Simple living in the country - back to basics

More progress. Been to band practice, which was good, slightly alarming that there is only one left until our Christmas concert though. 

Wanged a sausage casserole in the hay box - three portions, so I'll eat one tomorrow and put the others in the freezer for later in the week. 

Set up 2 DDs on our new bank accounts ready for the next switch. One is showing already, and I've had an email saying the other is set up, but it's not showing in the online bank yet. Deadline for requesting a switch is Thursday, so hopefully it'll show before then. 

In the process, I discovered Mr Cheery had £25 odd sat in his paypal account - proceeds from last month's prolific. That's now been transferred out and I'll add it to the relevant budget pot. 

Back to work tomorrow. Feels like it's been all over the place lately. I had a whole week of events, one day inthe office, 2 days travelling/in London, then the next day I was ill in bed for several days. Because of the way it fell, I had 2.5 days off work, worked half a day as an interim catch up, then had 2 days off for our holiday. So I don't know whether I'm coming or going - and remembered a deadline that was last Friday on my way home tonight 🙄 Hey ho, hopefully I'll be able to get round that, it's only an internal one (and if I've missed it altogether it'll save me a job 😂).

Speaking of saving a job … when might you hear about the job you applied for?

Cheery my dear - it will all come out in the wash - most important is your health & wellbeing!

Don't know, not holding my breath 🙄 The docs said 'we will let everyone know within 2 weeks whether they have been successful or not' but that's standard wording for the entire organisation, and clearly rubbish, as it's now been just over 3 weeks and I've not heard anything 🙄

Not worrying yet though. I've recruited for similar (but less senior) roles and had over 100 applicants so that takes a bit of sifting, and I can imagine the messing around trying to agree potential interview dates 🙄 If we get to this Friday it'll be 4 weeks, and at that point I'll be emailing if I've not heard. 

So fingers still firmly crossed - but not holding my breath 🙄

You're right, of course! Very much looking forward to Christmas at this stage!

I think most people would think a major hangover on £72.55 (discounting the food) was quite the achievement give what alcohol costs these days

I was just thinking that! And I imagine you did partake in at least one or two beverages as well, Cheery, so not that bad at all 🤣.

I did indeed! One of them was a white Russian involving an entire carton of cream 🙈😱 😂 Friend bought a couple of rounds, and then matched Mr Cheery drink for drink in the rounds we bought, so it was even more impressive 😂

That makes me feel queasy 😂

Made me feel quite queasy too beanie 😱😂 I only had the one 😂😂
