Hello, can I join in please?
Lovely weekend but lots of wonderful food consumed:
Sunday was bacon, 2 sausages, fried egg on toast, walk in some woods, rare roast beef, yorkshire puddings, carrots, broccoli, green beans, peas, parsnips, roast potatoes (but only 1 as I didn't do a v good job and they were soggy), gravy, red wine, late ish night but heavenly time with dh and the children were gorgeous all weekend, so I'm very happy. It was like a boden ad in our house but better.
today, I worked at home and so had boiled egg and toast with loads of butter, rare roast beef and horseradish sandwich, oh and warm treacle tart frmo the farm shop and clotted cream (and had that as pudding on Sunday), oh I'm sounding like an Enid Blyton book! Still, all very nice and we are about to have spaghetti bolognase and red wine.
AND, and, and, I have re negotiated with my boss and asked for more cash and she is hopeful that she can give me a more cash AND less hours combo, which would be fab. She has to go and talk to some people to see if she can get me more money but she said "you're in a great negotiating position" (my contract up shortly, and I haven't agreed renewal. She also said "if I can't get more money out of the budget would you consider same money WITH less hours?" and I said "maybe, let's see on the money first" so fingers crossed xxxxxxx
