Round.. that would say to me that your supervisor was hiding something she was afraid you would find out. Tell her to do one and go anyway.. you have been invited.. it would be rude to refuse! As the person who has raised concerns it would look very unprofessional for you to not turn up.

Not so much flying as prepping to fly. Travel money done, sweets for plane done, school meeting done, now trying to pick up Mr Flamingo's work sponsorship money from the half marathon on Sun. Then once home its floors, washing and drying, last bit of packing, fridge purge and clean. Busy busy.

Squeaks blue badge has arrived and her MRI appointment.. I cannot register her badge on the website because the system is broken. I have emailed them to complain.
I have 4 baby hats to knit.. I may crack on with those.
I have loaded the DW and have Asd@ delivery 4-5, Pixie has orchestra 4:30-5:30 and Squeak has her cello at 5:40.. Parent evening is 5:40 also.. I am far too tired for this carry on! We are meeting with the SEND team after the parent/tutor appointment and I have a whole list for them.. My reputation must be upheld at all cost! lol.

Hallooooo xx
Thank you iona and piggers xx I'm not sure what the problem is. I've worked with this supervisor for over 10 years, and she has supported me through a lot. It's like I don't know her anymore which makes me think she's either hiding something or perilously close to having a breakdown herself. I do hope not!
Anyhoo. I went to the top and got my answer. So I know what I'm doing. Top lady was gobsmacked that we'd been asked to pick up the phones with no understanding of the new Service in the first place. So I can learn. I want to learn. A huge chunk of my work will disappear on 1st November and I want something in place to keep me busy and out of the realms of redeployment.
Today was extremely busy so it flew by. I'm now home, unpacked my lunch bag, changed into my scruffs and having a coffee.
Hope you are all well or getting better if ill.
What's the best thing to get rid of black mould in the bathroom? It's not bad but it's so unsightly and I want it gone.
Hugs to all

A better day today than the abysmal non-event that was yesterday.
I cleared/cleaned the dining table in the kitchen, wiped down the tops, cleaned the appliances, swept the floor but didn't wash it as it takes ages to dry unless I can have the patio and back doors open to get a good through breeze. That wouldn't have worked with today's weather. Did some admin and as a bonus, I cleared the fire grate (it can go a few days before it fills up) and dusted and swept the living room floor so I feel quite smug with myself.I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Round…great work re the job and great advice from Iona and piggers.
Astonish do a mould remover, or anything with bleach in or neat bleach and an old toothbrush
I am beyond pee’d off at some people…well their behaviour tbh. and also stunned that someone who sends an email on Tuesday would throw their toys out of the pram because i hadn’t replied the next day…erm I WORK PART TIME HOURS and I was so busy yesterday anyway that i didn’t know whether I was coming or going…and this was someone who wasn’t available on any day this week at all but apparently expects me to be available to answer emails the minute they’re sent. Jog on love!
Anyway i have tidied up, made tea, locked and loaded DW and WM, put ironing away and ironed the next lot and i am having the day off tomorrow so long weekend for Valli!

Morning all
Bit of an unsettled night but not awake enough to enjoy the parkin or cocoa. My stomach is a bit unhappy, I guess this is stress. Another 9.5 day at the paid stuff yesterday but I am only doing a very short day today.
Hope the weather isnt too bad where you are, hope Dizzy is OK, I always think of her when it's very wet. And hope ASB isnt feeling too poorly.
Bit of Flying to do, DH has started repainting the kitchen, i think it's going to take a while.
It's Friday and there is no paid stuff tomorrow!9
