It's been an eventful week off. Saturday I had several hours studying with Mel, going over tma03. Worth it, as i had made some very silly mistakes. I then drove to leicester and spent some time with grandma and grandpa and then drove to Rutland to see the Baebes. They were on top form, singing songs from all of their albums, plus some new ones.

It made for a very late day though, i didn't arrive home until midnight!

I have been to the gym (a lot), went to the chiropodist at Boots who said that no, my ingrowing toenails will never get better. This is in stark contrast to my mum's chiropodist who has never said that. The one at Boots said that I should think about getting my toenails operated on, as in the long run it will definately be cheaper, and will mean that i never have to have sore toes again! It is a lot of money (240 quid), but what she said made sense. I have lived with ingrowing toenails for years, and they aren't going to go away. I will prevent my nailbeds from ever getting infected again, surely a good thing. She even said i could try and ask my doctor and see if i could get it done on the NHS for free. I like this straight, truth talking.

Being off work is very dangerous. I now have a QVC membership card! I want to link to my purchase, but it doesn't seem to be on there anymore. I bought a TSV - a hammock! It's much larger than the one i have, and can easily take my weight (ps this is my treat for losing 0.5 stone!) and as it's made of material, rather than string, will be much more comfortable.

It's a pity that the weather is so bad. I am very busy for the rest of July, so I am hoping that August is lovely!
