With my manager being away from work for a fortnight, I have been working four days a week at the hospital to cover, and have been training K, my new job share colleague. We’ve also had extra clinics to run, and we’re trying to organise our office move which is causing me some stress. The [...]

As Sunday was Mothers’ Day, I wanted to visit Mum before I went to my football match so I left the house at about 6.30 am to try and get as much time with her as possible. I had a very easy drive as the roads were clear, and arrived at about 9.45 am. No [...]

As you know, we’ve been hoping to get a couple of older kittens/young cats to join our family, but we didn’t seem to be having any luck finding any. Then after work on Tuesday, Billy smugly told me that there may be two that the RSPCA had who needed re-homing. We didn’t need to discuss [...]

On Thursday night I beat the men to book the use of the TV so I could watch Aalborg v City in the second leg of our UEFA Cup tie. I had the pleasure of Billy’s company for the first half and Raji’s for the second half – though Raji got the better end of [...]

Nel has seen a dietician a couple of times as there was some concern about the fact that she is losing, rather than gaining weight. I think the worry was that she was anorexic, but both Nel and I knew otherwise. However, she’s been to the appointments, and in the course of these, she was [...]

This game being on Setanta, I commandeered the TV and watched, though I didn’t expect anything from it. The most I hoped for was a good performance. (Especially since ManUre had lost spectacularly in their game the previous day – their “big” game against Liverpool which had been hyped up in the media all week [...]

About a year ago Billy updated my business and personal phones for me, and I still love them as much as ever. However, for the last week or so, my business phone (E61) has inexplicably started lighting up every 20 minutes or so, then going dark again. I took it into the shop where Billy [...]

On Friday we played The Globe at home (it should actually have been next week but we brought the game forward as both teams had a bye.) I had the beginnings of a migraine (from the painting I think) and Billy was very tired after a long day followed by a double driving lesson so [...]

On Thursday night I watched City play Aalborg in the UEFA Cup – on the TV, being (again) unable to afford the petrol to go down to Manchester. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this one, though I did think it would be a tough game. I certainly didn’t expect City to make [...]

On Tuesday morning, I decided to go to Tesco at Kingston Park to get some more magnolia paint and carry on with my decorating, and whilst there, I’d pick up the few bits of Nel’s food that I can’t buy in Hexham (mainly her gluten free pizzas) so I would then be able to do [...]
