Well what a rubbish week. Following on from K not feeling well last week, things just got worse. First of all, I started to feel rubbish too. by Friday I could hardly swallow so I went to the doctors and it turned out to be tonsillitis. Joy Joy Joy. My throat felt like sandpaper, I had a temperature, felt bloody awful and to top it all my voice sounded like a strangled ferret. It still isn't right now!
On a plus note, all of a sudden the tiny bit of swelling has gone on my eyelid and it looks almost normal, I can't thank my consultant enough. The thought that perhaps during the summer I will be able to wear my contacts again is brilliant!
That was not the worst thing though. Last week, Al was made redundant. No notice, nothing, the company has folded to there is no money for redundancy payments, we have had to fill in loads of forms to get it from the Government. Poor Al, he is all at sea, he has been there 21 years and this whole looking for a job thing is alien to him. We have applied for loads of places so all we can do is hope something comes up, so if anyone needs a loyal hard working fully qualified HGV driver please let us know!

Poor you and Al. I hope he manages to get his redundancy pay and find a new job. Must be very daunting for him. Good luck to you both.
