  • Well done you. 
    If 💩 wants to sulk then quite right leave him to it, you're there making sure people don't get maimed or killed, if he's had a tiny hurt to his pride then he can count himself lucky can't he

    Thanks @KajiKita; what a day! It's ludicrous; how would he be reacting if numerous horrific injuries were the outcome of his slovenly attitude? Quivering lip? Excuse me while i look for my baton as I can surely hear the orchestra of tiny violins tuning up.   Sweet dreams love Humdinger xx

    Urgh, so sorry you're having to deal with all that nonsense. Hopefully he will grow a bit of a backbone and a bit of sense soon!

    fair dos to supervisor for addressing the issue in an adult matter and coming up with solutions / improvements.  

    As for the sulking child, leave him to adjust to his world and talk again when you are calmer.  Rhetorical question but why don't people get there are consequences for actions.

    Hope the PC drama and the days stresses sufficiently exhausted you for restorative sleep rather than tossing and turning and over thinking.    
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Hope work sorts itself out - or, rather, individuals within work give their heads a wobble and start seeing the bigger picture.

    KajiKita - I'm sorry to have hijacked your thread with my query regarding nutritional yeast (brands), but thank you to everyone that made a response - it seems like the 50p financial 'saving' isn't worth it in quality terms.

  • Well done you on brilliant work, and putting your foot down with Mr KK.
    Completely understand the self employed soldiering on as its only you though. Glad he saw someone at least.
    While it's expense and possibly hurtful to his pride, are there any things in disability/elder catalogues that might help? While not the same thing, for example my mum found with her arthritic back that buying booster cushions (in classy tones and style obvs) helps her soreness and mobility getting up from seats.
    Bet you can't wait to bust outta the PC soon!
