At home all day

For those who answered my question yesterday, I have been baking and cooking today. So far today we have a lemon drizzle cake, chocolate brownies, a caramelised onion tart and a roast chicken dinner. Increased waist line coming right up....

jb - you have surpassed yourself....wish i lived near you, i'd come round for tea ;-)

how are you feeling btw, did you try the PMR i directed you to last nite?

[jb190281]

Havent had time !!!!! I will do though, Im always open to ideas. I feel very relaxed today, plus I dont need to eat for days....

[jb190281]

and by the way ahmskunnirt - i dont know who'll eat it all, maybe the local tramps!!

Well there's a warning sign right away....be careful you dont transfer 'the madness' of the workplace to homelife whilst you are off these two weeks....you should try and spend at least some time each day doing 'nothing'. Just wondering if you are keeping busy so that you dont have time to think about other things. You dont need to specify an answer - just something to think about!! :-)

What are your plans for tomorrow then?

[jb190281]

Im in Cheshire.

Silkcut - I know what youre saying - I have spent some time on here, sent a few emails to friends, watched daytime tv (so mindless!).

Tomorrow, Im not doing much - Ive already planned meals for the next week so tomorrow is time for Greek stifado, which can simmer away for hours, and Ive found a book to read, its called 5 People you meet in heaven.

I know whats stressed me out, its work. I dont like my job anymore. To add to it, Ive got some issues going on with the manager. I think taking time out will help me calm down.

I'm going to pan fry fillet steak in beef dripping until it's pink!

[jb190281]

well ahmskunnirt, if youre ever up here, id be willing to bake ya a cake!!

[ummmm]

I've read that book jb.....it's not too bad.

[20SilkCut]

Ah JB - the Mitch Alborn book - its really good - i read it a while ago....its sad and makes you think a lot - you will shed a tear...

made me think about who the 5 main people in my life were.....

tell me are there any life coaches round where you live....you might find it useful booking a session with one who comes recommended...might help you to decide where you want to go from here job wise...?? worth a thought??

[jb190281]

Thats a good idea, different perspective always helps I guess. I'll look into that. Youve been great with your suggestions and advice - what do you do for a living???

[20SilkCut]

Not a prob JB - any time!! :-) re. job - would rather not say on here....suffice to say i work 'with people'...lol

[jb190281]

no worries. id say youre very good at your job then. Ive always been more finance based, until recently. And there is the story of my downfall - changing to work with people!

[20SilkCut]

Thanks JB...i try!! lol

Here is another website you might find of interest - my only association with it is that i did this women's course a few years ago and it helped me figure out exactly what i wanted to do with my life - as i needed a change....it started a process that i am still implementing....and things have changed for the better...there is bound to be a trainer near you if you are interested.

In any case - even if you are not interested in it...work wise - go with your gut feelings and whereever your heart guides you... you obviously know when it is right (and wrong) for you!! :-)

[jb190281]

that sounds very interesting but i dont think its what i need, thanks all the same. i am going to use my time relax and get better but also look for a new job. time for change!
