Resignation rescind request has gone in...union contacted about that, too 'just in case'. I'm taking tomorrow and Thursday Friday as sick days and refusing to send any planning (other than what has already been done) because it's 'stressful'.

Oh Valli, there are no words, but I am here in spirit supporting you all the way x
Work was tough, I managed to get a casserole in the sc before I went in. I have also changed our duvet cover and worked out that DH has earned enough to keep us solvent for another month even through he is not feeling well. Need a new tyre on the car so thats a job for tomorrow and my brother is visiting at the weekend so I need to plan food.

Valli - there are no words my friend. Adding myself to the list of ladies who are here for you anytime... if you want to text me just send me your number and I’m here for you lovely. You’re not a million miles away so if I can do ANYTHING at all you just say the word.
Long long day. Wine and bed now. Big love to you all, my friends xxx

Sending you lots of love and gentle (((hugs))), Valli. I am so sorry that you have this to cope with. Another open inbox here, if you need one xx
We spent more than 3 hours at the horse piddle this morning for DH's assessment, and he is now waiting for blood test results and/or another letter.
I have managed to fly a bit this afternoon: FUPA clean washing, hoovered through downstairs, cleaned the kitchen worktops, and dug up a few weeds, as well as taking Rosie for her walk and cooking curry for tea. However, my study is reverting to RoD.
Tomorrow I am taking my 8yo goddaughter to the zoo for her birthday outing (her birthday was at the beginning of February). I hope I can keep up with her!

Valli my dear friend, there are no words. Please know that my inbox/email/messenger is open at all times if you just want to vent, cry or rant at any time.
I am so sorry it has taken me till now to get round to this but things kind of run away with me.
Sending you gentle hugs Valli, and lots of love.
Errrm flying wise I've put a load of washing on and folded up the lot that was on the airer.
Have a friend coming round today to gee me up with the gutting/packing up of my living room. Have to stay in one room as Dave has taken a battering with his chemo from last week and will be sleeping when he can..poor lamb.

Good morning, a lovely sunny day here after a very little bit of rain overnight, enough to dirty my clean car rather than water the garden.
Bed made, clothes picked up, windows open
Banking & spending checked
Lounge tidied
Ironing done
Must meal plan and go to the supermarket, the cupboards are bare!

Morning my lovelies xx
Slight change of plan. Instead of battling through two more days of the paid stuff and collapsing exhausted into my week off, I've booked today and tomorrow off to give me two days to wind down before my week off. So here I am 😊
I still woke up at 6, but didn't get up til 7.30. I've had two brews and breakfast made my bed and sloshed bleach down the loo.
I cannot tell a lie. I lied!!! I didn't put out the bins yesterday. 😮. When I arrived home I just cba - so I didn't do it. Which means that I don't have to bring them in again today. The height of decadence eh? 🤭
To Do Today List
Shower
Get dressed
Feed the birds
Put out the rubbish and recycling
WUDUPA x 1
WM x 1
Sweeties seed and water
To Do Sometime (so I don't forget)
Pay the window cleaner
Umm- I'm sure there was other stuff to remember but I seem to have forgotten. Brain fog. These extra 2 days were really needed!!!!!!
Love to you all
