Morning all. I really hate the mushies stage. If I have to have another fill I am going to cry at the thought of going through this all again. I am on holiday for the next 7 working days although I am going to have to work all day today (from home) and then do bits all through the week.
I have just come back from doing 2 miles around the park on my bike. I am amazed how many people are out and about so early in the morning. Still it was lovely - never though I would say I am enjoying exercise.
Mr TB and I are off to house/cat/fish sit for my sister tomorrow. She has a lovely garden which is her pride and joy and I have been left written instructions in terms of what needs to be watered and when. The cat has her routine and the fish have to be fed at a particular time each day. I am going to need a holiday to recover from this one! It will be nice to have a change of scenery - at least if the weather is nice we can sit outside and enjoy some fresh air. She has a wii fit so I am going to try and do a little bit on that everyday.
Oh well - back to work. Have a blessed day everyone.

Morning all from a wet Brum. Mr TB and I arrived yesterday. Unfortunatley we were a little later getting here due to work issues - even though I am supposed to be on holiday. The cat was upset with us for not getting here on time for her lunch. She spent a lot of time ignoring us - or so I though until I ventured down the garden to see what was wrong. Now admittedly I did not have my glasses on but I saw what I thought was another cat but in fact was a rat. It was nearly as big as the cat and they were having a face off. Needless to say I was out of there. She stayed down there for most of the rest of the day until she finally came in at 10 pm. She has gone out again this morning after I fed her. I am glad she is keeping an eye on things. I have never seen a rat that size before and do not want to see it again
I have been called into work this morning for an emergency meeting this morning to do with Ming's departure. I am really concerned about it but will have to just go along and see what unfolds.
I am hoping to do a bit on the wii later on when I can find what my sister has done with hers.
Have a good day everyone.

Well having spent all morning at work I am still none the wiser. It is still not clear if Ming is going and they have now pushed the whole process back until September. They have just told me I cannot replace a post where my team member moved to another team so I am peed off about that as I am still expected to deliver with less resources. I think this is how the public sector is moving. The uncertainty around the future is so worrying. No wonder my band is in over drive. So far today all I have managed is two cups of black coffee and an actimel. I suppose part of this is being away from home and out of my normal routine. I am not feeling hungry so I suppose the band is doing its job and I should not moan.

Not going anywhere!
Aaw Tranquil - how stressful for you, Its unbelievable that your place can treat people like that. How can they expect loyalty from their staff if they don`t show them any respect!
Shame you still have Ming hanging around like a bad smell.....would have been good to know that she was really going. Hang on in there hun x
Hope you and Mr TB enjoy your mini-break, although sharing it with cats is one thing but RATS......run for them there hills!
Hope things settle down for you this week and you can relax and start feeling able to eat a little more.
Take care hun x

Thanks Kat and Mazza. Well the cat is mithering tonight. She keeps disappearing down to the end of the garden so I can only assume the rat is still down there. The cat has a boyfriend a huge, ginger tom who comes to visit every afternoon. They have snack with each other and then he disappears. He has been visiting for years. Anyway he didn't turn up yesterday afternoon and her mood was subdued compared to what she has been like since he popped over. My other sister informed me tonight that the cat likes you to stand nearby while she eats. So I just did that and sure enough she finished off the rest of her dinner. Gosh it is hard work!
I have started a new thread about the issues I am having with my band. I have dared not eat anything tonight to give things time to recover after being sick earlier. I hope tomorrow things will be a bit better.
Yes Mazza it would be nice to get things resolved before Christmas - I hope they resolve before I take my long holiday to go and see my folks. I would hate to go away with it still hanging over my head.

TB I'm sorry things are still not resolved for you at work.
I am reading and absorbing.
Been so busy lately haven't known whether I'm coming or going tbh.
Work is mental atm. Have been major tight today due to this pressure.
Now I understand my job and have got myself into a good routine with it I actually do enjoy it, but blimey it's difficult just now, so many new staff in such a small team is having quite an impact.
two more weeks until I'm on leave, but what will I return to?!?!
Home life is mad too, turns out I might be able to claim housing benefit, so am going to try. I'm overwhelmed by the amount I was just quoted on the website calculator they have, I know it was rough guide so likely to be less but blimey it's floored me.
After all the problems my ex has brought to my door lately regarding his maintenance (still ongoing, he's not happy that I'm going to get legal advise, I have no choice as he will wipe the floor with me if I dont) I could cry ref the Hb benefit possibility xxx

Aww Rache - sounds like you are in the wars. Easier said than done but try nd enjoy your holiday and forget about work. There will be time enough to sort it when you get back. I will keep my fingers crossed about the housing benefit. I am also glad you are getting some advice on the maintenance - don't let the ex think he can get away with pulling a stroke like that.

Evening all. Mazza that is a long way to go for a conference - was it good?
Well the time is flying by and the last few days it has hit me just how tired I am. I have not done half the stuff I was going to do for work but I just can't be asked at the moment. It will still be there when I go back next week. Mr TB and I did another long walk today. He is really struggling with his mobility but he keeps going to keep me company - bless him.
Well just when I thought nothing would happen, an email came in late this afternoon and I have to submit my application for my job a week tomorrow. Bang goes the weekend. They are still assuming Ming will be leaving in the way the have framed it but it does not look like it will be at the original scheduled time - so I am going to remove my ticker as it is giving me false hope. I am still betting that she will not go at all:sigh:
They are talking about slotting people in where only one person applies for the job. Looking at it, the only post that is likely to apply to is mine - so I may escape having to be interviewed- but knowing Ming she is not going to make it that easy for me. At least it will be done by the time I am due to go on my big trip - just.
Off to bed now. Have a blessed night all.

Goodness TB and Mazza the joys of restructuring and applying for new jobs!! I hope it all turns out as you hoped in the end.xx
Well it seems I've not been paid wftc for my eldest daughter for nearly a year now, which I discovered two days ago as the amount I got went down so much my rent didn't get paid!!! I tell you this week can jolly well disappear down the plug hole as far as I'm concerned!!
Anywho...... guess who will now be getting a years worth of wftc for her eldest daughter back paid!!!!
I cannot tell you the relief this brings, between that and thinking I might be able to claim the housing benefit I am so overwhelmed I can't put it into words.
Not cycled much this week and yoga has been cancelled so been a lazy bean.
Oh well a well deserved rest me thinks.
