Phoned the doctor first thing this morning to get some antibiotics to sort my throat and head out (I think it’s a throat infection), but he wouldn’t even see me despite having surgery in 9 days! All he said was to take Paracetamol and gargle salt water. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you possibly the worlds worst and most useless Doctor Surgery!
As soon as my leg is sorted I am changing doctors, I don’t care if it means I will have to change again after a couple of weeks when I move back to Taunton area, I want someone who knows what they are doing and talking about! Morons!
Oh well, my day soon picked up when the post arrived… I was doing the washing up and tidying the kitchen when I spotted the postman, so I hobbled out to the front door and collected a mountain of junk mail and a handwritten envelope addressed to myself. The only person I could think that it would be from was a lady from my church back in Taunton who I always called my “church Gran”, she is a lovely lady in her late 60s, early 70s and has always looked out for me. She is one of the few who keeps in touch with me since leaving! Which reminds me I haven’t written to her for ages.
Anyway, I didn’t think much of it so I left the envelope on the side until I had finished cleaning up. When I started to open the letter up, I could feel the thickness of the paper and soon guessed it was a cheque, but why on earth would Church Gran be sending me a cheque?! I ripped open the envelope to reveal a cheque for £10 from a company. It took me a minute or 2 to remember that I had signed up for something online where you give them your address and they use it for junk mail, but they actually pay you for it! I had completely forgotten about it as this was quite a few months ago and I never actually thought they would pay me for it! Woo hoo! Free money for doing nothing!!!
Later in the afternoon, I was downstairs again making myself a bacon sandwich when I heard the sliding door open. I went out to greet a lady from a courier company brandishing a large heavy package… My accounting course! Yay! I can finally start my degree! I ripped open the couriers packaging and there it was, I was carrying my future in a navy blue laptop bag, and boy was it heavy!
I couldn’t believe it, 7 books to work through, I remember the tutor saying he thought it would take me 3 months to work through because of being off work, but after seeing all of this, there is no way I am doing it in 3 months! I have set myself a target of completing this level in a year and completing all three levels of the degree within 3 years, one year per level. I think that’s achievable, right?!
