Sorry for being absent girls, but work really stressed me yesterday, as you know we monitor the Motorway and Trunk Roads, set the speed limits and message signs etc. Well yesterday when the snow came, we were NON STOP answering the phone to members of the public. Constantly for 8 hours I answered the phone to the same questions, before another 4 hours despatching the Traffic Officers. Plus I felt sh**ty anyway with these flu like symptoms (again - I seem to be constantly complaining lately). Well I intended going home and getting pi**ed last night. We picked up a chinese on the way home, I ate half of that, done my farmville for about 30 minutes, and switched the laptop off. I just couldnt chill out. I drank one whisky and went to bed. I feel much better today, but not 100% yet.

Went Food shopping today and I am relaxed a little that I have got all that done. The blooming Turkey Crown was £37!!! I just have to get some prawns and strawberries on Thursday or Friday now and I am all set for Xmas, plus a few more little pressies for the grumpy OH!!!

Oh 'eck .... sounds like we're all 'suffering' from the Christmas strains and stresses eh?

Let's all (me more than most!) try to remember this is supposed to be a time we show goodwill, compassion and love to all. It's easy, with all we have to do, remember, supervise, sort out etc to get stressed and take it out those nearest to us. While it's not easy when 'those around us' SHOULD be able to see what needs doing, do it and just be generally helpful and anticipatory ... in general they don't, so perhaps accepting this - or even expecting this rather than hoping for something that's never going to happen and therefore ending up disappointed and grumpy will mean we don't get so stressed ... I don't know - just a thought .... even though I wish it was different
