I spent lots of yesterday reading my book - yay!!! It was my book group one, and as subject matters go, it wasn't as escapist as it could have been, focussing on a divorce process in the 1800s. I'm not going to dwell here, but it did have me realise that being a woman is much easier today than in Victorian times.
I then attempted my remortgaging but skidded to a halt over a question when I realised they would like an extra hundred quid out of me than originally stated. So I guess I've stopped out of protest but that's not going to do anything is it. I'll try and resume the process today. There are lots of children here and more to come. It's a good job I have lots of towels - I guess if you have a pool and half a dozen children staying for a couple of days, you are going to get through a lot of towels - especially when it's not exactly sunny, so the towels are not drying out between each dip!
My emails are getting a bit more frenzied. I've now been asked to get my employer to write another letter, as the last one they wrote started with "to whom it may concern" and they need it to say "FAO Halifax". I've explained that I won't be seeing my employer for a week as it's half term - they said to send the rest of the documentation now and then the letter when I've had it. I politely said that would involve me buying an extra stamp which I wasn't prepared to do, as that will be the fourth time I've had to post them papers. Petty, me??
