Things we take for granted!
Not calling to cancel appointments, taking drugs prescribed for someone else etc.. God help us!

At my first appointment, Nurse tried to hide her surprise that I've not done cervical smear at my age when she was taking down my medical history. this day's appointment was for that.. FREE on the NHS .. (I remember one day in church when it was announced that a female doctor from the US or so was in town and she was going to do Smear for women of certain age bracket free for the first 2 days. Next day, we all trooped there, omo see crowd, long story short I no do am

Home's neighborhood

I've worked in 4 different homes so far over the past 2 weeks and I've been fortunate to work with lovely and down to earth white ladies who took their time to teach/show me the way..

First home.. lovely and serene environment, professional work ethic

Lady in purple made a novice experience easy.. she asked me to go on 15mins break (the shift was long day ie 8am-8pm, you are entitled to 3 breaks- 15mins, 30mins, 15mins), I thought she said 50mins ( sometimes I don't hear what they say, I'll just smile and nod my head ).. so, there I was relaxing at the staff room chatting with a friend online when she came and told me my break was over 40mins ago . I told her you said 50mins break, she replied No, 15mins(stressing the 1 5).. na dey I know say I don goof, these people go know say I be proper ta ta!

@Abini2012 reading all through your diary is nostalgic for me. Once lived on Boswell street some years back. Remember when I just got into Coventry and missed my way from ASDA to the house saw this three teenage boys acting funny while trying to ask for direction.
Also went for a training in Knotford and getting back to Coventry train station late at between 10 or even past 11 pm can't remember fully now, called black cab which was my only option then this Indian driver attempted to gba mi. He charged me £15, was furious and I asked what is meter reading his answer was infuriating, he uttered with his funny accent, "meter just got bad". Just handed him £10 and slammed the door.

Hope there is still Cosmo close to city center nice Asian restaurant look out for it , sure you will testify. Saw your picture of Peacock "pigeon" ( that's cracking) not a bad store , with student ID they do 20% discount- though that I experienced at Portsmouth and guess It should be same across board. So your hubby can go shop there with his student ID for 20% less.

Enjoying your stories and pictures, I come here looking forward to it almost on daily basis.

Thanks for bringing back memories for me.

Wooow! Thanks so much for the lovely feedback. Thanks for the Peacock info. I've been eyeing one jacket like that, praying for sales .. I'll check out Cosmo, don't think I've noticed it

Thanks!
