Awake and up all night

But you got there in the end  

I'm almost too nervous to accept my trophy  in case the hamsters come and take it off me!

Thank you kindly ma'am xxx

Oh dear you must have a huge wardrobe or cloakroom to handle the many, many hats you wear! Here have  and

Cheers

So I am curious now, what sort of jobs has OH had?

Cheers

Whoop! Whoop! It's like being at the Oscars.

Firstly, could I give my thanks to...er...erm. oh never mind.

Ta Shimmers, that'll do xxx

 RayMK I know you were still around, you nodded off?

Cheers

And this evening's slice of Red Velvet is awarded to Gill H for the acceptance speech demonstrating brevity and relevance with aplomb

Data input, that's why he could WFH when all the covid stuff kicked off. It wasn't well paid but we scraped by.

We're ok now and I won him a PIP award at the first attempt although it took a few days to collate all the necessary paperwork etc. I wrote a draft first and then filled out the booklet in my best hand. It probably resembled a chimp's scrawl towards the last few pages.

Have you done one for Stressy or Scoots hon? I imagine that's the sort of thing you'd do for them xxx

Go you! Scoots is too old, already a pensioner so no pip. He has recently applied for Attendance Allowance.

This was before his cancer was even a possibility and I was rather cross. Given the needs it's supposed to cover, I reckoned he didn't need it.

At best he wanted someone to do his dusting but I reckoned he needed to move more not less and really he just wanted more money to bank ... to have to bequeath!

Anyway he ditched applying but once having surgical procedures Stressy fished out the form and stumbled across Macmillan in hospital and their advisor submitted it.

If he gets it, Stressy has warned him if hoards it rather than spends it, he is 'grassing him up!'

Cheers

Still around but not qualified to take part in the subject matter i.e. how to snare and neutralise a difficult MiL. No experience either. My only MiL was an absolute dear.
