Baby and I have been working our butts off recently at work... me to cover a colleague's who's been on holiday for three weeks - who incidentally missed his flight back and will be delayed by another two days, making him entirely useless at work this week - and baby who's covering the whole account as usual, no thanks to another useless colleague.
Spa vouchers seem to be aplenty these days - we have vouchers expiring in May and Jun and no time to go! Just went to a facial yesterday for the first time - my face was scrubbed raw while baby's face was given a cursory scrub. It seems my face had three times the amount of dead skin than baby's, judging from the pile they collected onto a cotton pad. Anyway the therapist scrubbed my face til it felt so raw and red, and the spa salesgirl could tell us we should go back in 10 days' time to get another scrub. Not in a month at least I should think. So much for spa relief. Next, some lymph drainage thing in Jun...
Tax is evil... and this year there's some unidentified tax relief given, which lowered my tax payable just very slightly, but still it was a greater relief than the spa, so I should be thankful. Baby's tax is so low! Not because I earn more, but because there were somehow so many deductibles there was nothing left to tax. So unfair.
Baby's in the midst of some discussion at work still. Got a bit of time to relax now after I finished one big piece of work just now. Shall go buy dinner back for us and claim taxi fare...
