I wonder if your payslips have been sent to Trevor and myself. My concern over them is keeping me up all night. Please confirm that you have sent them.
Missing you as always. I have now fully read your text which I hadn't done when I called you. Thank you so much it means a lot to me. I have forwarded it to mummy and taken out the bit to me.
Have you sent me the payslips?
It has been a busy day. Carol came to see me this morning and she is well and happy with her friend. I am pleased about that.
Just a small reminder about the payslips. They should be sent to me and Trevor.
Will mummy make the kidney beans and rice when I come to see you? That would be nice. Keep noting the recipes so that you can make them for me when you return. Was mummy surprised that you could make roti? I will have to go shopping at some point as my personal chef has bogged off on a jolly.
I hope you haven't forgotten the payslips.
I told Brian that I had sent you off because you had been naughty one to many times. I don't know if he is aware of the situation but I think he knew it was a joke.
I was really touched by the text from your friend. I have sent him one back saying thank you. I wonder if he knows anything about the payslips.
I am popping downstairs for a spot of food. Cheese and tomato on toast if I can scrape off the mould and rescue it from next door's dog.
Love you honey.
