Spaghetti Brains

Just too much going in in my head, my oersonal life feels like i have a rollercoaster ride; dont know what the conclusion will be or when the ride ends or what will be left at the end . Damn !

Work is jsut a slow train to nowhere, unfortunatly there are few jobs out there unless i want to take a massive pay cut.

Study is ok but hard.

My weight and fitness again is just another struggle.

All in all i have to get a grasp on whats happening with me, my oersonal life, is too early to make a decison either way, the rest i just have to persevere with and get my head down.

Up and Down Day

Well, i didn't get snowed in at home so had to come to work, would much rather have caught up on stuff at home, never mind.

Was on my own in the office so have done nothing but paperwork, popped out at lunchtime and bought cake - now this accounts for the DOWN - ate too much cake and then had a sugar crash and burn.

SO to distract myself from the sheer agony of a headache and mood dump i thought i'd take a photo and pay homage to the devil that is refined sugar !!!

This doesnt make me feel better - spinning class and swimming but i know it wont burn the sugar consumption of today !!!

Damn, I lack self control !!!!

Gonna Try

I'm going to try and restart this blog and become more frequent in my postings, we'll see !!!!!

Snowy Day

The day started off quite snowy there have been a few hours of no snow and now its back. The flakes are quite wet and very fine, I sort of want to get snowed in so I can have a pj and duvet day tomorrow but I have a social life that requires a car.

Not sure what I want !! As per usual

Bank Holiday Weekend

So i worked Saturday through to Sunday morning, kindly my colleague let me leave early as they knew i was going out on Sunday with my brother, wife and baby.

Off we headed to Ragley Hall, the intention being to see the hot air balloons, grounds and house. The day didn't pan out as expected, we decided to do the house first, what a farce:

Couldn't find a pram friendly entrance and ended up having to go round the back and ask kitchen staff, apparently there is a lift that has to be requested from the main entrance.
I left Dave, Lisa and Beatrice behind and went in, and was greeted by a very posh (and rude) elderly woman who when i asked for the lift screwed up her face and was obviously so put out by me asking that she stated there would be a long wait - we were prepared to wait.
Then i asked if we actually were able to take a pushchair round, the scorn and disgust was apparent on the woman's face, she told me no, it was a family home, pushchairs had to be left in the area where she was - i advised we were not prepared to leave the pram ( it is expensive, we had baby accessories, coats, cameras etc) carrying a 4 week old baby is not appropriate. She then told me that she couldn't make one rule for me and another for everyone else - i stated that wasn't what i was asking - at this point i noticed a woman in an electric wheelchair - so they're allowed then. !!!
I then asked how i would obtain a refund as we had paid to view a property which was not possible - she then said '' if you want to make an issue of it'' ----------

WOW, this woman was / is rude!

I advised her we wanted a refund, and suggested they advertise properly on their website.

The visitor manager was very apologetic, and did give us a refund and also advised us that on days when it wasn't busy pushchairs were allowed.


Ragley Hall .............not worth the effort !!!!




On Monday I went to Avoncroft Museum in Bromsgrove, fantastic, peaceful, friendly, informative staff, you must go. WOW

2s company and 3s a crowd

Well what a day,

I work in a small office with 2 colleagues.

Often we are all in the office together all day and i do find it very tiring and difficult. We have all strong and different personalities, to make the team work there has to be a lot of give and take

Sometimes i just want a time out, to get away and be on my own.

My job isnt very stressful and i am under very little pressure, i have worked in far more stressful situations and in large teams but working in such a small team is one of the hardest things to do.

Work, Work and more

I'm so busy at the moment: i work full time Monday to Friday and if I can get work at the weekends then I will also work Saturday and Sunday too. I have just signed on with an agency too so hopefully that will keep the work rolling in. The credit crunch I must admit has put me slightly into panic mode - i have always worked 2 jobs but I'm just trying to line up as many jobs as possible so if need be i can max out the work to survive.

It does mean my social life is not spontaneous and does have to be pencilled into my diary and i have to make sure i don't put extra work always first to the detriment of my friends - its a tough call sometimes when the work mode is switched on i become like a rat in a maze and have tunnel vision.

The work i tend to do is Social Care and hostels, as some the residents are not a problem and quiet this means i can read a book or dip on and off the net whilst keeping an eye on the CCTV and the door open - obviously if someone has a problem they are the focus and the shift then can be tiring and stressful.

I will endeavout to be more regular with my Blogging.

Happy Weekend.
