Christmas Decs are down and back to normal

We took advantage of the extra day off yesterday and took the decs down andcleaned and tidied up.

How difficult did I find going back to work today.  I didnt post about it but I did threaten to quit the Thursday before Christmas if I was given proper resources.  I didnt want to put a downer on Christmas and it isnt really resolved although I am assured it will be. I just feel sick again all the time and this went off a little at Christmas so I know I am suffering stress at work.

Today there was power cut at work due to a power line coming down so we sat there for over two hours doing nothing.  I tried to do some work but it was rather impossible.

As a result of the long day and feeling unwell I decided not to go shopping as I had planned and instead made do with what we had.  I did an easy meal of mash, southern fried quorn burgers and beans.  I found a dessert which cost about 9p some time ago, it was a basics strawberry dessert:

Not bad to be honest. The less time I spend at the supermarket the longer my money stays in my purse!

For lunch tomorrow we will have cheese and crackers left over from Christmas, as we did today.  I have rested a little this evening and feel a little more positive.

  2. Oh Justine, I feel for you as I too feel stressed in my job and it makes me unhappy.

    To be honest, I want to get through the next year, then save as much as possible so that then I've got the option to leave teaching.

    I love the joy of the classroom, not the politics or the managerial role I have.

  3. These puds are great. I serve them up in fancy glass dishes and put half a cherry or a small blob of red jam on as a garnish, and they look WAY better than 9p budget puds!

    I am in the middle of listing all the leftovers in cupboards, fridge and freezer and planning meals from what we have.

    I do hope that the work situation improves!

    New Year Blessings x

  4. I remember those days when power went off at work - I think we all took an early lunch.
