More developments at work 🙄 it turns out there was a different survey for contracted staff which had to be done by Friday at 5pm I managed to get mine done on Friday morning. The same person who upset me last week did it with me and she has put me through for upgrading with training support because there were a couple of things on there I don't do and you had to have 100%. My two missing skills are wound dressings which I never do and Naso gastric feeds which I assist with but could do if I'm on the ward. The wound dressing one isn't so important but handy to have and the NG feed is a must have so I will be trained to do those.
Yesterday I went to DD2s flat with DD1 because she hadn't seen it yet. We went to the pub up the road for lunch which was really nice because we don't get together very often. My daughters have a difficult love hate relationship that I hoped would get better when they weren't living together but they still rub each other up the wrong way even now but yesterday they were fine and got on really well which was nice to see 😊
I came home and did some more bits in the garden. I need to get my garden chairs out of the loft today so I can sit outside now we have some sun.
Ive got my washing out on the line and have sorted the house so I'm just having a coffee before going up to do some more of my bedroom.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1205 -
That sounds like a lovely day. I'm glad you've been put up. That'll help a little with the money and is better in your pocket than in there's.
