Hey Everyone
Was gutted not to have a signal at my B&B last night so couldn't get online
Was staying in a very old house in the middle of nowhere... somewhere in East Sussex just north of Lewes (gorgeous town - would have loved to explore.... but it was dark, I never got to my B&B till nearly 6.30pm)
V busy day yesterday... today hasn't been so bad, only had to drive up to london for 3 appointments.. and missed out one of those! It was in Kensington.. and I couldn't be arsed to sort out paying for the congestion charge!!! So I figure the office can send the bloody pressie in the post! Just done my last appointment nr Marlow and am on way home! Which is good... coz i haven't got anymore foodpacks on me.. had one tetra this morning at about 10am.... got to wait till i get home now for another!
Dying to weigh myself... am having scale withdrawal!!!!
Right will go catch up on some threads

Kirstin, you crack me up - can't believe that you missed us that much that you stopped at a services and logged on - you should've got on one of those scales that measure your BMI etc to feed your addiction!! I really missed you though!! How silly does that sound, but you make me laugh - love the comment on my thread - your title, he he! BF stays in places like that all of the time as his customers are farmers, so often he's quite remote and it's a nightmare when he cant text etc.
Are you home now? It's not like the company are going to sack you for not delivering that parcel. Is that all your deliveries done now? Are you back to gym and minimins in the day or are they going to make you do other stuff? Have they made up their minds about Xmas car situation yet? So many questions!!! I feel really hyper today, don't know why!!! Think better go to my own diary and rattle on, get it out of my system!!!

Well Lottie... I am kind of an internet addict... so I do start to have palpitations if not connected with the cyber world every 5 mins (I am kidding... I have been known to go a whole... yes thats right ... a WHOLE... 30mins without going online )
Yep I'm home now, I could stay in travel lodges when away.... but I don't like them.. and my budget for hotels is about £45-50 a night.... so since that wouldnt' get me a posh hotel.. I stick with B&B's but the farmstay uk ones, or if i can't get one of those then I spend ages online (shocker) checking out the nicest looking ones!!!!
I have more deliveries to make, notts and northants... and next week I have to go to Ipswich!!! Mum already rang me today panicking about where I was this week! I told her I was there next week, but only passing through, not staying over... she gave me a lecture on what to do if the car broke down etc.
Dunno whether to go to Notts and Northants tomorrow... or just take it easy!!! Obviously as far as office are concerned i'm working!

Hi Chick!
Oh no, Ipswich! Isn't it awful, those poor girls, they are all someones daughter. I hope that they catch him soon - hope that they get the nutter. I haven't seen the news since this morning, so don't know if theres any updates.
Yes, my mum would be ringing me all the time if I was up and down the country all the time - she makes me text her that I'm in safe if shes knows I'm going home to an empty house -I'll quote mum "at least she cares", which I guess is true!
So what are your plans this weekend then Bridget Jones? Are you going out?

Don't think theres any more updates.. other than the two bodies... they haven't been formally identified... its really bad... it doesn't seem real really, seems like a film. Terribly scary when you think it has all happened so fast.
Mum has told me that I have to ring someone everyday when I'm away from home... no fear there... i get terribly bored whilst driving, so am always on the phone - purely coz i can't use the internet whilst driving of course!
Well it is my old works xmas party on Friday.. not sure if i'm going, i've been invited... but since I hate most of the people that are left there, I'm not sure.. my mate wants me to go.. but this is the mate that has made me hate the place even more than i did when I worked there! Coz she moans about how horrible it is there... but then just carries on with her job without looking for a new one.. shes waiting for a job offer to just drop out of thin air i believe!!! So originally I was gonna go socialise.. if only to show off my new cheekbones lol... but now I'm really not sure! Apart from that I'm not out at all I don't think... not gonna get v far on this pulling a bloke by end of Jan really am I, if i don't go out!
I like the bridget jones ref btw..... I can definately see resemblance between me and her...... although obviously I swapped vodka for sparkling water! Oh and theres no colin firth creature lurking around

BTW
Ex was happy with his rock bun!!!! Even though it was a bit bashed and battered by the time he got it...
He dropped Buster off for me, collected his rock bun and then told me he was off to KFC.. for a bumper bucket... just for him, i told him he was a greedy bar steward... and toddled off for a nutritious shake!

I don't know how you travel and get biccies and buns in your room and smell brekkies etc and not just want to give in to them, respect !
My dog Buster is white and brown and creamy and I looked at him today and thought "belgian chocolate seashell". OMG am I losing it or what ? Too many xmas choccy adverts on the TV !

LMAO!!!!! Thought it was bad thinking dog food looked edible.... so far my mouth hasn't started watering at the sight of Buster (my buster, not urs lol)...... although now I come to think about it.. he is a bit on the chubby side, maybe i've been secretly feeding him up!

Mmmm, need to get you out on the pull young lady, showing cheek and collar bones off and your other assets
!! And you need to be wearing that dress before it gets too big!! I feel like going out as well - I'm out tomorrow night, a Xmas do, with a difference - will send you a link. (Just done that)Just read what you posted on my thread as well, this subscription thing is mad, I'm in the middle of one message but reading the next one!! It's a hive of activity!!
When I typed the BJ reference, I hoped you wouldn't take it funny - pleased I didn't offend, I love BJ as theres a bit of her in all us women I reckon. I certainly do - for example - if this diary is not like BJ's what is? For example the big long email about the hold-up stockings that you had purchased and delayed your journey so that you could take them with you!! Are you Helen Fielding?
So, we need to find you a man, I'm a right Cilla you know!! And he will have a bit of Colin in him. (And I don't mean those two Scottish interior designers!)
I think I'm going to bed now! But I'll read any updates in the morning before my swim!! It's a nice start to the day reading minimins!
I was thinking i'd rather have a bit of Colin in me!!!!! (sorry everybody I lowered the tone!)
As for the stockings thing, i never did let u know about that.. they never arrived in time... obviously that must be the reason why nothing happened with Steve..... it was all the stockings fault!
Dress is already a bit too big TBH!!! But it will do for xmas.. may get it taken in afterwards!
Day 59
Wasn't disappointed when I jumped on the scales this morning, i'm down to 13 stone exactly.. so have lost 3lbs so far this week. I doubt that that extra pound will disappear by tomorrow though... so I will fail at my challenge with Lottie to be in the 12's by the 15th.... but never mind... bloody 13 stone feel good enough and hopefully will be in the 12's by Monday!

Couldn't resist a quickie reply... Brilliant!!!!!!! 13 stone is ace!!! I wish I was doing as well! And do not discount getting to our goal tomorrow, you may well do - especially if you go and have a steam before you weigh in!!! Oh no, I bet thats not allowed with your scabs either (sounds awful if people haven't read why you are scabbie, LOL). Better go!!!!
hehe maybe if i go and give "birth" and sit in a sauna all night i may lose that last pound before tomorrow.... somehow I doubt it though!
Decided i'm not going to my old works xmas party tomorrow night, so got my dress from the cleaners for no reason... really can't see the point in socialising with a bunch of people whom the majority of which I can't stand!!!!! So i'll just watch movies and sulk me thinks!!!!!
I'm never gonna pull a guy before the end of jan.. not unless they knock on my door at this rate!!!!!!
lol thanx for informing people i'm scabby!!!!

know THAT feeling soooooo well! x
GRRRRR!
I tell u, i have never worked for such a crap company before!
Some of the main things that get to me and caused me to look for another job is the fact they are prehistoric.. they pay by cheque, so my wages are supposed to credit my account on last day of month.... but in actual fact this normally means the cheque arrives with my bank then and then it has 5 days to clear.
So because it is my last working day next friday for them, i rang up and asked the MD's wife (who does the wages) if i could collect my final wage cheque next Monday.. coz if i had to rely on xmas post and the fact there is only three working day during xmas week it would prob be nearer 7 Jan before the cheque cleared... she said she wouldn't have the cheque ready until Wednesday, so i said fair enough and thought i'd go in that day instead of Monday. She said this was fine.. and then said its ur last day Friday isn't it.. I said yes.. can't help thinking they are gonna FCUK me over and do me out of a weeks wages.. I handed my notice in giving four weeks notice, last day would be 29 December... therefore they have to pay me for the holiday week too... or give me the hols back.... i could just be being paranoid... but i'm not sure... they are so damn dodgy to work for.... Also there is the fact they owe me expenses... I never trust that they get paid on time and am always out of pocket - once I was out of pocket by £700 in one month.. which is a hell of a lot when u take into account my rent, council tax, etc... doesn't leave a whole lot to live on!
Anyway.. thats gripe number one... she then said how are u going to get the car back, i said I was waiting for Jim (my direct boss) to tell me, i'd said i would bring it back during the holiday and drop it at his house in Manchester as it is easier for me to get home from there than it is Stoke where the office is..but he hasn't confirmed this is okay yet... she said this isn't possible... it has to be delivered to the office... so I said fine I will drop it in to the office during the holiday.. she said there would be nobody at work during that week (although I have seen a holiday cover list on the wall in my bosses office so feel sure she is lying!).. I was getting more and more pissed off with her (i can't stand her!), so I said I would speak to my boss and sort it with him.... I reckon they are gonna say the car has to come back next Friday..... which leaves me stuck in Huddersfield for the whole of the holidays.. no turkey and veg at my parents on xmas day.. or pressies for that matter.. because mum and dad aren't gonna do a 3 hour round trip to pick me up for dinner and then another 3 hour round trip to drop me off so i can get back to buster!!!! Bar Stewards!!!!!!!!!!!
My new company has said they would let me have car early... but since my current company hasn't actually confirmed my above suspicions I can't even arrange that yet... but they can bu88er off if they think i am delivering the car back next friday to stoke and then having to pay for a train home.. they want the car in stoke next friday then can bloomin well pick it up themselves..!!!!!!!!

Bleep Bleep Bleep Bleep!
They're taking the bleeping car off me!
Boss just rang to say they need the car back next Friday, I pointed out that I gave one months notice which means my official last date is 29 December and that as part of my contract I am entitled to and pay tax for the car.. which means they should by rights give me the car until the 29th... he said he understands but his hands are tied... as are mine coz what am i to do, take them to a tribunal for the sake of one weeks car use!
So i have no car as of next friday! They will give me a lift to manchester on the friday and then i have to get the train home.... bleeping bleepers!!!!!!!
I checked with him that they were paying me for the full months notice and he said yes as far as he knew (i tell u he is a waste of space!), I said well if they aren't I want to know now as they owe me 3 days holiday! So i think all is in order with regards to pay at least.... gonna ring my new boss up now and see if there is any chance of him giving me the car for early, he did offer... so lets hope he says yes, or I will be having a damn lonely xmas day!

honey, don't give them the car back unless you are a) happy that you have been paid everything they owe you and b) treat you as a human being.
You will be taxed on your P11D on that car right up to the 29th december therefore they are in breach of contract if they make you hand it over. I would get your pay, bank it, call in sick on the Friday and drop the car off at the office on the 29th. That way you have met all your legal requirements and so have they! Sorry... but if they want you to play ball they have to too!
Definitely wouldn't give the car back before the 29th! Definitey! lol xx

Thanks Jennie... my mate said same thing... maybe I should email them and say this is my intention.. or at least call in sick on the Friday and let them work out for themselves how they're gonna get the car back!
But i think they can get round the finishing on the 29th thing.. coz the 27th, 28th and 29th are holidays that I had to save to have over xmas.. I am being paid for them.. my boss said.. so I think they can say i finish on the 22nd and that they are paying me for holidays not taken??? Which means they will still have paid me for the full month.. but i will have finished on the 22nd??
I'm not sure how it works... do u think they have a point if they use the above?
BTW thanx for giving me the P11D info... could be useful for if i send an official sounding email.
They don't deserve me to drop the car off after the months I have put up with them messing me around with the paying of my expenses!

no probs... hmm. It all depends what date they put as your finishing date on your P45. THAT is the date that your P11D will use to confirm your time in their employment and, therefore, in receipt of a car as a taxable benefit... I guess that once you have your P45 you will be able to make a decision.
Also, note, they will fill in your P11D for the time you were with them and should send you a copy in the post (when the end of year tax returns are filed) but the dates should tally with the date on your P45, if not then you will have to contact your tax office at that time and dispute it.
You are entitled to holiday pay, it is mere coincidence that you are leaving in the midst of bank holidays.
If you had booked those 3 days as holiday and normally get holiday pay for them, and in your letter of resignation your final day is stated as Dec 29th, and it is on that basis that they accepted your resignation, then that is that. You are still in their employ until the 29th and your P45 should reflect this. You should receive your P45 with your final pay cheque so will be able to check then.
IF the date on your P45 is the 22nd and they have only paid you to then, they will owe you an additional 3 days pay.
If the date is the 22nd and they have paid you the 3 days then you will have to return the car on the 22nd as that will be the date submitted to the Inland Revenue, although they are then accepting only 3 weeks notice (effectively) and you could argue that they are in breach of your contract and denying you a weeks wages.
Hope this helps and that you get it all sorted out ok. not good to leave under a cloud, but you have to stand up for your rights and if you are going to be paying for the car to the 29th then you damn well keep it until then!
