Radio silence on the blog sometimes means that there’s not-tremendously-positive stuff happening and I really don’t want to depress people. Money is a little tight at the moment, plus there’s been a few other problems which have given life a certain negative twist for the past week (the very least of which was our Washing Machine starting to seriously malfunction). Therefore, the very last thing we needed was for Waterstones to write to George and say that, despite having declined to give her a final paycheque, that they’ve actually overpaid her by £610 and they want her to return the money. (This is apparently following on from an initial letter in February which never arrived).

I’m trying to tell myself that things are going to bounce back, but it’s rather difficult at the moment.
