Must have been a Monday…

Gah, I swear I haven’t stopped all day.

I started my morning with a nice 9am appointment at the unemployment office to sign on
Of course, I’d been a bad procrastinating kind of llama and hadn’t done my paperwork yesterday. So I had to scrawl it all in like half an hour before I went.
Did I learn my lesson about procrastination? No, of course I didn’t!

Then I went down to the post office only to find that my normally empty quiet little post office had a queue out the freaking door. Luckily, it was a fast moving queue and I was done in like 10 minutes.

Headed home, poked at ebay, bid on a couple artworks – one of a kitten asleep in a guitar, one of a tiger and one of a fairy – then got a load more stuff listed, plus took photos of even more bits and bobs to put up.

After lunch, my plan was to just fill out the paperwork, then have a nice relaxing afternoon curled up with a book or a movie.
Naturally, it wasn’t to be!
Turned out I had to fill out something like 6 different forms, sign my life in blood and they wanted proof of address for the last three years. Cue rifling through boxes of unsorted paperwork, but emerging victorious.

THEN they wanted a copy of my birth certificate, my FULL birth certificate. Yeah, that one was a problme because I don’t have a full birth certificate. I was registered at the hospital, not the registry office. Rush out to Wellington to the registry office, only to find out that they can’t issue me one because I wasn’t born in Telford & Wrekin, I was born in Devon & Exeter.
I’ve got the form, sent off for a birth certificate.

And sent my paperwork with the mini certificate, with a note explaining that I’ve applied for the full one and, if they require it, I can forward the full one when I receive it.

Tomorrow, I am GOING to have a relaxing day. All that’s on the agenda is to drive my mum to the hospital to the audiology clinic, where hopefully she will get a hearing aid!

What is your morning beverage of choice?
If I had my way, I’d have a nice cold cherry coke or Diet peps – i don’t drink tea or coffee so its pretty much my main source of sugar/caffeine.
Course, that’s not exactly very healthy so I generally have either a glass of orange juice or a glass of milk
