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.

That is fantastic news Rache - could not have come at a better time:hug99:.
You know Ming must really hate me. I got a call from one of the other heads in the unit I am part of. He tipped me off that Ming was actively going ariund telling the heads at risk that they should apply for my post
.
My colleague rang me to find out if I had decided to leave. When he explained what was hppening I suddenly realised that in order to protect myself I am now going to have to apply for four posts rather than just mine and that means four lots of applications and interviews. It is going to take me the rest of my holiday to do the applications in order to meet the deadline of a week today.
I have been so depressed this afternoon. I just don't know why this is happening to me. Needless to say my band is so tight I doubt I am going to be able to manage to eat anything later without risking throwing up.
I will have to pop home tomorrow and hope I can find a document for a job I applied for a few years ago which will help as I can cut and paste out of it. If not it is going to be a nightmare.
Wish me luck.

looking for my mojo
So ming is actively telling people you won't be getting your new job? Have I understood that right?
If that's the case then that's disgusting behaviour for a manager. Surely she could be reported for that?!
I've not been playing fair on my band this week, not exercised as much though did manage a massive 12.63 mile cycle in one go yesterday, boy me and my daughter suffered for it we were both shattered last night. I'm going to ease off the cycling a bit I think, it's exhausting me as well as working long hours. Can't do everything, so got to concentrate on what pays the bills a bit more. I will still cycle too and from work when the weathers good, just lay off the lunchtime rides this week.
Well another week looms. might get me a good sleep before the chaos starts again.
Night all xx

Take it easy Rache.
I am not sure what Ming is playing at but I will find out when I get back to work on Wednesday. The good news is I found the memory stick with the info I needed to do the applications. I had a day off from everything today. Just chilled and read a book for most of the day. I will get up in the morning early and do the applications. Tomorrow is our last full day house sitting. The time has flown by but I cannot wait to get back home.

Hi TB, sorry to hear how fraught things are at work. My mom always said that those who seek to do harm to others, will always reap the benefits of their efforts, but not in the way they think. Hope you manage to get the application forms filled in on time. If Ming continues in this vein could you get her for constructive dismissal?
Sending you lots of love and hugs.

Thanks Rebirth. I was up early even though I am still on holiday to get the applications out of the way. Feel in a more positive frame of mind today to get them done. I agree with what your mom said - wise words indeed. I once remarked I thought she was teflon coated as nothing ever sticks - an ex colleague remarked not even teflon has a lifetime guarantee!

Afternoon all. Thank goodness I am home. I had just about had enough yesterday with my sister's cat - having to water her huge garden and then to cap it all Mr TB had a mini relapse last night. I feel I need a holiday to get over this one.
I still have not started the job applications but will be doing them tonight. Late night but it is the only way as I am in the office for the rest of the week and my brain will not be able to handle it if I try and do it when I get home.
I have been sent an appointment for the hospital on 29 July to get the results of my scan. I will see how things are between now and then with regard to my vomiting episodes. I am fiding the band is tight a the moment but putting it down to stress. On a positive note my doc sent me an email to say she is not going to put me back on the blood pressure meds and will continue to monitor things. It is up to me now to really get this band working for me. Going to get out on my bike later. Have really missed it this last week. Never thought i would ever say I missed exercising.

Thanks Rebirth. I only managed a mile but it felt good to be back on the bike. A little bit is better than nothing. Mr TB is still feeling unwell. At least he can rest and recover now we are home. Thank you for your prayers, they are much appreciated:hug99:

Rache don't go over doing things!
Morning all. I have done 2 laps round the park. Got up really early and was in there by 6.45 am. It was better than last night but still a few people in there running, walking or exercising dogs. There were an awful lot of pigeons and squirrels on the path who did not get out of the way until I was nearly on top of them - so there were a few wobbly moments.
I have suddenly got some energy back again which is good given how out of sorts I had been feeling. I still did not manage to get my applications done and the deadline is Friday. I just do not know why - I need the job but have no enthusiasm right now. I am in the office for the rest of the week and the following 2 weeks due to various members of staff taking holidays.
Hope everyone is well - where are you all???

Hey TB well done on the cycling
I've been completely exhausted this week. Coming home from work and just flaking out for the night!
Going to shake myself up today I ate so much yesterday I was shocked I was able to and yet was really hungry. Some of it was head hunger I know but not all. Funny how I still have random eat anything in sight days!!!!!
So anyway I shall curb myself today. No more exercise this week legs are in too much pain.
Have a great day all

Morning all. A bit of a break may do you good Rache especially if you are so tired. No bike riding for me today. Woken up with pain in my side following my vomiting last night.
I am working from home today to get my job application done. I had a weird conversation with Ming yesterday and I told her how deeply upset I was about the job situation and having to apply for so many posts. I actually confronted her about her encouraging people to apply for my post. She seemed flabbergasted and denied that was the case although admitted there had been discussions and particularly over Monday and Tuesday. She said she would make some calls and come back to me. She did and then I got an email from a colleague apologising for the confusion over information that had been passed to me. I am deeply suspicious about what is going on. However I shall stick with what I wanted to do originally which is just apply for my own post. Ming is in an awful hurry to sort out things as far as the people she manages are concerned - why I do not know. All I want is for the uncertainty to end.
Oh well..time to start work.
Have a blessed day all.

Hi Sarah - where you been???
I do not know what to say about Ming - work life is like living on another planet - I am clueless.
How was the fill? Hope it gives you the restriction you need.

I got so disheartened by my lack of restriction that I decided to take a break from thinking about my weight. However I'm feeling much more positive now.
My fill was really straightforward, which was a lovely change and over in minutes. The consultant discovered that 2mls had disappeared which explains my lack of restriction, but apparently this can happen with problem ports due to the amount of poking involved (sounds rude hehe).
So what's new on here?
