Well, busy day for Toots. Away at work all day. The good news is, my current boss has offered me a job. Well, TBH he has been trying to 'reel me in' for a few months now, but I haven't felt able to commit. Anyway, he's offered me a 3 day post for a year, today. Two days working in the office (1.5 hours away) and a day WFH. I can see how far I've come as I drove home quite excited and think I'll say yes.
Went straight to parents to Mum-sit, only to find my Dad just wired £2k to a 'friend in trouble abroad.' As soon as I read the emails I knew it was a scam - arghh! Just spent a couple of hours on the phone to the police and money transfer people. Managed to stop the transfer before the money was collected, but my Dad lost the £75 transfer fee. He thinks I'm the hero of the hour now though!
Home again, bowl of soup and a glass of wine after a long day - catching up with my DB buddies. You know people ask who you would like to have to dinner, and I would always say the Dalai Lama, Maya Angelou and so on. Now, I would just say - my DB friends...
