There's nowt better than a spot of gardening or pottering on the allotment to make you feel better I'm in a job that is 'ok' and have a right witch of a boss but whenever she tries to upset me (and the rest of the other staff) just mentally switch off and think about the allotment

I think there's also something incredibly soothing and fulfilling about working on a garden/allotment that no amount of gadgets and technology will ever beat!

So that is why she has her Wicked Witch moments She was in a right fettle with herself the other day and I honestly thought the manger was going to walk out yet yesterday was in the shop in the afternoon for two hours and was in a good mood and showing me photos on her phone and chatting away like me best mate She's off away on holiday for the next ten days from tomorrow so a calm will settle over the shop once more

Glad you're feeling better Brownie....bosses that make others' lives a misery really annoy me - surely a good atmosphere at work = happy workers which equals good productivity I just let it all wash over me now - work is just something I have to do to get the pennies to get goodies for my allotment. As hubby always says...it's not how you earn the money but how you spend it that counts!
