3rd March – the food was quite good.

Hiya all, as anticipated this post is a day late… for which I blame our eldest niece 😄

Had to rejig the day somewhat as I was supposed to be popping in to mums. Luckily after speaking to mum on Monday she was happy for me to pop in Wednesday instead of Tuesday, meaning if I got to work from home in the afternoon, I would be home to greet Carly.

I did work from home in the afternoon, and before actually coming home I nipped into doc’s for new sample pots.

Carly stayed for a couple of hours after dinner… always lovely catching up with her without her young siblings demanding her or our attention!

Need to arrange a good catch up with Amy and Katie too.

After Carly left Paul and I needed to have a serious conversation. He and all his work colleagues have been asked to volunteer to drop to four days a week and take a 20% pay cut.

Paul works for an exhibition company, and with all the show cancellations going on now (cheers Covid-19) the company predicts major issues.

To be honest, the company Paul works for is great, the owner of the business is very generous (wonderful family event days), and thinks about families, so much so that when my step dad was taken into hospital, and Paul was in Europe, the company got him home to me quickly.

So, shitty situation, but I feel this is fair under the circumstances, if enough people can volunteer, it will hold off redundancies.

This still might not save the company, a few months will show one way or other, but this will hopefully give the company a chance.

On a personal note, the drop in Paul’s wage is going to be hard, but we’ll get through it. I fully support Paul in this, it’s a way to give back to the company, and providing the company survives, Paul gets to continue working with people and for people he likes.

So, now on to my day.

Sleep – meh

Exercise – no

Fluid – 200ml of milk, 2 glasses of water, 3 cups of tea

Naughties – 3 chocs, 1 slice of bread and butter – and I wonder why I don’t lose weight!

Food – 40g natural nuts, 60g dried fruit, 1 cheese portion, prawn salad.

Dinner – spaghetti bolognese with focaccia and lactose free cheese.

So that’s Tuesday.
