Some good news

I had been a bit unhappy at work so I went in to see a fairly senior person about the way i am being treated. They took a few weeks to think about it and then came back to me personally to tell me they were giving me a (small) pay rise to try to send me the message that they want me and want me to stay working for the organisation. As it is such a big place the way they always do the pay rises is at the same time each year in a very structured way. So it is extremely remarkable that they have agreed to do this (I didnt explicitly ask for more money) - he even told me that he has never before agreed to do such a thing. So I celebrated yesterday by having both scampi and chips and pizza in one day. I have been so so so sos good recently and i have given up alcohol for 3 months (between my 30th and Christmas) to help me lose weight and I felt that was a good enough excuse to do some celebrating! Feeling quite happy about it to be honest! A minor victory....

The weekend involves lots of painting(well for lots of other people and cooking for me whilst i try to meet their numerous dietary needs and requirements!). And test driving a car because I have a husband obsessed with getting a new one !
