I'm liking this one as well

Richard, a fresher, at USC [University of Southern California] 'phoned his Mother one evening from his college room and asked her for some money because he was flat broke.
His Mother sighed, 'OK, Richard. I will send you some money. Then she added, 'Oh by the way, you also left your economics book here when you visited two weeks ago. Do you want me to send that up too?'
'Ummm, oh yeah, you better, yes, OK,' Richard replied vaguely.
So his Mum wrapped the book along with the cheques in a package, kissed Dad goodbye, and went to the post office to mail the money and the book. When she returned, Dad inquired, 'Well how much did you give the boy this time?'
'Oh, I wrote two cheques, one for $20, and the other for $1,000 out to him.'
'That's $1020!' yelled Dad, 'Are you mad, have you gone totally bonkers?'
'Don't worry darling,' Richard's Mother answered with a wide grin, 'I taped the $20 cheque to the cover of his book, but I put the $1,000 one somewhere between the pages in chapter 19!'

I don't want to go to work either, only in for five hours but three interviews to do, one return to work and a tricky mediation.

Uniforms ironed, and PE kits sorted.

Plum sorbet is very nice as is the plum chutney. Plum onna stick anyone?

sorry, Terry Pratchett reference - rat, rat with ketchup, rat onna stick.........

I picked a huge basket of plums yesterday - so cake, jam, chutney, crumble, stewed, sorbet, onna stick. Lots of blanching and freezing of courgettes, runner beans and french beans too. Virtuous but oh so boring.

Plenty more plums yet so will try Dustys oatmeal loaf later this week.
