower after.

Yum to spaghetti and seeing relatives at weekend. Wishing you a good week next week.

Thanks SW

Had my agency meeting, said the salary I would want and they're submitting my CV. Another has submitted my CV to another company. I've printed a couple of job specs off so I can draft the supporting statement and apply for those.

I am being bullied by another D, had my suspicions confirmed. Hopefully my resignation will be in soon!

I've started doing my surveys again and opened up a new regular saver. 

It's a nice sunny evening and I've got my feet up. TomBo is cooking spicy chicken curry with rice.

So sorry to hear about the bullying. ☹️ Can you not go above their heads to the main D who supports you? Hope it stops soon. Food sounds nice

Thanks Skinty, I can't without risking another's job, the main one wouldn't hear a bad word said about this other one either. I'll be leaving them soon enough and I won't be the last to go. It's still an employee's market up here for the jobs I'm going for.

Breakfast was a banana smoothie, lunch vegan lentil and veg curry, tea was tandoori chicken and rice; I've already said he has to make it again. 

Got a long weekend coming due to the BH, not sure if TomBo is planning anything or if we'll just have a potter in the garden and get ice cream 🤫

Love bank holidays. Smoothie sounds lovely.

Thanks SH

Today is double banana smoothie, vegan veg and lentil curry with GF pitta bread, grapes and nuts for snacks. Don't know what's for tea.

BH plans are gardening, ice cream shop, TV, eating and job applications. Couldn't plan a better one 😄
