The Blog of Neglect

Hola anyone still reading? Its been a while and as you might have guessed i'm off track, its been a very stressful week or two and i feel so mixed up and i'll try and explain.

at work today i wrote this out longhand as our internet blocks blogger as an unacceptable site (boo hiss)
i have few things to say- want to include photos but they might nie

Here goes
1) WI result plus ½lbs - not bad i was very happy i was expecting a good 3lbs if not more
2)  The source of the stress -
  •  a)The hectic week started last week when i was on a course to help me prepare when i leave work prepering CVs thinking outside the box for interviews and job hunting. so  i got the monday off work and me and my mum decided to go to Manchester markets for the day, then as it was my friends 30th that day she came, it all got a bit mixed up as my mum felt iss but still insisted on going, i had got helen that giant fearne cotton hat box from boots so was lugging that, then she texted to say she was ill, but did turn up in the end but bless she wasn't well. so i felt a bit stressed as thinking what can i do, by the time we got back to oldham my mum looked bad, full of a cold and generally feeling unwell. my dad bless him came and got us and my mum went to bed.
  • b) Tuesday mum still not well so i got train to work took forever and was late
  • c) Wednesday mum looked terrible insisted i went to work which i did, my dad took me in. before i left i said i thought she should go to hospital as has Asthma and really didn't look good, all the way to work i kept saying to my dad she didn't look right and said check on her as soon as he got home, when he got in she said ambulance and they rushed her in, she was very very lucky he got home when he did, a few mins later and i'm not sure what would have happened and there was no way she could have called one herself. i feel sick at the thought if it. she was kept in til Friday - it was an asthma attack triggered by a virus so she's on striods, antibiotics and inhalers, slowly getting better. 
  • d) cos of all this i've had to keep cancelling my driving lesson and i can tell my instructor is getting pissed off with me, but some things in life are more important. i only got told at last min i had to work thursday last week so i changed, then i booked for this thursday and got told at half 3 i needed to be in this thursday and no mangers about to allocate me a new day off, by this time the instructor had no spaces left and with the snow i've canx saturdays lesson, i know its all good practice but the last thing i need is to be here all weekend panicing about that. i'm booked in for monday / wednesday next  week so fingers crossed this bloody snow will have gone by then!
  • e) then this morning to top my stress levels up to max - my dad woke me up at 5am to tell em there was about 8 inches of snow outside, so didn't know if he could take me to work - he said he'd try to get the car out at about 5.30am by 6.10am there was still no sign of him, so i started to look out no sign, looked in fridge he's took his dinner. he'd decided to go without me - cheers papa. Yes ok i leave on friday but don't you think it'd look odd if i just didn't turn up? so then as we live very far from work i had to text someone as as we know i broke my phone i only had one number, i didn't know her start time but i thought if its 8am she'd be setting off at 6.45am so made the decision to text at 6.30am (ops i woke her up she was on a9am start) decided better to go in with her than get buses and trains. picked up 7.45am got to end of my road 8.02am got to next pick up point 8.59am! (NORMALLY 15MINS MAX) got to my desk at 10.15am! ops then i had to tell my manager i was going at 5pm instead of 6pm! 
  • f) Trivial point but a point none the less - we missed our last every company works do, as soon  as  we put our names down we booked a room at the hotel then my mum didn't get a  ticket, then she got one then i had to canx as she was in hospital, i decided to call the hotel out of politeness (its non refundable but thought they might be able to re-sell it again) the hotel was good and allowed me to move it to this week. BUT will i use it or not thats one of the reasons i canx the driving lesson  couldn't face co-ordinating the 2. we are meant to be going out from drinkies after we leave on friday but its a trek from work to the hotel as thats in the town centre - i wouldn't mind but our works dos are always at the hotel opposite work and this year they changed venues! - i'm not arsed if i have to canx again but seems a waste 
  • g) its our leaving do on Saturday in Manchester 3pm meet at the print works and 6pm meal at Teppanyaki i've decided if we go its just to the meal i'm not trogging round town with a poorly mama, thats if the snow clears enough to get there safely! 
3) Manchester - before it all went tits up  -  trot round teh markets here some pictures

I went to see HP7.1 on friday instead of the works do, it was ok, a bit slow in parts but i am in love with rupert grint, 8 years too young, but he is so cute, i love his facial expressions
The time travelers wife was on sk this week, i've always been put off the book as people said its confusing but i might give it ago now - the film made me cry a little but but i really enjoyed it
