What me smile today was waking up after having the first really good nights sleep for nearly two weeks.
Part of me was actually hoping that work did make me redundant (they still may as the official board decision has not been made, but it is now unlikely). I have been thinking of setting up on my own for a while, but have stayed in the comfort of a permanent position despite not being totally happy with it. Redundancy would have been the kick up the bum to actually take some real steps towards self employment.
However, this reprise gives me time to strengthen my ties with clients, develop further work outside the big client base and then we'll see what happens in the future.
What really made me smile however, was Roachy steadfastly standing by me with the threat of redundancy hanging over my head. Many wouldn't. I am indeed a lucky frog.
Wouldn't expect anything less of the lovely Roachy
Glad your immediate future's secure... get plenty of groundwork in before attempting the self employment thing and plenty of money behind you... it ain't easy doing it on fresh air and shirt buttons.
Quite literally in my case... I'm even making jewellery out of buttons now cos they're free (or very cheap!)
Well it really made me smile to hear that someone in head office has half a brain and doesn't support your redunancy.
It's been a crappy couple of weeks and I'm pleased that yesterday seemed to explain some of the stinkiest BS that I've ever come across and things aren't as bad as they appeared last week and maybe I can calm down a bit now and stop ranting about it!
I know it's not over yet until the board make a decision and it remains to be seen if they have half a brain between them collectively but whatever happens, you know I support you fully and will help you in whatever way I can.
Go Team Frog!
Lou, buttons in jewellery...now that's creative!
The rapid replies to my group text suggesting BBQ, Beer, air hockey, and other malarky at mine this afternoon. It may not be a heatwave, but its dry, so Party on!!
Sitting here looking out the window at what could be a fab biker day and not having the confidence to get my new bike out and ride out there on my own. smiling because I know I am mad for not getting out there.
Awww, Dips. If we were closer we'd ride out with you. You're not mad though...big thing is confidence and for some of us, it's hard earned and easily lost.

It's not about confidence CG. you have bags of it once your out there. you use riding in groups as a comfort blanket.
It's as enjoyable on your own as it is in a group. get your gear on and pick a destination. even if its down to asda and back.
Blues I know your right and if anyone has followed my butt you certainly have so are the most experienced to comment on my riding, thats if looking at my butt didn't distract you from watching my riding plus you are the only person I have been out on my new bike with.
Your also right just like a kid has a dummy or favourite toy or blanket for comfort I do tend to use the group riding as my comforter.
look forward to you being able to get back out on your bike after your op I am sure we will ride out again sometime.
cg,u can do it...u came all the way over here with freya helping u drive yesterday,and u didnt even know the address...lol!!! i have confidence in you,even if u just go round the block!
Getting a piggyback from Geoff this afternoon across the rally field.
Can't remember ever having a piggyback although I must have as a child. Think I just about killed Geoff though!
They are tucking in to left over fried breakast,
Hope you didn't include the eggs Ruby! Ruby's cannibal chooks!
I must chase my friend up for that forum - I completely forgot sorry! Do nag me if I say I'm going to do something for you... got a memory like a wotsitcalled. Sent her a message on FB but never followed it up *tuts @ self*
