This afternoon I sort of said good bye. There are well no managers in tomorrow so I was given my card and gift today (a book voucher - shop version not Amazon!). I will go in tomorrow but not for long. I feel a little sad but then I guess this is to be expected having worked there for 5 1/2yrs now.
This is what I bought and this is what I will be reading over the next few days and taking with me on Monday! The O'Reilly books are always very good and well respected in the techy world so I don't think I can go wrong with this! It's more than a beginners book as it assumes some basic knowledge which I think I have!!
I'm looking forward to Monday. To the start of my new life! Someone described it as going to a new school and that's how I feel! Excited but scared! I have new people to meet, names to remember, facts to remember. New skills to learn and everything! They did employee another person at the same time, so hopefully their contract was delayed too and we will both be starting together on Monday!
I've told husband that I can't join the gym ... sensible head says however lovely it wasn't I can't (Gnome is not impressed as he really wanted to go! I expect he will forget this fact very quickly). This meant I also said that I will be running straight from work (tready is there for that reason isn't it!) as I pointed out I may not be able to run at lunch blah blah blah blah. He seemed fine with this! The boys have sausages/burgers or chicken nuggets maybe pizza 2-3 times a week when dad cooks so these will be my running days.
The office has one of these fancy cashless systems and my plan is to put say £40 (£10 per week) on my card and that's it. Meaning I must take my own lunch (soup or sandwiches), unless of course they have a salad bar and it's stupidly cheap!.
I intend to walk most lunchtimes around the lake as apparently there is a 3m walk (I will use the 201 to confirm this mind!). I've also checked the map out and think I may have found a better way into work to avoid the main road into Leicester but need to check this out!
I'm very positive about this move and can see myself staying for some time if it all works out how I hope it will!
In the meantime I have a long run planned for tomorrow and shopping leaving me the weekend free to do the kitchen! But no ... to bed! Nite!

Mr Frag the Unix guru says that if you ever need to contact him about any problems then you've got his email address haven't you?
I'm *so* happy for you - you go girly!!
thanks Frags!
Rob I've been grinning since you gave me permission of a micro bounce this morning!!
I'm now free and debating when to run ... pre school run or post school run! Oh so many choices!
