I'm on my way home!

Yay!
Got any plans for when you get home?

Hey all :) and believe me after doing nursing slime is just fine by me, I've seen worse :P

Haha, I'm not bothered by the slime to be honest! It's an oddly satisfying job. =P

I think I would be bothered by the stuff that's worse than slime that you've had to deal with...!

I've seen some sh*t (literally) being a HCA so slime shouldn't be too bad!
Still ew though!

See, I used to be fine with mopping up all kinds of bodily fluids but I'm quite squeamish these days!!

Though I have to go back to that soon, not sure how that will go!!

I reckon I'd be okay with pond slime though!

Fun times!
I want to go back to that sort of work for some reason!

I'm sure you'll be able to when you're ready!

You can come do it for me if you like. I'll need to keep the money though :P

That sounds like a pretty crap deal tbh :tongue2:

Well... not for me! :P

Hello!

Hi! =)

Evening everyone.

I've been asleep since 3pm :/

It's got to be a no Hannah :p

Hi Aubergine!
How are you?

Must have needed the sleep Lillie!

If I plan an impulse trip, would it still be considered impulsive and therefore a cause for concern?

I think the clue is in the phrase "impulse trip". Maybe it is a cause for concern if you're worried it might be.

Meh. I never think anything is a cause for concern. Which often means there is :laugh:
Ain't life crazy :tongue2:

Methinks, financially wise, you'd best plan a trip to the local park beckie!

I'm still so so tired.

That is a very good point Lillie!

When do you usually go to bed?

Hello again! Sorry to disappear. Was really supposed to be listening to things in church. :wow:


How're you guys?

Hey Aubergine!
How was church?

Im ok.
Looking forward to bed because fresh sheets and PJs!

Oooo fresh sheets are awesome! And clean PJs. I'm jealous! Maybe I will change my sheets before bed... :D Though I have slept under a sheet to start with the past couple of nights - so hot! lways wake up under my duvet though.


Church was good. Pentecost. :)

Glad church was good Ducky :)

I had clean sheets last night. Such a good feeling!

I usually go to bed about half 9, 10 on a Sunday. It gets earlier as the week goes on lol.

Ooo that's the best beckie!!

Glad you had a lovely time aubergine :)

Glad church was good :)

It is the best feeling!
I struggle to sleep not under a duvet, regardless of heat!
I need the weight on me.
Not sure why!

Bedtime soon then Lillie?

Hey Hannah. :) How are you?


Hooray for clean sheets! I think I'm going to have to make the effort to put some on my bed...

I'm the same Beckie, I can't usually sleep without a duvet. I just stick a leg out if it's hot :P

Doooo it Ducky, it will be worth it!

I'm okay. I just painted my nails bright pink.

Yep I stick a leg out when it's hot too!
I also have a fan which helps!

Do it Aubergine!
You'll be glad if you do!

Nice Hannah!
I considered painting my nails today but I only have 2 colours and didn't fancy red or turquoise

I'm off to bed now guys
Night night all and sleep well!

I did it!


Night night, Beckie. I hope you sleep well. :)

Oooo nice hannah!

Ahhhh it'll be lush when you get in aubergine. Be glad you did it.

Night beckie, sleep well.

I need to shower and go to bed myself but I still haven't had dinner.

You can do it Lillie. What's for dinner?

Sleep well Beckie!

Yay, well done for doing it Ducky!

But I don't wanna get ready for a full week of work :'-(

Yeah, I get that :( But at least being ready now will make it better in the morning!

True. And I am now clean and bag packed and uniform out for tomorrow. And in bed. Although I did have Ferrero rocher for dinner lol

How're you darling?

Well done, Lillie. :) You're a star. :)


I've been getting excited looking at NHS trainee pharmacy technician jobs. Full-time, so a bit beyond me right now, but the aim is to start looking the first part of 2019 to start later in the year when the new intake starts. :) Only like 18 months. There's no saying I would get a position, as they're competative, but I've got good experience (over 5 years, because I am old) and with the health sciences certificate and my pharmacy qualification, I might be OK. We'll see.

What's the difference between that and what you do at the minute? It's so good to be excited about the future!

Hmmm. I'm just sort of adulting a bit. But Im too ouchy and poorly to sleep. Which sucks as I have to get up at 6.20 for work.

At the moment I am a dispenser in an outpatient department pharmacy. Without doing tech training, there's not much I can do progression wise, other than going into management (back in community) which I would be absolutely terrible at and have no interest in. I don't really want to do the tech training with my current company, because the training in hospitals is much better and more highly regarded if you want to move about within/between hospitals. Plus, I'd never be able to get the evidence required/put in the hours training in a part-time role (I only work 16 hours.) Inpatient pharmacies have different processes etc. I'd really like to go into medicines management, up on the wards and stuff. That's the dream!


Ah Lillie. I'm sorry that you're too ouchy and poorly to sleep. :( *hug* 6:20am is super early. I'm sorry that you can't rest. I'll go for you. :)

Any volunteers to go to work for me tomorrow too?

I'm already doing my job and Lillie's job. Not sure I can split myself in three. :P

Oh Lillie, I'm sorry, that sounds miserable :( I really hope you do manage to get some sleep. *offers gentle hugs*

NP, I'll swap with you if you like :P

Ducky, that sounds really exciting, I'm sure you'd be amazing at it!

Because you all want to see a picture of me and the cat. For a limited time only... :P


Thanks Hannah! :D It's exciting. I should mention that the money is better in the NHS. 75% of the top band 4 pay in a lot of places, then band 4 once qualifying. I might actually be able to afford things! Like a car, once the DVLA let me drive. :wow:

I don’t want to swap, just want someone to do it for me while I hide away. =P

Hiding is so tempting, Person!

It is. =(

And yay, awesome picture! You both look so content. =D

Such a cute picture Ducky!

Being able to afford things sounds nice. I would like that too :P

Sorry NP :(

I'm dreading going into work too, I have to see my line manager for the first time since I handed in my notice (she's been on annual leave) :(

He's been a proper cuddle monster today. <3 We were pretty content there. He's still asleep on my bed. I should be asleep IN my bed, but I feel all antsy, so I am not asleep in my bed. :wow:


What are you guys up to?

Thanks for the offer though =)

That sounds tricky, Hannah. I think you've been really brave to hand your notice in. How long left?
