It's good to know there are options out there. I've had some better nights, so won't go now, but if it lingers for a long time I will. "If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney2 -

My sleeping is still hit and miss, but I had a lovely 6 hour stretch last night which was a delight!
I was planning to go in to the office today but little miss was home feeling unwell, so I didn't make it. She seems fine so she'll be back to school tomorrow and I'm going in then.
We had a nice weekend. Friday I went out again with colleagues - it was a lovely evening and I caught up with some ex-colleagues as well which was great. Some have offered help and references so I was quite touched. It's been lovely to see the support and outrage on my behalf, and I've had some really lovely things said to me which is a nice little boost.
Saturday we went to Exeter to have a mooch around. It was nice to see the Christmas market too, which we've considered for a couple of years but never made it. We didn't realise it was on. We also went to the Swedish store but couldn't find what we wanted, so I've just ordered it online.
We still haven't done the final coat in the bathroom, but I've booked the plumber to come and put the towel rail back on so we've got a deadline for early December.
I'm also trying to book the boiler service as we got offered a free one this year due to them changing the installation date last year."If you can dream it, you can do it". Walt Disney6 -
Sorry to read the work situation is still unresolved. It’s dire how they’re messing you about 😠 I guess your lack of sleep is understandably linked to this.I really hope something is firmed up soon.Work aside it sounds like you’ve been very productive getting things done around the house. My DD previously had a very dark purple on her bedroom wall, I bet it will look fabulous in your bathroom.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I think much of my sleep is related to the work situation. It would be much easier if I knew one way or the other for definite. We're not due to find out until early next year, assuming it all remains on schedule.Sun_Addict said:Sorry to read the work situation is still unresolved.

I do love the purple, I just need to get it all finished and tidied up.teapot2 said:Good to know there are those who do appreciate you x
Out of all the rubbishness that's going on, this has been the best part. I do sometimes feel a bit of imposter syndrome so hearing all the good things said, particularly where people have no obligation to do so has been a real boost.beanielou said:Glad to hear that people are offering you support.
