And even better I thought we'd only be going away in April for an over-nighter - he's now said there is no point going away for just one night

So, according to my logic that's one dinner at the Novo Coimbra, one dinner at the chicken shack in Ourique and then one dinner in the Capri when we come back

It's a nightmare trying to cook, when you can't hear, smell or taste anything

Getting annoyed. Tom was paid cash for his paper round at first but they've apparently arranged for him to be paid into our bank account because of him being over 16 and liable for tax and the first payment should've gone in at the end of January but it hasn't. Every week he asks and is told that the area manager is supposedly looking into what's happened but still, no money.

Think I would want the area manager's number!! How ridiculous, they are only kids why can't they just give him cash? xxx

Right, called the newsagents and that's sorted. He's got to work a month in hand once he's officially on the books. It's because he's liable for paying tax. On a flippin' paper round. I suspect that if it had been a small independent newsagents they might have just paid cash in hand but it's a McColls so they probably want to do things by the book.

Called the boiler man to see why he's not here yet and his house phone just goes to answer and there's no mobile listed
