Well my bedroom is almost redecorated. Andrew has spent the last 2 days painting, painting and more painting and will finally be finishing tomorrow (just the last coat on the shelves and the skirting to do). I have to admit that I was very unsure on Friday when the first 2 coats of paint went on the walls, but I think once it's completed and the furniture is back in place it'll be fab - and the white definitely makes the room look bigger. Now I just have to figure out storage solutions!
I have spent the last few days sorting through the stuff that has come out of my bedroom and am pleased to say that I have managed to earmark quite a bit of it for disposal. I am still baulking at the idea of just chucking it, but am not sure whether I can face attempting to sell it on e-bay and I know I can't be bothered to do a bootfair with it (and I certainly don't want to have to hang on to it for months until the weather improves). The good thing is that hopefully my bedroom will look a lot less cluttered, although I am sure that finding a decent storage solution would help and that needs to become a priority.
There is a staff meeting at the pub later today. I will be interested to see what happens and what is said as many rumours have been going round since it was announced a couple of weeks ago. I've heard that Gary has said it will be a one-way meeting with him talking and everyone else listening (yeah, lot's of luck mate!) and I've heard that at least 3 members of staff are going to be severely criticised (nope not me ... well not if he wants to live). However, the thing I most want to see is if our new landlord is going to be there. Yep, you heard it a new landlord. It came as a bit of a shock to everyone as we were all still waiting for the pub to be advertised, but it appears that Sarah the Area Manager has somehow played dirty and advertised it without allowing anyone who might be vaguely interested in applying actually see the advert. Therefore instead of Steve getting the pub (as we had all been expecting and waiting for, with Fred and June being turned down already) today some guy turned up with his other half and spent approximately 10 minutes looking the place over. He did not bother to introduce himself, nor did he even say hello (not a good start I would say). This was a complete bolt out of the blue as Steve only found out about him this morning and is understandably not happy. Have to say my first impressions were not positive - I mean how rude is it that he couldn't even be bothered to say hello to the staff? So we'll see what happens. The interesting (and quite depressing) thing is that more and more I am hearing customers saying that they think the pub will be closed down soon. I really hope this isn't the case as the village really needs to keep its pub, but I find it hard to disagree as I've been thinking that this is the Company's plan ever since Iain arrived. I also heard today that the place that Kate and Wendy work is closing down so it will be interesting to see if they end up making a return to the pub. Perhaps this will give me the push I need to finally leave?
Week 3 of Product Playground has begun and I'm a bit ashamed to say that I haven't even looked at it yet, let alone done anything. I completely failed with Week 2, although in my defence I couldn't get my craft stuff out due to a full lounge, but I suspect Week 3 is going to be much the same. I wonder if I'll actually get anything done before the end of the course? Mind you I'm not sure the rest of the sinners are keeping up either *LOL*
Finally, Happy Birthday to Sharona - hope you have a good one. Sorry matey - card will be on its way as soon as I get some stamps!
