Stuff.
It has been a while since i posted: so... The Land Of Us.
Emmy has new job, which is a fien thing for it results in her Not Having To Work With Her Old Crazy Boss. It also means she has HER OWN OFFICE!!!! *is jealous*
Last friday was our children's party at work, which resulted in me stomping round shouting things like "i hate my job" on friday evening and saturday. I now no longer hate my job (though mostly as i have remembered i am on a one year contract and hence never have to do that again). The problem was not the children, it was a handful of rude mothers/women who used to be in refuge (the kids all get invited back if they left in the past year) who insisted on making life tricky and beign very rude to me. This was stressful and induced anxiety.
Happy now as I Never Have To See Those Three Again. *does a dance of sheer joy at this thought*
*also thinks lots of rather rude words to describe them in her head, because she is still quite grumpy*
Today i have two hours of taking apart Santa's Grotto, then we are on HOLIDAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY until the 5th of Jan.(actually everyone works a short shift proportional to their normal working hours over the next fortnight: so 15 hours per week goes to 2 hours over Christmas).
Em and I have booked our January mini-holiday :) We are going to lanzarote for four days (thurs to sunday) in mid january. YAY! This will hopefully help em to top up her light levels a bit, and give us both a brief relax time.
I made mince pies last night and they were yummy - Christmas is definitely Baking Time in the Land of Frances. My parents/Granny+grandpa on dad's side and Claire and Jess will be coming here between new year and the 5th, and I am planning to make a Green and Black's Chocolate torte with gold dusting. It is in my epic chocolate recipe book, and it looks SCRUMMY!
I hve started drivelling so will wander off now *does*
