<p>Lol .. he bactracked very quickly</p>

<p>Joanne has posted some pics</p>

<p>Lol ... it was so funny ... especially when you ended up eating it</p>

<p>Great to meet you, Gary and the Kids, the boys got on really well, we're still peeing ourselves at you giving in with the ice-cream lol</p>

<p>So did you have fun and are you glad to be back? ... missed ya!</p>

<p>Welcome Home xxx</p>

<p>Just you bring yourself back lol ... Nigel up for getting together when you and Nic come back. can't believe it's come around so quickly ... make the most of it Mal and force yourself to enjoy the beer and pork pies ... safe journey to you both</p>

<p>When are you off Mal, do you want to arrange a date for when you come back, We're happy to venture NOR or you can come to us</p>

<p>Yes, but I put that down to the wonky central heating at work lol</p>

<p>cheeky bugger ... I'm only 45!!! .... can't decide Red, blonde or Brown ... maybe a bit of each.</p>

<p>Just wondering what colour would suit me best lol</p>

<p>Just off to buy some hair colour in case you turn my hair grey lol :0)</p>

<p>Not a bad idea about the hotel Mal, gives you a bit of space. Your mates will be pleased to see you i'm sure.</p>

<p>Not long to go for your trip back to the UK Mal, bet Nic is getting excited</p>

<p>We're all good, recovering from a very intense 2 week visit by the rellies ... tired, kids back to school today which is good, but also means that riding lessons start again and Soccer twice a week ....</p>

<p>Wishing the 'little Man' a very happy birthday for Wednesday x x x</p>

<p>Yeah ... so tired, didn't get to bed until 3.30 am then awake at 6.30 and not able to get back to sleep. Working a late today so until 9.30pm ahhh</p>

<p>what you up to Deb?</p>

<p>I'm just covering someone who is going to be off, facilitating training then annual leave ... still it's a lovely change and different to seeing people at home.</p>

<p>I love it ... although I've not done a late shift yet :0), there's a lot of pressure in ED to clear the beds , so you're working under a bit of pressure .. but I'm really enjoying myself. Already wish it was longer than a 3 months secondment</p>

<p>We're being told to save 3% and normally when people go on leave they don't get filled if it's shorter than 3 weeks, so relying on others to pick up the slack. All casual staff at armadale (in mental health) are being asked to go on short term contracts (to cut money being paid out to casuels and agency staff). Glad we came over when we did, Nigel said he would still have come, but it would have given me second thoughts I think.</p>

<p>Hi Ali, no, I've replied to everything you've sent me ... did you send it to my home computer? Try again</p>

<p>Hugs</p>

<p>Well congratulations ... I missed that one didn't I .. big hugs and kisses xoxoxox The secondment is still at Armadale, a Clinical Nurse Specialist (SRN 3, which'll mean nowt to you but someat to Nic lol). It's in ED working as psych liaison for 3 months, really looking forward to the change of scenery although there'll be shifts too, Not had the 'operation' (i.e. done the ceremony) yet so not officially a pozzie until I do.</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Give my love to Nic (and the dog)</p>

<p>Hi Mal, how's the PR going ... have you got it yet. I start a secondment on Monday for 3 months .. it'll make a nice change but back to working full time. What you both up to</p>

<p>Sorry I missed your birthday</p>
