Yeah not happy. It's not too bad casue I still have my current and something new might come of it anyway but it's still a kick in the teeth. Especially because I'd just gotten over the stress of the whole move and was starting to really look forward to it.
I'm really sorry to hear that. Rubbish news
did they specify how long it's been put on hold for?
My boss gave me a fifty euro bonus last week.
Today, I'm dying with a chest infection but have been cheered up immensely by the following -
1. Got a text saying we're having a belated Christmas work party paid for in January.
2. Boss dropped in seventy euro commission to the job for me because I did so well on my sales last week. I basically sold double my weekly target and had our highest sales week since we opened.
3. My sister's boss is the guy I do recruitment, training and all that managerial stuff for. He dropped fifty euro in to me as a bonus from him, to thank me for giving up so many days off this year to help him out, despite already paying me way more than the going rate for all the work I do for him.
Fcuk yeah, I love today!
In work for two or three hours tomorrow, seeing the boy today and tomorrow, getting my phone from him tomorrow and then lots of lovely presents waiting for me on Wednesday.
And I bought lots of extra surprise presents for my family and friends with all the extra money I've been given.
AND the boyfriend told me he's taking me on holiday in a few months.

I outlined it in the Cries of Patients thread in R&R but basically, this:What happened?
I went in for several reasons, one of which was to do something about all the bi-monthly cramping I was getting lately.
I was expecting just a talk and maybe her prodding my stomach to check for tender parts which was fine with me but she insisted on doing a pelvic floor exam and taking swabs from my ladyparts, which was not at all what I expected. I know she was being thorough but she wasn't very gentle with me and I was in agony throughout the whole thing. I always tense up when I have gynae exams and it didn't help that she was rooting around like she was trying to dig the Channel Tunnel.
I just feel so violated and it's bringing back memories of past trauma which I won't get into here. 0 -

If you're getting up early to check your bearded dragon, I can only imagine how good you'll be at doing the night feeds :pac:0 -

You too man, have a good 'un.
Well, quiet enough last night in work. There was 8 of us on instead of the usual 4. Maybe they were expecting more of a crowd or more trouble? Don't know but it was overkill for the quiet night that was in it. I also got a "bit of a talking to" for being a bit "heavy-handed" with a lad I threw out on Sunday night. I was told the guy's feet hardly touched the ground when I was bringing him out, and that I scared a few of the customers in the entrance hall as I burst through the doors to bring him out....oh, and I was told I didn't need to be holding him by the throat! :rolleyes: Jeez, what!!?? Am I supposed to talk nicely to them?? In fairness, I got told off about ONE of the many I threw out, so I suppose it's not TOO bad!!
Herself is baking up a storm in the kitchen! She did shortbread stars yesterday, and is doing Madeira cake today, along with apple and cinnamon tartlets, fairy cakes and God knows what else. The kitchen smells like a bakery and I'm not allowed sample anything. I'm nearly licking the feckin' glass here!! :pac: 0 -
My poor mother has been up since 6am pre-cooking everything for tomorrow. I'm shocked at how organized she is. Pretty much all she needs to do is reheat the meats, boil a few sprouts and chuck the potatoes in with the roast. Bish-bash-bosh-DONE.
Blimey. I'm in awe.
Also got a ton of presents from my aunt and a family friend so the Christmas tree doesn't look bare anymore. My mom got a massive hamper full of posh scented candles. The house will be reeking of cinnamon over the holidays... 0 -

Just watched the QI XL Christmas special featuring Brendan O' Carroll. It was great!
Not long to go now before the great feast commences.
On a slightly sadder note, my grandmother is in the hospital but she's coming out tonight- something to do with her blood pressure being low and her feeling a bit faint. She had a mini-stroke in the summer so she went into Beaumount as a precaution.
I'm trying not to worry but I'd say she'd be fine after a few whiskeys. My granny is tougher than an old boot so I'm not TOO concerned. 0 -

In recent years we've been doing the present thing on Christmas Eve. The following day is just dinner and relaxing, maybe visiting my gran and such.
Though this time round we went to mass in the nursing home my gran is in, which was followed by mince pies and mulled wine in the lobby. They have the most gigantic Christmas tree I've ever seen indoors! That was followed by impromptu drinks at my aunt's house, though we normally don't visit family on Christmas Eve.
Not too shabby so far
