Jun. 15th, 2022 01:35 pmIt was Kayleigh and Lucy's first wedding anniversary yesterday. Which means it was also the anniversary of the first time I had to give a speech, which remains one of the most terrifying things I've ever done.
Murphy's insurance gave us a shock this week when they sent an email saying they weren't going to pay his claim as it was a double claim, which was a wait, what?! moment. Especially as the bill was nearly £700. I got in contact with the vet asap and they think because employees of PetPlan are still home-based they'd somehow messed up, one person paying the claim, meaning someone else tried only to find out it had already been claimed, leading to that email and that shock.
Murphy also caught a mouse a few days ago, so way to go him. He's been very intent on watching behind the fridge for a while so it wasn't a surprise when I came downstairs one morning and saw a dead mouse, thankfully, fully intact. Of course, Milo could have done the deed but I suspect it was Murphy.
It's been a sad day on the survey side of things. My main earner only lasts a year and I got the email earlier my last day will be the end of the month. Then I was let go from the posting panel. A few weeks back while I was waiting for the hospice bus the postman walked past and came up to me and asked if the letter he was delivering was a test item. I denied it as the whole thing is supposed to be a secret but he walked away muttering about the testing people thinking they were stupid. Anyway, I got a message saying Royal Mail were aware I was a panellist and therefore I was off the panel as it needed to be secret. Silver lining I suppose, this happened at the end of this stint and I may not have been picked next time anyway. Plus, I got to cash in my reward points and now have some supermarket vouchers to spend.
James is now testing negative, which is great, but as he was positive at the first check-in can't go back to work until Friday, which is a day off anyway so a few more lie-ins. Saying that, we both woke early this morning and decided to go to the beach for an early morning walk, and got there just after 6am. As expected it was pretty much deserted, but still so pretty in the early morning sunshine. But this time I'd learned my lesson and had taken my own coffee considering none of the shops were open that early.
