Morning All!
Bank Holiday Monday.
Sunday went OK apart from some digestive difficulty. We're pretty sure we know what caused that so it's a matter of riding it out now. But something I could have done without, made last night a bit more broken than I'd have liked.
Pray it clears ok, the Sinuses abate and we stay protected here.
Have a good day and stay safe & well.

So if Week 19 was the Backwards Bank Holiday - is this week the Forwards Bank Holiday? Have we now righted the time continuum and got everything back to normal?

No bank holiday today here, but we did have a holiday last Thursday and when that happens most office jobs give a "bridge day" to make a long weekend. Which is nice.
Thunderstorm season seems to be upon us as well, a good, though short, one last night.

Cracking day. Long walk. Lovely sunshine. Touch of gardening. Much play with childrens. Now drinking beer. Ridiculously large chicken pie in mind for tea. Might have a glass of the red stuff later whilst watching Twin Peaks wi' wifey once kids are in bed. Omega Supreme's still set up in base-rocket-tank mode on the dinning room table- Freakin' amazing day.

Morning All!
Tuesday. Home Nine weeks.
Lovely nice relaxed Monday, managed to give Liz a decent day off. Replacement tap ordered Just In Case - one is dripping and changing it may be a challenge, replacement recycle bins ordered
Today involves a food delivery still not got my head straight around that. I also need at some point to work on stepping out the back door. But getting much much better at not needing to wash my hands so much.
Sinuses been a bit heavy in the background last few days, not so good.
Pray today goes OK and for our continued protection from the virus.
Hope you're safe & well.

You'll be fine with the food. You've had nine weeks of them and nothing has happened. Have confidence you are doing everything right and to the best of your abilities.  |

Physical problems giving me a lot of bother. Chest pain and hand pain slightly better, but not being able to do my usual exercises has set other things off. Hoping for another week of being safe from being recalled to work. No communication since the bullying email 14 days ago. Do I get paid tomorrow? No idea.

Liz would like to change how we're doing it. The bending over the sink hurt her back last time We wipe things down as they come in if it is fresh food. That's enough. Tins and packets can be wiped and then left to the side for extra reassurance. It works. You'll be ok Big Phil. |

You are aware of who I work for? Going by own past messages they should have told us by now what is going on as to when they pay us and even how much. No pay slips either, which they previously sent via email a week before due. So yes, I genuinely don't know if I am getting paid tomorrow and/or how much. I'm not needlessly fretting. 100%? 80%? 60%? Prior communication means it could be either of these. -Ralph |

There are things about their practices I cannot discuss in public that would mean that no, they don't.
Again, even if I am paid I have no idea what amount.
I've built up 2 months reserve for when the hammer falls. Not going on UC.

Morning All!
Wednesday.
Tuesday went OK .... ish. Mild panic round the shopping coming in but hey ho.
Very much enjoying the regular prayer meetings the churches in Swindon are running this week. Will need to skip tonight's one for Homegroup though. I *might* try the garden today....
Pray for sinuses please, and head, and that when I open the drugs bag shortly my Sertaline repeat is in it!
Have a good day - stay safe & well.

Charged for an Amazon order that shipped a week ago and never turned up. Amazon Customer service is hard to navigate. Excitement. Now for weekly shop, which will be a challenge as walking and holding things abilities remain impaired.

The actual customer help pages are useless. |

Doing the weekly shop was a world of pain, not helped by the usually pretty well organised Asdaland having blocked off an area, which now causes an instant bottle neck inside the entrance. Getting past the jam packed crowds was a scary moment.
