Wow!!!! Huge congrats Gina!! I pop back in and all to this fab news!!
Don't worry Brit, you aren't on your own and I just know this is your cycle.
As for me... well I have had a crazy week!!! Talk about all change!! I have decided to not go back on the pill so will be more of a NTNP than TTC I think as have a bit of a major shake up at work. Will bore you with the short version.. hope your sitting comfortably...
As well as the brewery the original family business is printing and Chris' (hubby) grandfather set up a magazine for insurance brokers 60 years ago (next year) and printed it. The printworks has since shut down but the mag lived on even after grandfathers death 6 years ago. A woman was employed about then to sell advertising for the mag and generally pull it all together.
It is only a small team and it is really only her and a typesetter who has worked with us for 25 years! So anyway, the team of 2 (who are pretty poop but as we are trying not to make people redundant at the mo) annuonced last friday that they are going to set up another insurance mag with our ex editor (who was fired about 6 months ago) This in itself is fine, good luck to them in this ridiculous climate it would never get off the ground or be a threat to us.
However, it transpired on monday (after I had a sneaking suspicion about her behaviour - she is obviously a bit thick) that she has been emailing and contacting all our loyal advertisers and customers saying that we have gone bust and that Nov is the last issue, that she is now starting a new mag and that they can transfer their ads to the new magazine!!
It seems really silly but this is my family and incidents like that bring down big companies let alone family run ones. It just made me so angry and upset that she is sitting with me in the very office that used to be chris' grandad trying to destroy 60 years hard work.
Anyway, its over now and it has gone in our favour as the solicitor will deal with it now and having contacted all the advertisers they are desperate not to be seen as having been involved in any way with her and have shown their loyalty by booking loads of extra advertising.
It is such a relief to have her out of here and has brought us together as a united front. On a plus side we already have a person to fill her shoes that interviewed for the brewery sales job who seems fab and she is going to start next week. And I will now work full time until the new year helping her and the new brewery sales guy with all the office stuff. It has all worked out well really but there were alot of tears and sleepless nights.
So consequently I have put job hunting on hold as I am needed here and will now go full time doing all the accounts and payroll (and keeping an eye on the newbies!) and in the mean time I will be letting nature do its bit in the TTC stakes!
Sorry its a bit of an essay!! Loves to all nice to back on the wagon (sort of)

I know I shouldn't giggle but you must be broke with all those tests you're buying. But on a serious note I can understand how frustrating it must be but at least you've got hope (and high temps
).
