Ooh, in better news, I have my NHS Responders thingy approved and am ready to go. Before anyone thinks i've gone soft or am actually a decent human specimen, don't. There are all sorts of selfish reasons a person may want to do this, and i'm using all of them.

Clearly they will let anyone in.

Took me all of 10 seconds to work out what one of these may be and I know you are not doing it just for the free PPE.

That and getting out of the house maybe?

Was always more than happy to help over any holiday period, as long as they were happy with my bank holiday rate, which was usually double.

CBA to charge more for BH as to me it's just another day.

However, at least you are working currently, so good for you

Just a different opinion!

I don't see next Friday as being of a different value to today. The way I see it, I would lose more money by not working it vs a normal Friday off as the cost of everything around bank holidays is more expensive.

New Work Chair purchased...erm

Doesn't tilt (as advertised). The back reclines - not the same
Seat doesn't go low enough for my short legs to touch the ground
Armrests do not go high enough

Thanks to Amazon's returns policy, it will be going back - I will continue to use one of umpteen dining room chairs.

Normally I would argue the point but as next Friday and Monday are going to no different from the previous Monday or the following Tuesday you may as well take the cash and treat them as normal days.

Next Thursday I should be heading to Milan for a week - hey ho...

Just hit ebay and purchase one of the many aeron chairs you can find on there. Mines going fine after 10+ years of usage

One of the lovely pies the MIL bought over, in the sealed boot, for tea today.
She bought us fruit ones before from the same place and they were very nice.

We have to catch up on video conference to cheer her up on occasion, although retired she is a very busy woman on all sorts of committees and some such.

The FIL is a different beast and has his own room where he spends the day, with jazz playing and viewing a number of different media on several silent screens at the same time.
Most of the family, apart from me and the MILs brother, when back over from Jamaica, aren't really allowed in the room.

I have to say I am missing those afternoon drinking sessions with him

I wonder why only men are allowed in there...
