The call very much credited Martin with the current turn of events. We will assess your claim in detail when you're next on.
Absolutely true story: Martin popped out mid call to see if his local TKMaxx has one

The call very much credited Martin with the current turn of events. Not convinced I deserve the credit. I bought my Webstor many months ago. It would be a very delayed reaction if down to me. Leech was a more recent purchase, and has not yet been sighted in shops. Martin |

Morning All!
It's Wednesday
Yesterday: Very Poor Day Physically. Settled myself in front of the TV with Abominable Snowmen (colour version) while Liz taught. J had some timetabling fun in college. Evening went OK, stumbled on some book goodies online and did some stuff for Liz. FF Epic 8 showed up! But so tired and so much pain.

I'd like to think that Phil would take some toys to occupy him while being a 'responsible adult' in a meeting.

Morning All!
It's Thursday
Yesterday: Bad start after a bad night, felt like I led the Prayer Meeting on autopilot. More nonsense from the DWP, a phone call may be necessary. Did the commentary on Abominable Snowmen, special features and Recon to go. Good homegroup but Liz spotted the moment when I ran out of go and had to retire hurt. Weather had an impact all day.
Today: L teaching, J college. L & I out for lunch.

You may recall this from a few weeks back about letters from the DWP: About a month ago the DWP wrote to enquire about the money I earn from my part time/temporary job and sent me a nice form to fill in. We sent them back the standard letter by return of post stating that "I have been absent from work long term sick since late 2005, meaning I am working zero hours per week and also meaning that I am doing no voluntary work. I am receiving “Permanent Health Insurance, Arranged by my Employer, where the contract of Employment has not ended” and thus doesn’t count for the purpose of making an Income Calculation for Employment & Support Allowance." and pointing out that these circumstances didn't fit the form they'd sent me. I got a letter back late last week confirming my benefit would continue and, DATED THE SAME DAY, a duplicate letter & form arrived enquiring about the money I earn from my part time/temporary job..... I've waited till this month's payday, and thus payslip evidence, before replying. You'd think they'd have got the message by now...... Yesterday I got the acknowledgement letter saying my benefit would continue..... and another letter with the form in it for the THIRD TIME!!! Currently on hold to the DWP...... |

Morning All!
It's Friday
Yesterday: Better morning, thanks to a decent night's sleep. Nice lunch out which ended with a fall that affected the rest of the day. The news early evening threw Jonathan a bit and has meant I've needed to reshape the plan I had for leading this morning.
Today: Leading 8am: Not sure what else. J out this evening.

Morning All!
It's SATURDAY!!!!
Yesterday: That was a bit of a day. Led 8am Prayer Meeting: I'd volunteered to do it on the back of something that was said Thursday that I felt we needed to follow up on but then had to change my plans Thursday, Felt rather unqualified to be leading on that topic but I think I managed OK, Thank You Lord! A lot of the morning and early afternoon was taken up with sorting out some videos for Liz's work. Some of that did not go well. By that point it was obvious something else was going on with Jonathan on top of his severe cold. Off he and Liz went to the Doctor and the Doctor sent them off to the hospital. Looks like he has Asthema, not a huge surprise given it's prevalence in Liz's family. It'll need to be confirmed by Doctors but he's responded well to the inhaler he was given today. I was left home alone so took the chair out to the local Chinese takeaway and brought some soup & pancake rolls back for dinner. L & J eventually came home, via Burger King to ward off J's hunger, at about 9, both very tired.
Today: Oh please PLEASE be a quiet day. Zooming Mum, TMUK Zoom tonight, prep for tomorrow when I'm projecting for the first time in ages

It's Sunday - Praise the Lord
Yesterday: Better, quieter. Can't speak for the rest of the family but I didn't feel like I had anything in the tank. J responding well to inhaler.
Today: VERY Misty here this morning, very achy. Not fallen yet but my belt exploded when I tried to put it on. So not a good start.... Church this morning. Need to pack kitchen ahead of builders on Monday. Meant to be going out to a worship event tonight.
