Good news… My boss is leaving! I’m really pleased for her! She’s on a 3 month secondment at another site for a position higher than hers.  It also seems that secondments have a habit of being made permanent.  But my boss wants to come back, as ideally she doesn’t want to be based so far away.

Bad news (or is it?) they are replacing her…. the word on the street is, that they are going to get another finance manager from another place to come and cover.  The good news about this is that she is only working part time. 

I dont know what I was hoping really, its far too early for me to move into her position, i totally don’t feel ready, so why am I worrying?  i guess I was hoping to take the chance of her being away to have a go at doing some of her work, and getting to grips with that a bit, by being thrown in at the deep end (conditions i appear to thrive in).  From a divisional point of view they would be pretty fucked with me in charge right now.  I just hope the new finance manager lets me help her out and take the opportunity for me to get some experience in a finance managers role.

I also hope my boss comes back.  She’s a really good manager and is pushing me in that direction of finance manager anyway. Ideally she could come back here and then eventually take the higher job on our division (if that opportunity came up) and then i’d be ready to take on her roll.

In one way I’m pleased I’m not being left to struggle on, but i hope i don’t miss any opportunities. 

A finance Manager, how cool would that be? Especially with Carl being promoted at work - EXTENSION HERE WE COME lol

Ive finally got round to uploading the pics from my old mobile (having upgraded the other day).  here are my two new pairs of specs from ASDA

When you say it like that it makes you sound really old doesnt it?  Good job thats not how I feel!  I think I should feel more grown up than I actually do, but sometimes it still feels like me and carl are playing “house”.  Especially on a day like today I feel like a little kid.. ripping off the wrapping paper and countin my Birthday money!

Thanks to everyone for my messages! I’m hopefully going to have a lovely day! xx

In the couple of days that we have been off work we’ve been very busy!  We’ve picked some new bedroom carpet that’s getting fitted Friday (cream), and have also chosen and ordered some blue slate for the garden (also coming Friday).  Carl’s shifted half a tonne of soil and were ready to lay some slate, we just need to move some soil now - any body want a bag?!! lol

Were going to get measured up for some living room carpet too, Ive chosen a nice brown colour which will go with everything.  Living room is going to be the next thing on the agenda, after being in the house 11 months almost its time we spent some savings.  The garden is going to look pretty sweet with slate covering most of the boarder, were going to get some nice pots and put plants in there - easy and low maintenance.  There is a patch behind the shed and Ive decided I’m going to grow carrot’s and cabbage for the little man in my life!  I’m also going to use a raised bed section of the garden to grow herbs! How fantastic!  We’ve spoken to next door and the chap is going to get the concrete slats for the fence that needs putting up and Carl is going to put them up for him.  Which means that we can get a shed ordered soon so our back garden wont look like a junk yard.

Off to ASDA later to pick up my new specs.. hopefully they wont be fucked up this time!!

Oh.. do you like my new fairies for the garden?  £9.99 each from homebase!!

I’m in  good mood… honest I am… I’m off work for a week and its my birthday in a few days… I cant help feeling a bit blah.

Good friends are so important and thats why im looking forward to seeing Nic and Paul Monday and Laura on Tuesday.

Been to ASDA today and after the staff initially trying to say it was me they got my records out and found that they hadnt been updated on the computer, so my glasses were ordered with my old prescription.  God knows how long these new ones will take to come… longer than in the first place i bet as they will send the glasses back rather than order a new pair.

ASDA HAVE NOT CHANGED MY PRESCRIPTION IN MY NEW GLASSES,,, ITS TOOK ME A WHOLE DAY TO WORK OUT BUT I THOUGHT I WAS SQUINTING…

SOMEONE IS IN FOR A FUCKING TOMORROW

Wow.. a week after I ordered them one pair of my new specs arrived!!  I love them!!! These ones are FCUK and they are black and then on the sides black and white stripes.. and inside black and white stripes also.. (bit weird at first but getting used to them)

Well I had a bit of a hectic yesterday, were cat-sitting so i headed there from work to feeb Bobba Fett and clean up any poop he might of left behind… He made me wait while he ate his food before going out for wee wee’s!! Argghhh!

anyway I got home and found Colin had a messy bum! He’d had a bit of an upset tummy in the day by the looks of things and not cleaned himself properly… I put his cage towel straight into the wash.  I gave him a couple of hours to clean himself and when he didn’t i decided bathing him was the only option.  i decided to fill the bath rather than the sink with an inch of water.  luckily we have a big corner bath and it slopes, so while the bottom part was filled with a bit of water the top didn’t have any in…. I took my trousers off in preparation for jumping in (thankfully i didn’t have to) and Carl was on hand with a towel!

Anyway, I put Colin down in the bath in the no-water side and he walked straight into the water and paddled about… I’d almost go as far as saying that he enjoyed paddling!  I then was splashing him with water which didnt bother him, but then I had to wash him a bit more which he didn’t like..! I didn’t want to use any soap so just used water, but it was a success and I have a nice clean bunny! 

No messy bottom today either so Colin was permitted some broccoli this morning! YUM

Ive been seriously thinking about purchasing a Juicy Couture tracksuit? is that just a little bit too chav do you think? or have I missed the boat now and need to purchase something a bit more 2008?
