    Glad you had a good holiday I am looking forward to going to France to see my brother soon for a week. It probably is the first real break I have had in 15 years. The other so called breaks have been nightmares and planned by my husband. Going to Germany to look after his new born nephew is not a holiday!!
    Going to a wedding in Pakistan believe me is not a holiday!! I expect France to be peaceful and calming (especially since its my side of the family)

    Anyway I wanted to let you all know I lost the case where I was a whistleblower on the NHS. I knew this was likely but I still had to raise serious concerns. The NHS has covered up and manipulated the investigation to get the outcome they wanted. However I have created some changes in behaviour at the top and the community is aware of what's going on. So they will be keeping an eye out and so will I. The NHS has arranged a party within the building I work in to celebrate their victory over me. I feel strong though and I am getting myself back to normal and focusing on family, friends and putting in place things for me for a change. Being a workaholic is making that bit hard but I am working on it. I am the least relaxed person I know!

    Im very sorry you lost the case. It takes great
    courage & tenacity to stand up against a big
    bureaucracy. As for them holding a party !!....
    not out of public funds I hope.

    From what you have said your challenge
    has made some changes and once the
    general public become aware of a situation
    at a hospital etc - it is more difficult for it
    to be repeated. So you should feel you have
    done some good-disappointing tho the result
    must be for you.

    Best wishes and every success in whatever
    change of direction you choose to make
    in your life.!

    And have a really enjoyable & relaxing
    holiday - you deserve it!!

    I think the fact they are celebrating means they know they are in the wrong but it might help them to cover up their feelings of guilt they might be having deep down ... Well done to you anyway to do what you did, you never know, one day this might raise its head again and your evidence will be regarded differently.
    Enjoy your holiday, I hope it will be a relaxing one for you.

    I hope you enjoy your holiday in France and that it's as peaceful and calming as you're hoping it'll be. You seriously need to relax!!! When are you going?

    I'm so glad to hear you're feeling much better - I was worried about you there for you for a while. You're a winner in my eyes no matter what anyone else says, and it sounds like your whole community agrees. Your complaint has ensured changes have been made, which is a brilliant outcome whichever way you look at it. You can be very, very proud of yourself!!!!

    Thank you for your kind messages. I am going on 11th April. My brother made a house for his family , i am so proud of him. Its been hard going as french builders dont follow any instructions you give them apparently. So it took way longer. I have a gorgeous neice and nephews and looking forward to seeing them. They can speak English now so much easier communicating. They love coming to England every year and they can't stop crying when they leave. Much more to do here than in the place they live and they are close to my kids.

    I am scared of flying too and not allowed to drink so nothing can calm me down. Hope you have a great time
