Boffin, well done on confronting the AP - hopefully it'll sink in & she'll realise that she can't expect to be paid for a job which she simply isn't doing. I'm sure she's a lovely woman, but she isn't half proving to be useless so far - your DH doesn't have to deal with the consequences of that, only seeing that she's friendly & whatever. It's not fair for you to be getting stressed out about her as well as everything else at the moment!
Oh! I've just seen that she's apologised & whatever - excellent You've clearly got the same scary teacher voice as my mum's perfected. Actually, my mum's pretty terrifying even without opening her mouth - if you tell her you're going to bed & she doesn't hear you going upstairs, she'll come back down to fetch you. The sound of those footsteps on the stairs are enough to make your heart pound & start panicking, trying to decide how best to make an excuse. Even my dad shudders at the thought of it & leaps up out of his seat as soon as the sound begins Being a teacher obviously has its advantages
BB, you have the day off? Yay! How strange, but let's not complain! As for the BH, the ones I've had over the weekend have been really quite painful & I definitely get the impression that yours have been much worse - whoever's coming out with this 'painless' description needs a slap
frekkles, your party sounds lovely - well done for finding the energy to not only organise it but dance until 4.30! That's clearly madness! It's so good that you seem so much happier at the moment - I hope it lasts You deserve it xx
Ooh, how exciting is it that it's getting to be nice (all things being relative!) weather, with longer days? It's pancake day tomorrow, too - 40 days until Easter, & I'm due on Easter Sunday. Lent is suddenly of importance to me - it's a proper countdown! Oh, I can't wait! I'm sitting here looking at my Moses basket on its rocking stand & wishing I had a baby to go & scoop out of it for a cuddle. I so badly want to be a mummy! I've got the wife thing under my belt now & I'm impatient for the next bit
Nutty, at 'what work?' - remind me never to cross you
Good to hear that your hips are feeling better today, although obviously about the back / bum / leg situation - must be very strange to have hurt yourself so badly & not know how (without alcohol being involved, at least ) I hope you have a relatively good day, though.
