I'm going to walk over to Lidl later and grab some shopping before coming home via Subway I think. (Or I might just get a nice roll and some sandwich filler in Lidl...)
OH's work have been making noises about him moving to America for a few years, which I don't particularly want to do but they are very insistent and I'd rather go with him than not. In the off chance that they turn from polite enquiry to demanding he goes, I've been looking at what it would take to do the job I do here in America. Difficult to explain without giving away my rather unique job title but I'll try. It's a mixed bag of good and bad news on that front really - On the good side, I would be able to transfer my degree and professional registration over because I did a MSc rather than a BSc (all Americans doing my job have to have a MSc for some reason). The bad side is there's a 120 multiple choice question exam on the ENTIRE field of my profession, which in the UK we don't do (you do generic training then specialise when you've got some years under your belt - but even when you're working generically when you qualify, you would not do certain areas for instance paeds and mental health if you worked in an adult hospital). I've just done a practice test and one of the questions was "The director of a neighbouring [REDACTED] service has visited a local practitioner and noticed they are typing their notes on a Personal Electronic Tablet, which is speeding up time of service delivery and allowing the practitioner to see twice as many patients. What should the director do?". There's also a question about "A mother of a 15 year old in a paediatric unit has told you she suspects her son may be interested in girls sexually, what should you say to her?" Like, what the actual duck? I don't think they'd enjoy my straight talking style across the pond.
Apparently the correct answer to those is to ban the use of personal electronic tablets (I'm guessing because of their GDPR style laws) and tell the mother that "It is natural for adolescent males to exhibit interest the opposite sex" (not, your kid is 15 mate, what do you expect). Makes sense.
The other issue is that my specialism isn't recognised in America very well, for various reasons... it's recognised as a medical field, but not in my professional field largely because of their culture around insurance and "thou shalt not die" (I work in palliative care).

Dropped little one to school and I don’t start my new job til Monday so I’ve had a mooch round next clearance and got a bunch of autumn winter stuff for bargain prices - £3 for adult jumpers! Went to B&M and got some house bits and some maoam chews. Now in Costa having a peaceful flat white before heading home to clear up the house.

So tired today - slept through my alarm again and I'm going to have to set up several alarms with different ring-tones - I must have become accustomed to the current one.

How is everyone doing this afternoon?
I'm counting down the minutes until I finish (4:30) - I accidentally leaned over a windowsill where a housemate had put a new automatic spray air-freshner... and it sprayed a whole mouthful of artifical pot pourri right at me.
It took over an hour to stop smelling it and my head feels like it's going to implode... 0/10, would not recommend. Those things are vile at the best of times.

Idly looking at new careers. I don't think I'd leave my job atm but it's not a terrible idea to keep an eye on the world outside the NHS I guess...
I’m early to school pick up and sat in car waiting a few streets away and I’m dressed for the wrong weather again. I’ve a dress tights and my docs on as it was grey and cold this morning but it’s blue skies and hot now. Im a sweaty mess 
Oh hello everyone. I've just seen the sub forum and this thread now! Can I join in? Is it general chit chat?
I've had one of those days. Got up. Was thinking right kids to school then I'm going to work. Full house clean, laundry catch up blah blah.
The reality.... For every 10mins of 'work' I've rewarded myself an hour of down time. So the Mr has gone to collect the kids I've had a shower and got into a onesie and I'm declaring today over
In other news my husband has done loads
