Yay - no more work for 9 days

Have some things to sort out around the flat but I'm going to make sure that I get some crafting done next week.

Been reading too that the PaperMill shop is launching a new range next week so will have to put that on my list of somewhere to visit during my leave; my nearest branch is only about a 20 minute drive from me (welll that's if I don't get lost). Don't think I'll go until at least Wednesday though as they will be probably putting out all the new stuff at the beginning of the week.

May also pay a visit to lorraine's shop Just a Memory Been there a couple of times before and it's the sort of place that I like to walk round at least once first of all to browse and then I look to buy, otherwise I'll pick up one thing to buy but then see something else I want more but won't be able to afford it all.

Think I need a treat after the week I've had, which unlike some weeks which get worse as the days go on, mine seemed to get better.

Finally spoke out to manangement about a woman who has been bullying me for years and treats my like I'm a 5 year old. It is going to be difficult having to see her when I go back after my week off as that's when she's going to be spoken to about her attitude towards me, but I just have to keep remembering that she is the one in the wrong not me, and she if anyone should feel ashamed and awkward it's her.

Also had a meeting with Big Boss Man and he wants to develop my role further too, which is most likely to mean a re-grading. Just have to put together a new job description and get then it will be evaluated, I have some people ready and willing to help me with that, so that is a bug bonus.

Then I came home today to find that one of my neighbours had left me some flowers to say thank you as I also cut them out a "No Parking" sign as people are blocking access to thier garage too.

So although I have a stinking cold at the moment, things are in a way starting to look a lot more positive for me - knowing my luck though something is bound to happen to turn it on it's head, it always does!!
