Wednesday turned out to be a jam packed day. I didn’t need to go in to my clinic until late morning so I painted the shelves in the bedroom, thinking they could dry all day with the window open without me being there to smell the paint. Then I was in my clinic for the [...]

My car insurance is due for renewal, and like most people, I want the best price I can get. Like most people, I’d expect my current insurer to send me a realistic quote. Like most people, in fact, I’d expect my insurance to go DOWN each year based on having made no claims and the [...]

With the derby being a lunchtime kickoff, I needed to be on the road early and felt the latest I could leave was 7.30am. The day was a bad day from beginning (waking up late) to middle (a very late goal losing us the game) to end (coming home to a dead computer!) So…………my day: [...]

At the end of last week, I had to call out the RAC for my car again – a it was dead – again! I was sure it must be a problem either with the battery not getting charged again (so a dynamo or something) or something draining the battery too fast – I’m no [...]

As with most people, I’ve been very busy at work (both jobs) in the week leading up to the Easter weekend, trying to get on top of everything before the four day break. This meant a few things at home just had to be left, so when we got to the weekend, there have been [...]

On Boxing Day, the men were all planning on lazing around at home as they were not going to their game this year. Nel and I set off early for Chester and drove through fog, sleet, rain, and even a little sunshine! That aside, the journey was smooth enough, though it was a bit of [...]

On the 23rd of December, I had a quiet day in my clinic, having already sorted out all my patients for the holiday. I spent it catching up on admin, which was rather satisfying, and then in the evening, Billy came and met me when he finished work. We had arranged to join Roger and [...]

On Friday evening, after my clinic, Billy’s work and Raji’s return with the car (yes, we’re STILL car sharing!) Billy and I set off for Chester to stay the night with mum, as there was no darts that night. We were going together to the City v Sunderland match on the Saturday and since the [...]

My colleague, K, had asked if I could work Friday for her and she’d work Monday so on Monday I was in my clinic seeing patients – which was very weird as I never see them on a Monday. I also managed to contact a company about replacing my car windscreen and they said they [...]

Before going to the match on Saturday, I was taking Stephen to Chester to cat- and house- sit for Mum whilst she was away visiting my brother. Originally, the plan was for Billy and I to have stayed at Langley Castle on the Friday night and then leave early (having to miss out on breakfast [...]
