Moving on

Good luck with the application. Hopefully since you have a long list of relevant courses that will stand you in better stead than someone with level 2 maths but not as many courses. And, as you say, you got the job last time without it. 🤞🏼

Thanks @Sun_Addict, I looked at my application and thought 'They will want me for exactly the post I've now turned down twice'. All my skills match me with it and they need staff, but I need to put it behind me.

Activity today seemed to have been a lot of messages to try to sort out various things and I've made some progress. It's mostly to do with the children's work.

DH cooked us liver and bacon for lunch: I'm sure my iron levels must be edging higher by now, what with that and taking liquid iron, though I'm taking it in smaller doses than recommended.

In the afternoon we went out for a coffee (one free one on my app and one paid for by gift card) then called at The W0rks for a puzzle book as part of my niece's late, late Christmas present. I got both her and me some colourful biros, too.

I called in to see my friend who had the operation, gave her a card and stopped for a short chat. Good to hear she's actually been able to walk about a bit. I ended up being a bit late for work, which my boss was very nice about but I felt bad.

Part of the admin turned up an email that I'd not spotted last week. It was from the man who bought my parents' old house as some post had come for her which he'd opened in error. He scanned it and sent it on - it's a very small share holding that came from my Dad's work, so I need to get that transferred to my name. I knew about it years ago but never got round to doing anything and my sister told me she didn't want a share in the shares, so it's only going to me. I remember the first time my Dad got a latter about the dividend and burst out laughing: it had earned him 6p in a year.

It was nice to know that the family who now own the house are still there. He mentioned they are planning to rebuild the drive and garage so I emailed back with some stories about them.

So, nothing actually spent on the coffees, £3 spent on stationery for me and £6 on gifts for my niece.
