hi ffnf..sorry you have had a rough week so far , i was saddened to read about the situation with mr.k. I t seems that you have saved yourself greater upset by taking the course that you have , and at least you will remain speaking and that must be some comfort. Ultimately you have behaved wisely and with dignity and you should be proud of that. hope that your daughter sorts stuff out with her pal have a good day nat xxx
thanks nat
Hi you, Im so glad you didnt really take a break from your diary, I think its much better when words are put down and you would have been so missed. Families and friends are a godsend when you are down, at least all is good with Zoe, and Im sure Sarah will feel a little better soon, you are a great mum x
Hi Vicky, thanks.. I didn't intend to keep posting but it's been such a huge help. Everyone has been so lovely so kind.
I spoke to Sarah today and she is loads better and her friend left at 3am this morning and there were loads of tears but they all (Sarah, friend and friend's parents) agreed this was the best decision for her friend to make. In fact, her dad told Sarah that they knew she would make that decision it was simply a matter of when. So that made both Sarah and her friend feel heaps better too. They have parted with as close (if not closer) a bond of friendship than before. Lots of tears but promises of visits and parties
I'm so proud of my girl.. I know how hard it was for her and for her friend too.
She's coming home a couple of days after the Brum meet up so I am going to do something special for her (might get a rabbit pie from the farmers market tomorrow morning and put it in the freezer for when she comes home! farmers market is only once a month and she adores rabbit pie.. lol) Yep - that's decided! Might also see if Boots have got that special body rub stuff she loves.. will have to somehow get her to tell me.. lol.. without giving the game away!
Today has just got better and better. (A few very very blue moments -as in sad, not X-rated!) However.. I went to get waxed this afternoon - when I came out and was chatting to the beautician, who I also would be proud to call a friend, another client came out and we all got nattering (as you do) lol. Tracey told this woman how much I'd lost..
.. lol and we talked about the diet for a while.. and then I mentioned that I'd been for interviews without success and this lady's face changed.. she asked me what I did for a living and what kind of work I was looking for!!!
It turns out she works for a large hotel chain as an area manager and is looking for an administrator for her and her colleague!!!! I asked if she would like to see my CV? (never one to miss an opportunity
) and, as I had some copies in my car.. lol.. I got one and gave it to her.. she read it and told me that if the 2 people her colleague was interviewing on Monday were no good that she would call me!!!
Bizarre! She knows what salary I need too (and why).. I told her all that before I knew she was looking for someone.. lol.. in fact.. she knows a lot about me for a prospective employer!! lololol
So, you never know! Perhaps I will get a call next week from her! In the meantime I have downloaded some application forms and will probably spend this evening and tomorrow doing those and posting them off. (not putting all my eggs in one basket ever again).
No word from my sis as yet today , so that's a positive sign.. oh.. and the shower this morning? I saw my friend Lisa outside just now, and told her the shower was broken and she told me that the water supply was off so it might have been that!!! So.. will have to see later if that's the case! Will be a real bonus if it is!
have brought some work home to do as in a weird mood and the right one to steam into some of it (will make up for the last couple of days being a pathetic zombie!!).. did manage to do a huge mailshot today though, and extra printing for district training officer who had only emailed in this morning to say he needed it doing.. I emailed him back to say it was done and when he arrived he had with him a small bunch of flowers as a thank you for saving him from having to do it all. (and this was without knowing how pants my week had been!).. I'm sure I know who is behind all this nice stuff today
Zoe has just come into the kitchen and announced she is hungry so I've offered to make her a thai chicken curry as she starts her diet Monday (we are spending Sunday planning and shopping for it!). I think we'll do one for her that is calorie counted as I think she should have the whole range of food groups. I still have (somewhere) some calorie books.. but if not, there is always the wonderful internet!
So.. although not going out anywhere again this weekend, I have plenty to do to keep me busy. Plus of course, I can look forward to my pub quiz night too. So glad I have that each week to look forward to. Nice way to wrap up the weekend and ease into the week ahead too
Off to chop some chicken and get the wok out! (I know I spoil her, but I love cooking and if I can't eat the damn stuff at least I get to handle it, prepare it and smell it and see someone else enjoying it!)
you get the picture.. although I'm wondering if all the emotion of late has had an impact on my digestive tract too!!
