It was absolute heaven to only work Monday and Tuesday last week, and although I was busy with a few thousand repeat prescriptions in my clinic, I was looking forward to having a normal Thursday and Friday. Laura decided to come to Tesco with me on Thursday as it was the start of the school [...]
Since I am behind with my blogging (hope to catch up this week) I thought I’d pinch this idea from Geepeemum to keep you amused for a couple of minutes. 1. Where/how did you meet? We met on a football message board. (Sadly the site now has no message board – a great shame as [...]
Although I tend not to go to the effort of debating summer closed-season football happenings, I do try and keep up with any FACTS involving City or general football. I hate speculation and can’t be bothered with it all, so I wait until deals are done and announcements made before I get too involved. Not [...]
As if it hasn’t been enough hard work covering 3 weeks holiday at the hospital, we have two policies at the moment which are causing chaos. We’ve been coping as best we can for weeks now, but on Friday, I blew my top. It’s ridiculous and not fair on staff trying to cope, and certainly [...]
It’s been a tough few weeks and just as the end is in sight, our Sky+ box has decided to die. Slowly – but nevertheless, it’s dying. We can now only watch recorded programmes on it, no live ones – and without Sky, we can’t get TV at all here (poor signal area), so we [...]
We’ve been invited to a birthday party, the 50th birthday bash of an ex-colleague of mine, with whom I’ve stayed in touch. We worked together at the dental practice which I joined as a dental surgery assistant, straight from school and she is lovely. She mentioned when I saw her last year, that she’d be [...]
Laura has said for some time that she thought I might quite like to watch one of her DVD’s. She usually watches Anime and Manga which don’t really interest me. However, one of the Manga series was made into a film (2 films actually) and so I agreed to watch it sometime. Since I’ve been [...]
Well I’ve survived two of the three weeks that I am covering Lee’s holiday at the hospital. It’s been really hard because it isn’t simply a case of turning up, working, and going home. It’s a case of doing the household chores before and after work, but also of giving people a lot of my [...]
At the hospital, as part of the NHS 60th birthday celebrations, we all received a little envelope from our top brass: Ooooh! How exciting! Maybe all our hard work IS appreciated! Quick! Tear it open….. A Key-ring trolley token? !!!!!!!! Words fail me!
We’ve had it in mind for a while now (before Billy’s mum came to stay, actually (which would have been VERY handy)) to have a spare computer in the spare living/bed room. We thought it would be good for any guests, or if the children have friends round and want to all use the computer [...]
