Been working too much I am sooo exhausted I'm not sure I can manage another week.  I just keep thinking the money will come in handy to pay the bills and it will all be worth it in the end.  My work has asked me to do loads of hours because they have left themselves so short staffed they just can't cope.  Yet when I ask if I can increase my hours they still say "NO" I am not sure of my rights with regards to whether I can take it further if they won't increase my hours because they have told me they are not recruiting yet they have taken on 3 new members of staff. Also with all the extra hours I am working I am just getting paid standard rate and I am not sure if they have to give me holiday entitlement.  Employees rights, what a joke, we don't have any. 

Alex has been on his best behaviour since the incident on the 4.09.09 and he is still banned from playing any games but he seems to be coping with this.  Still not sure how long this will last but I am willing to wait and see. 

Not feeling great at the moment still having some depressive episodes not sure if it is due to working too many hours or just the onset of the possibility of winter.  My friend has had her op to remove her lymph nodes just waiting for the results of the bone scan.  My other best friend is emigrating to Canada and this will be our last Christmas together she is more than a friend to me she is almost like family so I am trying my hardest to learn to let her go.  She will have a lot to sort out over the next few months as she is planning to leave in July so I truly feel sorry for her and all the work she will have to do. 

That is it for now, hope you are all ok and will catch up with you when I get a moment to stop and relax.
