Women and cats will do as they please! :)

Hi judi24 thank you for asking! I know you've been incredibly busy.
Yes, I spoke to him today, I voiced my concerns. We managed to discuss fairly clearly what's going to be expected of me and now I've come away having to put the price on it, this will be discussed at a later date. They're getting someone else in to help out in the department, he'll shadow both, me and FD, and we'll appoint tasks for him. I am still concerned at this point however that I will end up with an increased workload. Time will tell and I will deal with situations as they arise. It's hard to tell whether the new person will be any good, my first impression was a no-go but ultimately it was CEO's decision and fair enough, let them see their own mistakes I say. So things are still unsettled and I am in discussions and the money talk still has to be done but I will name my price and say take it or leave it, this is what I expect for the amount of extra/high calibre work I'm expected to do. The ball's in their court then and bearing in mind I am all they have right now, I expect fairness.

There's a few power struggles going on as expected. Staying out of it knowing how I want to come away from this situation. I need to look after myself so I can look after them.

These last few weeks have been pretty difficult to say the least but by the end of March a lot will be resolved. Then come April we just have to implement it.

Again, thanks for asking :grinheart

Thank you judi24 :heart2:

Hello Diary,

I'm back after a bit of a break, well needed and taken just as life prescribed.

A lot has happened, as predicted.

Work is still a little unstable. I've had a pay rise and a reshuffle of responsibilities however there's still some way to go before that situation is resolved. It's all a bit of a mess really but will work itself out.

I've been going to college too, however I haven't done any exams yet. This is next on my list to tackle. I've sat through the material for 3 exams and now it's time to start revising and passing.

Most importantly of all, I have taken up a very clean way of eating. I have always eaten well but this really cuts all the crap out completely. Subsequently I have lost a stone and I'm the lowest weight I've been for at least 4yrs! :j There's probably still a little more to go but I'm not concentrating on weight anymore, just on how amazing I feel and healthy I look. People at work have been asking what my secret is and taking up my advice of this kind of eating, hoping I can spread the word and help people to get healthier and slimmer.

Funnily enough, the diet has given me the emotional strength to ride out the changes that have been happening and still are, I've really needed to pull on my inner reserves of patience and try to see the bigger picture. It's sure paid off and has been noticed by the CEO. So things are heading in the right direction, not without my hard work though which I need to keep up.

Money... ahem... saved some Let's put it that way. It does cost more to eat organic grass fed but it's not something I'm compromising on, not after the results I've had. So accommodating this my goal for June is £900 :beer: Let's get stuck in.

Good to be back and accountable x
