My eldest daughter has asked to go part time where she works. They have said no, so they lose a fully trained employee who can actually do the job. Sad really, some companies are short sighted.
Yes, all good thank you.You're right, it really does feel like that!
Hope you are OK mate!
I have run out of disposable gloves . Looks like yet another trip to scroo fix .

Ah, the housemaids outfit ---Well I am doing housework...
He wasn't going to share that with you lot.... traitorAh, the housemaids outfit ---
And don't forget you could only take £10 spending money with you.Weather fine down here today.
Wifey very angry then tearful this a.m. Totally fed up with the way we are being stymied at every turn, mostly me, from going to France. Or indeed anywhere. She even looked at going for a holiday in the UK
But says all the places are booked up and horrendously expensive.
Still she has washed her hair and gone off to meet a mate at Haskins.
I am still trying to download the NHS app which seems to be more or less required if we are ever to travel to France.
Had to go into the surgery twice to get paperwork/computerwork done. Still waiting until they finish their bit. Then MAYBE i might be able to install it on my mobile.
The travel documents we will need reminds me of the sorts of papers you needed to move around in France during the Occupation. Ausweis this, Ausweis that.
Whatever happened to the days, before the EU even, when all you needed to go abroad was a passport and possibly an international driving licence and green card?

I've just had to write an apology email to a large financial corporation after complaining to them for several months that a bank transfer had never arrived in my account.
I've checked and checked my bank statements religiously over the same few months checking to see whether it had arrived or not and as far as I could see, it hadn't, so I was kicking up a stink whenever I called or emailed them.
Anyhoo, I've just checked my statements once again and the transfer did in fact arrive in my account a few weeks after they said they sent it.
Oops
Shudda gone to specsavers

In the times I was thinking of it was a bit more than that, £50 I think, but I was too young to remember exactly. Something to do with Harold Wilson and Exchange control.And don't forget you could only take £10 spending money with you.
