Em, congratulations on your excellent performance and commensurate rewards! Are bonuses/rises all very hush-hush where you are? This is one of the ways in which firms keep unfair differentials going! Enjoy the lovely weekend and your sister's wedding.
In the middle of horrible, filthy power-hosing job. God, it never gets any better. Sun is out again, so no excuse.
Unexpected spends (picked up by DH): DS is home from university and has been suffering some weird dermatitis all term. GP treated him, twice, for mites/scabies, no change. He was given some different cream on prescription and had just started that, when yesterday he came out in quite distinct blisters on his hands and feet. Dr Google suggests dyshidrotic eczema. Anyway, one of these blisters on the sole of his foot is large, painful and surrounded by an area of hot pulsing red infection. That boy needs antibiotics, and fast. Can't get registered here at his old GP, can't make contact with his GP in Leeds. So we've paid for a private GP consultation, £100 including any notes or meds.
DH still pondering the fancy and exciting job offer. I'm trying to maintain a respectful distance from the pondering process, but couldn't help remarking that a job which brought private medical insurance for him and Fam might come in handy in these circumstances..
Catering spends mounting, and will hit a peak at the butcher and vintners tomorrow. I feel myself moving towards a 'sod it' moment.
