This coming week is a four day working week for me. I fly out to Barcelona early Friday morning to return the following Wednesday. I can not wait to get away! It has been far too long since I got away, well May feels like a looong time ago.

I can’t help but feel guilty for going away though. I am away for a total of four working days, but just thinking about the work when I get back is scaring me. Since moving into a new team of just two of us, I feel guilty for leaving my 40 files in my team leaders responsibility, when she has already got over 50 files herself.

The only thing I can do is keep a good file handover list and not worry whilst I am away. Don’t get me wrong I can’t wait to get away and it is much needed, but the responsibility of my role makes it harder to let go when I know I’m leaving it all behind. I’m sure I’ll forget what work I had but then get nervous when I get back as to how much I have to deal with.

I will definitely be in holiday mode though, I need this get away. It has been so stressful over the past few months and I need good down time/ relaxation.

Definitely not looking forward to coming back though!

It’s already been three months in my job. I keep saying time flies, and it does.

It has been super hectic at work and my life has been pretty hectic over the last few months. So much has happened, and it’s been great

Work wise, things are good too. Having my own case load is great, as I have control over my files. I have just had my first purchase completion today it has been pretty good. It’s great to see a file finally reach the final stage of completion, especially since I have been dealing with it from the start.

I thought my current case load was stressful enough! I should be getting more files to deal with shortly which is great. I’ve had pretty standard files, so having a complicated file will definitely be a challenge. Also I haven’t dealt with leasehold titles so that also will be a challenge. As well as that, with team members away weekly because it’s holiday season, it’ll definitely be a bigger challenge to get through!
