At goal & now beyond... 5:2 officially rocks!

Thanks honey, I'm going to talk to my direct manager today as when she was off last week her boss collared me & made me do a questionnaire with him which was to justify why I work the hours I work (Monday I do 12-8, Tuesday 10-2 Wednesday & Thursday 10-345 then I work 5-10 every Sunday, this is so I can take my son to school every day) but the way he spoke to me was out of order asking why my husband can't do more of the childcare (he is the main wage earner bringing home double my salary & works 2 hours away & commutes daily) & why my family can't help, all our parents are in their 70s & one sister lives in London & the other sister works time) & the best of all why can't I work more weekends, hello I do EVERY Sunday evening. I left that office that day in tears (didn't let him see) & was in bed by 630pm as was being so snappy with hubby & son. Sorry I just offloaded. Have spoken to my union rep who has made me document it all & send it to him.

As for the nutritional thing it's a study from home course through NLP I started last year as diet & nutrition fascinates me now (I'm so boring lol) so I decided to do something. A friend of a friend who lives down South did the same course & now charges £50 an hour advising people!!!

Sounds like he was way out of order, Lexie. I hope you get it sorted out with your line manager. xx

That's so unfair Lexie and totally unprofessional of them. Your childcare arrangements are none of their business. The nerve to ask why your husband and family can't do more And you're working a Sunday which must be one of the least popular days to work. Some people think they own you because they employ you...and sometimes it needs to be pointed out that they don't. You are contracted to work a certain number of hours for them and anything else outside that is quite frankly none of their business. You don't need to justify yourself to them. You're quite right to report it and hope you get some success with your direct manager today.

Course sounds interesting..and possibly very profitable! x

Thats terrible hun. He has no right to talk to you that way. ((((Hugs)))) xx

That is shocking, hope things get sorted x

 

[Lexie2005]

My boss is quite horrified & says I'm not to worry about my hours as she knows I can't change them but I'm so angry at how he spoke to me but with no witnesses it's his word against mine..... He's a complete pig!!!

Sounds like he was way out of order, Lexie. I hope you get it sorted out with your line manager. xx

Must agree! Very out of order! What a horrible thing to go through! You have every right to complain about it!

 

[Lexie2005]

Well I've completed a fast albeit it at 540ish but that was celery & carrot that took me over which I'm sure you use more calories chewing than it actually is. Am looking forward to a controlled up day tomorrow & a half hour spinning class for which I have just bought padded trousers as last time my arse was agony!!!

 

[LisaM1977]

Have a good controlled up day xx

 

[Lexie2005]

Have a good controlled up day xx

Thanks honey I've got spinning so it's not worth messing it up x

 

[Lexie2005]

Haven't been able to go spinning the friend I was going withs youngest son had a fall at school today & has a huge bump on his head so she understandably didn't want to put him in to the kids class at the gym & it's a quiet night & as only Conal booked it they cancelled it. Could have gone to Zumba as normal I suppose but have had my tea now cos I was hungry & I don't exercise on a full stomach or I'd be sick... Oh well 45 minute spin tomorrow on a fast which hopefully will be a food burn

 

[weebuns]

Shame about your spin class...though my bottom aches just hearing you describe it!! Doing it tomorrow though should get you good results x

 

[KittyBling]

Pity it was cancelled but I want to vomit at the thought, never mind how my bum feels about it!

 

[Lexie2005]

I've been going on a 5:2 forum on FB a bit & today posted I was struggling & this was someone's reply...

Oh no that's awful, how nasty.. Did you reply? X

 

[BinkyBonk]

There is no need for people to be rude

 

[TracyGWill]

There are some proper morons about, Lexie, don't let them get to you, it's what they want because they're sad and pathetic - best stay in here with us where it's civilised!! xx

 

[KittyBling]

How awful, is there not a big fat "report" button somewhere??

 

[Lexie2005]

Well she deleted it but I posted about it & Kate Harrison who is an author (I happen to love) & who's written some 5:2 books commented & so I've pm'd her with that screenshot of the email showing who said it & she's dealing with it (it's her page I believe as she said about "her admin" ooh how I'd love someone to do my admin) Got so many nice comments though I'm feeling better now....
