    Called the hospital... after half an hour on hold to try to get hold of the consultant's secretary (I think she must have been at lunch) I was diverted to voicemail. Called back later and the phone was answered instantly, but the secretary I needed had gone home. Must call earlier tomorrow (I did leave a voicemail, but I'll try to speak to her... and if I don't get through tomorrow I'll send an email).

    I had my 19th class of the year today. I'm not going to the class tomorrow as we are having the flooring man here very early in the morning.

    I know I have a long to-list for tomorrow so I will report back on how I got on. :)

    Finally got all the mandates and updates done on the PC account! It might finally mean that our new clerk can access the account! 🙄

    I set up a Barclays account (while I was in a boring meeting) to try and get the switch money.
    I also stayed with a friend I haven't seen since winter and had a good catch up. Outstanding Awesome Task?

    I've been clearing and tidying again, various carpets washed and a lot of progress on his old craft room which now has a clear floor.
