I'm going on Holiday!!!!!

Comment Published at 15:4615:4618 comments18 comments57 Visits57 VisitsReport

I'm so excited !!!!!

You may or may not know that I have simply the best parents on the planet............

Well they have paid in advance, (I will pay them back one day I know I will.........)

So that the boys and I get to spend half term in October with my brother and family in Iceland

The only thinking that has marred the whole holiday planning though, has been that my supervisor at work told me she couldn't let me have the holiday off from work, unless I found someone to cover me!!  I have been majorly stressed about it, to the point that I made up my mind to quit just before the holiday and start a new job. Today we had a business meeting, just a regular quarterly one at the end of the meeting she asked me if I had managed to sort anything regarding cover for said holiday, I informed her that NO I hadn't, it was half term so people I had asked, were going to have their own children off of school themselves so couldn't do it, I did make a stand..................quite brave for me.................letting her know that I was definitely going and if she fired me for it then so be it........

Straight away she told me that wouldn't be necessary, she didn't want to lose me!!!!! I HAVE the holiday YAY!!!!!!!!

So relieved...........

But also so decided, its time to drop the security blanket of this job and find something much more challenging!!!

Bring on October!!!!!!!

That's wonderful!  Terrible of your supervisor to put you under that pressure, however alls well that ends well, isn't it great to know how much you are valued.  How exotic, take tons of totally awesome photos like you did before, it's so exciting ; )  Well done Pauline & Mr Pauline, your champs to help them out like this!

Re: I'm going on Holiday!!!!!

Always plenty of laughter when you and Simon get together, you both seem to laugh at everything. I am not complaining I love to see you all so happy,  You used to laugh at him but now you can LAUGH with him, there is a difference

Do have a lovely time you and the boys deserve it

Love Mum

Re: I'm going on Holiday!!!!!

We are so pleased for you as we knew how much you wanted and needed this trip with the boys to Iceland to see Simon, Sylvia, Jakob and Emily. Now the time off is settled you can look forward to it. I know how much they are longing to see you and the boys.

We also know you are now confident and very capable to find a job more challenging and put you back on your feet.Wishing you every success, in this current economical climate, something WILL turn up

Love Mum
