Just for a couple of days? madness!That I should take antidepressants for a couple of days if I was feeling down. 10 days after giving birth. Thanks midwife.
Yep! I’ve been on them before so I know how they work, so when she said “a few days” I was like um no you crazy old bag that’s not how it works.Just for a couple of days? madness!

Isnt it funny how different our parents are with grandkids? My dad loves me very much but he was never warm and fuzzy growing up, with MM he is honestly the biggest softie you’ve ever seen.Most of my stupid advice has come from my mother in law and honestly it explains why my partner is the way he is a lot of the time. She’s the complete opposite of maternal it’s a wonder she even had kids! She is great with baby T though, so affectionate which my partner said she was never like that with him or his brother.
I don't think I've ever had as many sweets from my parents in 34 years of life as my niece & nephew have had from my parentsIsnt it funny how different our parents are with grandkids?

This one takes the cakeTo not hold him to much as will stop his bones from growing
I absolutely love that you have a work crushSo sorry, this is as off topic as you could possibly get but my long standing work crush has pinged me on LinkedIn for a coffee and he said seeing me on his birthday would be a good birthday present and added a wink emoji and I’ve literally blushed like a school girl. Then I’ve completely brushed over the flirty message and told him I’m waiting on a calendar invite but what time can he make
I have multiple, one of which is my overall boss at my current work which honestly I have absolutely never verbalised. I’m quite open about the LinkedIn work crush - with my old colleagues and they think it’s hilarious (but we fancy each other so this has provided great amusement to all for the past decade). For some reason my type in work appears to be mathematicians help me 🫠I absolutely love that you have a work crush

Another settling in session tomorrow and they’ve added two extra for next week which is good.
Still not heard from that bloody job and I know exactly what’s happened- they have probably offered it to someone else and I’m the back up. Which is fine but don’t tell me you’ll get back to me in a few days, it’s now been a week,
Also well fucked off with my work cover- my board needs a new president who I work closely with. There’s two candidates and my cover emailed the board and my direct reports saying I have a favourite so one of my reports has now flagged that it’s not a fair process and I just don’t understand how my cover ran a multinational company then bloody puts that in an email 🫠
