I would take the shoes back. The sole should not be coming off. 

I would but it's not a place we go regularly, I can't remember when I bought them, and I have no proof of purchase so it feels like a big effort at the moment. I expect I noted on here when I bought them so I could probably find out if I look back.  I might just email and complain at this stage.

I've got the dread about going back to work tomorrow and feeling like I've achieved nothing over my time off.  At least it's not long until the next long weekend.  I've got no energy or motivation so really need to get back to eating better and moving more!  I think I've been eating too much bread so am considering trying to go lower carb for a while.  I'd just really love for someone just to deliver me all my meals each week so I don't have to think about it!

There are places that do the meals delivery but at a price ££££ 

I hate the going back to work blues ☹️

I was looking the other day, and it costs for a month almost the same as what we spend on all 4 of us!  I definitely can't afford that!  I really just need to get myself organised, and do a proper plan.

My save the change account reached over £25 so I've sent that to PBs and given myself a nice PAD for today!

My clothes arrived yesterday, glad I didn't pay extra for speedy delivery, so I need to go through and try them on and decide what's staying and what's going back.

Much as I felt the dread yesterday, it was nice to get back into a routine and get back to walking.  I evidently need to create myself a new routine for the days I'm not doing the school run to keep it going.

DH is hoping to get his formal notice today.  Given that he's expecting to be leaving this time next week, it would be nice!

I can't believe it's still a week til payday, this month feels like it's gone on forever!

Yes. This month has gone on forever.

Lots of uncertainty for you all.

Nice PAD, especially if it ends up being a winning PB

PAD total for this month should beat January now, so that's good!  It's been a spendy month though so I have been dipping into savings.

DH still hasn't had formal notice!  But it has been confirmed he leaves next week. It's ridiculous.  He's very worried about what's next.

Work is still very busy and it's still hard getting used to the gaping holes left by the staff who have gone.

If there isn't any formal notice can they say leave as soon as next week? doesn't it have to be X time from the date of the formal notice?

He got his letter yesterday with leaving date next week. He should get pay in lieu of notice, but apparently he needs to claim that from the govt when the company is liquidated. I need to get reading to make sure we are aware of his rights!
