I have

read back over my blog and realised that that shit of a woman has dominated my life for the last OVER 12 months. IT STOPS TONIGHT.

I hope.

I pray.

I am going to start to enjoy my working life again - SHE WILL NOT REIGN SUPREME.

Things are going to change. She won't like it - but she doesn't like me being a nice person anyway.

Starting tomorrow - NO MENTION - I'm just going to get on and do my job.

End of a lovely week. Well not quite.

Have scrapped today (Saturday) unusual for me, but we've had a very hectic week and I feel shattered.

Bad news that Key has to pay nearly £500 Tax - I'm getting Nearly £400 back though - but still have a bill of the accountant of about £300 what a nightmare.

MUST get my hair dyed tomorrow and maybe up to rented to clean the carpets??? BUT I think I want a more relaxing day as I'm back at work on Monday - SHIT . Well, MOnday isn't so bad it's Tuesay I dread and will dread even more because boss lady is off and so I will have to contend with Mrs Nasty who thinks she's the boss when bosslady isn't in. HATE HER.

So Tea time? What to cook.

A week off - we needed it.

Me Moos


I say a week off - Key had to work Tuesday and working tomorrow Friday.





I had to work on Monday and Wednesday and Friday - Monday at work work, and Wednesday and Friday doing reflexology customers which I had to cancel over the move and Christmas and the bad weather.





So I really on had Tuesday and today off - but it was very nice.





AND .................... Key managed to get my curtain pole up on Tuesday, and my blind in treatment room today and the tracks for the vertical blinds in my bedroom today too - I've managed to get half the vertical blinds cut and up and they look very nice.





Everything seems to be costing a fortune though.





3 treatments tomorrow and Keir wants to come over to go to game too - and I have to take and pick Koz up. No rest for the wicked.





I managed to finish my moos and was REALLY pleased with them.





I now want to get on with my 52 in 10 - that's 52 LO's in 2010 scrapdolly is doing on UKS. Now, I'm not doing 52 LO's - I've made a little book and I will do my interpretation in that little book for the 52 LO's - I still have my 365 journal - 365 pages which I really don't know what to do with. I can't just throw them all away - I need to deconstruct each page, save the photo's and save the embellishments where possible. BUT that will be a massive task. I can't keep them though, they're 12x12 albums - loads and loads and loads of stuff.





I also got all my stash tidied and sorted and it's made me feel much better.





I have settled real well here. I love the house - if anything I wish it was slightly bigger, but I have gotten used to it.





Now got to get down to the other house and sort the rubbish and clean carpets. We are waiting on a chap sorting out the shed for us too - once that is done Key can bring up the stuff we are having to store !





One thing after another one thing after another one thing after another.





'sad face'

Tired and worn out

SHE came in Tuesday and within a couple of hours was going on and on about my holiday next week. I told her I wasn't arguing with her in 2010 and if she didn't like it - go see boss lady, she did and boss lady says we can't be forced to do each others days - SO WHEN I MISSED MY MOVE DATE BECAUSE MRS NASTY COULDN'T DO MY MONDAY, THAT WAS A PILE OF SHIT THEN !

Hate her with a vengeance.

AND ..................... Key had car accident today - thankfully they (him and Koz) were OK. God forbid. I don't know what I did wrong in this life to have all this fucking shit day in and day out.

we found the lake !

quite by accident - but when we first reserved our house back in July, Karen the Sales Woman said there is a nice lake to cycle round, or walk the dog round etc - well we found it today, went for a walk and stumbled across it really.

THEN we put the new wardrobes together. I didn't expect the wardrobes to be much from Argos - it was a three door robe and one of the 'reviews' on this wardrobe said 'try as I might I could not get the doors to match up......................WE HAD EXACTLY THE SAME TROUBLE AND we couldn't get the back matched up either - obviously completely out of true - they look 'complete and utter pants'! BUT it;'s a wardrobe. So now we have to search out some wardrobes for Korin too - and NEXT year when we have the extra money we can have some nice wardrobes built in to that top 'dressing' room - as it is this month sees us pay the LAST rental payment for Cupronickel.......................£750 for absolutely nothing. JUST hope we get our £800 holding deposit back which will be some kind of compensation. FINGERS CROSSED.

We still have to go up to the rented to get the place clean - and put the two chairs 'out' for the bin men. We HAVE to get a shed errected here and the 'extra's which are at the rented into our shed before 23rd February, so we have ABOUT A MONTH. The last month has flown by, so we had better get our skates on.

Thinking of having 3 days off week after next so we can get curtain poles up and blinds up and the like....................we just don't seem to have much time for anything these days.

Good news that I got my child benefit reinstated, didn't realise that it had actually stopped and when I rang to change my address they notified me that it had stopped and they backdated payment and that went into my bank on Friday, I AM EXTREMELY IMPRESSED BY THE CHILD BENEFIT PEOPLE. I am going to SPEND half of that EVERY MONTH COMPLETElY AND UTTERLY ON MYSELF. I'm not selfish, all my salary goes into the house - I think both Key and I should START to spend something on ourselves - HE can have the OTHER HALF.

It was nice to go pick Keir and Olivia up for shopping yesterday. I gave them twenty quid, poor things !!! I'd love to win the lottery and see them OK, See Koz OK, See a few friends OK. Dream on.

I gave Koz her driving lesson money too - AND paid for her application to Uni - it's going to be an expensive expensive expensive time.

Back at work tomorrow....................say no more, it's not too bad tomorrow because I'm on my own. DREAD Tuesday unles God can work some more magic for me. THAT'd be real nice.

Not in the mood at all for crafting? Think I have too much on my mind from everything else.

There IS a God.

I must admit that going to sleep last night, all I could think about was HAVING to go in and see HER yet again today......................she is just a vile woman.

Well I said 'Please God, let it be a good day & if possible no ... '. I arrived at work and the boss man said '... is working from home today' - WELL I just couldn't get my hat on - how you CAN work from home in the NHS is beyond me - BUT thank you God because I had a WONDERFUL DAY.

Yippee - Pray that you can see your way to making her have ALL of next week off too - now that would be a miracle.

Laugh

She is making herself out to look so stupid with the things that she is upset about with me! AND I am loving it. I'm not antagonising her, i'm just getting on with my work and she's hating the fact that I can just get on with it now rather than keep having to ask her - although today I asked how to do something which I had forgotten on the word processing and she was so bulshy and nasty and sarcastic. Hate her, but coping with her now.

AND I GOT MY MELTING POT - yippee......................not very good results though yet, but it's early days and I need lots of embossing powders = different colours and the like. Looking forward to playing when I have more time.

Things are settling down at home - feel more comfortable now, sofas ordered, need to get a shed erected so we can clear out the rental garage.

Weather still diabolical though.

SHE back today

It was hillarious.....................she comes in and very nicely says good morning to Geoff - and then a very downgraded morning Gill to me. I said 'morning' and then she totally and utterly ignores me for the next 2.5 hours - SHE IS SUCH A LAUGH. SUCH A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. GIGGLES ALL DAY LONG. Nah, not really, I think you know if you look at my previous posts - SHE looks like MOST DAYS she is sucking a fucking lemon. But it does make me giggle now, I don't get upset by her anymore, I just think how fucking sad the woman really is.

AND I had a nice day, because I'm not allowing her to get to me anymore. AND because I finish at 2 on a Tuesday and Wednesday now - the hours seem to go very quickly. I got home for 2.30 and took Koz shopping, think my melt pot is at the post office and we called there but they were closed so I STILL DON'T HAVE MY MELTING POT. Oh poo.

Quite looking forward to tomorrow now...........................it's such a pleasure to go to work.

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to me !

I was well upset this morning. No body got me a card or anything. OK partly my fault, I always say, don't get buying cards they're a terrible waste of money, but I really mean, don't get buying expensive cards a 99p one isn't so bad.

DH tried very hard by sending me an ecard - it was good, but he knew I was a bit upset. DD was then upset cos she had already said she would buy me a new blouse for my interview, but the weather being so diabolical we hadn't gotten out to go get one - she still offers me a blouse, but she has no money and not working - so I couldn't take it off her.

Went to work. No one there knew it was my birthday - I hadn't told them. Thought that Monica might have remembered but she hadn't. Then Keir rang to say he wanted to go to cinema and could I take him. I said no because it was MY birthday. He was then upset that his dad hadn't told him it was my birthday. I thought he would know it was my birthday.

Anyway, then a nice surprise was DH rang to say we were all going out for a meal to the new chinese buffet in Tamworth, it was lovely although the kids didn't relaly enjoy it and I didn't know that Olivia hated Chinese. Ah well, you can please all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time but not .....................................

AND to add insult to injury, waiting for my melting pot, really looking forward to a play tonight and found that they hadn't sent the melting pot, just the melting pot metal pan - poo.

Joined a MOO swap on UKS, looking forward to that.

Happy Birthday to me then. Sad isn't it.

54.

What a week !

I changed Monday for Friday because Mrs Nasty needed the day off - I know I should have said I couldn't do it - but I'm not nasty.

Monday spoke with staff agency and they said they'd put me forward for the job in Lichfield. I was off Tuesday - did loads of running around for Keir and Olivia etc - and then it started snowing really badly and came home and spent the day in - should have got accounts done, but I feel really tired and as if my ear infection is coming back again.

Wednesday went to work - ok walking in - walking to my car and I slipped and really hurt my bottom back / bum......................still sore today.

Thursday had to go to staff agency to register with them.

Friday I had an interview at 'said job' - the interview went extremely well and by the time I had got home they had rang staff agency and said they were interested in me and could I go for 2nd interview next wednesday.

By the time I got home I had decided that I cannot go for the job - threw me a bit that they'd been so interested in me and rang whilst I was driving home to get me to go for 2nd interview. I don't think I could cope with 40 hours a week - as much as I want to get away from Mrs Nasty. I like my job - but I hate my coworker. I wish she would retire, but she won't. SHE would if I left first, I think.

I don't know what to do - shall I go for the 2nd interview and see how it is? Could I cope with 40 hours a week? EVERY WEEK ! It would mean getting home at 6.15 everynight instead of 4.30 and 2.30.

My ear infection has returned and I think it's tooth related, I must get to the dentist and maybe doctors AGAIN.

I am tired. Worn out - don't know what to do.

Have finished accounts but there was a lot missing - I think we must have burned some stuff when we moved from Denyer Court.

I love this house - but I miss Denyer Court - I didn't think I would.

My birthday tomorrow. I haven't remeinded anyone, we'll just see if they remember.

Snow to the left of me, snow to the right - here I am in Lychgate Close.

Marian said on the phone - the snow here is terrible, within half an hour it's 2" thick, we had nothing. Within 20 minutes of finishing on the phone this is what we had - looks pretty - looks lovely when fresh, but dread how cold and icy it will be to walk in tomorrow to go to work.

Yak.

SHE is off for the rest of the week YIPPEE and I'm off today to wait in for Argos delivery - it has come but they wouldn't take the wardrobes upstairs for me !

Started sorting out my accounts stuff - nightmare - don't know where half the paperwork is, maybe in the garage at Cupronickel.

Got addresses to change over.

A shed to get - boy are they expensive!

Bought a 2 seater and 3 seater sofa on Sunday - NICE.

Will be settled soon. Love it here, but next door neighbour keeps parking outside our house and that really does my head in !

Saturday 2nd January, 2010

I have been looking through the challenges on UKS this year and nothing really grabs me - the girls on the 365 thread are doing a fun thing but it's basically blogging and I really want to try and get my LO scrapping Mojo back - whether I will or not remains to be seen.

Once I have done my Accounts for the accountant I can settle down again to do some scrapping properly, I hope.

I have JUST ordered my Ranger Melting Pot and UTEE and Craft Sheet - nearly £60 but this is a Christmas Gift and will be part of my Birthday gift too - WHO's KIDDIN !

Anyway, it will be picked on monday and posted then (I hope) and so Tuesday or Wednesday I will be able to play, CAN'T WAIT.

We've just spent a lovely night - having a good ole laugh with our old mates Georgie and Paul. It was lovely to see them. It was nearly 3 years ago the last time we saw them, with one thing and another it has been difficult. We hope that 2010 we manage to see them more regularly.

Must keep in touch more with people, Linda & Linda from America - Georgie and Paul and Cheryl - they've all said about meeting at the hospital and having lunch. I could also introduce them to the Mental Woman I work with !

Anyway, gotta get to bed.

Happy New Year - 2010 Already, who would have THUNK

It was a quiet lonely night for us ! Keir and Olivia at their flat - we got them a takeaway on us.

Korin and us had a takeaway which was lovely - then Korin went out. We basically watched loadsoftv until it was time to pick Korin up. I really wanted to come up and scrap but didn't like to leave DH on his own for New Years Eve. To think of all those parties we used to get invited to. No one seems to have many parties these days.

As I said too SHE - SHITFACE at work had already tried to ruin my NYE, but I aint gonna let her get away with ANYTHING in 2010 - I've put up with enough shit - now it's payback, I'm going to give you RIGHT BACK everything you say and do to me over the next 12 months LETS SEE HOW YOU ENJOY YOUR WORKING DAY huh. When she is being vile I will say 'right, let me just say that back to you what you have just said to me' - I hate every bone in her body.

Scumshit LIZ WOOD !
