A productive day...mainly

Had a productive morning in the office.

However, i've now realised I'm earning less than minimum wage. Which really annoys me, especially as i've asked for a pay rise previously. Got my kick ass employment law buddies checking out my contract. I'm a bit worried as it came up in conversation with some of the mums at the pool, and they were annoyed and shocked i was getting paid so little for the huge amount of work i do. Then my boss was talking to them, and i think they mentioned it to him. I think hes going to want to see me tomorrow and tell me off.
Feel like i'm always screwing up, but i really do work so so hard and come out with such a pittance of pay. I teach private lessons, cover group lessons, sort out all the admin, deal with all the crap from parents and come out with less than the teachers.

Urgh....just pees me right off that I work so hard, and there are scummers out there who do sod all and get more money than me to live on. Dont get me wrong I love my job, but i feel i deserve more.

On a more food related thing, today has been a good day. Made a tasty Quorn chilli for tea served with rice and lettuce. Was yummy!
Also I rode my bike to the office, to the pool and home again.

so yea, the day has ended well!
Hope you are all well :) xx

Another day, Another positive start!

Finally think I might be getting this jet lag sorted. Am up before 9, so hopefully will get my ironing done today! After a healthy and nutritious filling breakfast!

I just read everyones comments on my first blog entry and i just wanted to say THANK YOU! They've made me assess the way I'm thinking about things and they're definitely going to help me. so thanks again.

Also, there have been a few comments on facebook from you guys. Saying the same sort of stuff, don't be so hard on myself etc.
And you know what, you're right!

Oh, and my lovely husband has taken the car today...which means I have no choice but to use my bike! Which is great really :)

So, here we go!
