I tidied up the hall stand a few weeks ago and was doing its maintenance tidy today when the torn £10 note that has taken up residence there reared its head again. Anyway I downloaded the appropriate form and completed it and put it into the post. Hopefully £10 will arrive in my bank account in due course and the halls and is positively glowing with its tidiness.5

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).3

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.3 -
