An Extra

I went to Yoga this morning, I'm hoping to make this a regular feature of my week. I am really enjoying it, and it gives me a chance to catch up with a couple of friends. Afterwards, one of my friends and I went for a coffee and put the world to rights. Although she did tell me that my Eldest has been bullying one of her kids. She didn't call it bullying, but I certainly do.

So as you can imagine, after school, the Eldest and I had a very frank chat about what is bullying...and bullying definitely is telling your younger sister who she is and is not allowed to talk or wave to/play with. As things panned out, not long after the conversation happened, the child was passing our home, so I sent the Eldest out to apologise...bitterest part of the pill to swallow. The Youngest was also given a Talk as well.

We ended up with 3 extras this afternoon, neighbourhood kids who came knocking. The Eldest had a pre arranged sleepover.

I went out this evening with my old workmates...well some of them. One of my friends had her last day today. When she gave her resignation, one of the Directors asked her to withdraw her resignation, then said, "well I've not really seen much of you, and what I have seen makes me think you've not really fitted in anyway." Another Director (who was my direct boss) apparently shouted at her, swore and said that "karma would come back at her". This was overheard by others. Then today, at the after work leaving drinks, this Director said to her "If I wanted to be really horrid, I could ring Immigration and tell them to pull your residency application".

Way to make someone feel like they've made the right decision!!!! Makes me glad to be gone.
