Angie now has a job in a sandwich bar. Pay isn’t much good but it’s better than nothing. Her partner also has some more lecturing work so at the moment things are looking a bit better for them.
Sue has been signed-off as fit to return to work full time starting Monday 5th November. She only has to do a 4 day week this week and next as she’s on a girlie weekend trip to Dublin in the early hours of Friday 9th.
Mark’s girlfriend was on “half term” from Manchester Uni last week, so went and stayed with Mark in his Uni digs in Nottingham. They then spent most of the weekend with us.
Andy’s learnt that he’s in line for a loyalty bonus if he stays with his current employer for another 3 years. If the money they have indicated is actually payable then it will be worth his while to stay long enough to collect. His girlfriend went out to an 18th birthday party Saturday night and got blotto. Andy got a phone call from a mutual friend suggesting he collect her, which he did, only to deposit her back home to her mother. Sunday morning she had no recollection of how she came to be home with mum or how she got there.
At the weekend I rang Don & Liz for a chat – it’s good to hear their voices again. Don’s not having much luck with his health at the moment, too many bugs doing the rounds and hanging on in there when he’d rather they found another victim. I’ve just gone back into work this morning after taking Monday & Tuesday off with a cold and sore throat. Still not 100% but fortunately I’m “between assignments” at the moment with not a lot to do.
Things seem to have settled down as far as Mum & Dad are concerned. We help out with bits of shopping and dog walking and John did some jobs for Mum while he was up last week (Thursday & Friday). First I knew he’d been up was when I rang Dad and he said I’d just missed John as he’d set off for home. As I went down with the cold the next day it was probably as well he didn’t pay us a visit.
