Conversation in the unit this morning led to my lamenting that I'm £180 overdrawn. Sarah #1 said why didn't I take on a regular third shift as they were advertising for people to increase their hours. I wondered whether that would be possible with my mayoral duties. Angela asked whether I didn't get a Consort's Allowance from the Council, since the role is stopping me earning more at work; she felt that would be fair. I had to smile as I replied that I thought a Consort's Allowance was a splendid idea but I didn't think the Council would!

I'm A Celebrity 6 was the talk of the office this morning. Carolyn engaged me in a long conversation about it by the nibbles table when we happened to go to the front desk at the same time. She's a big Jason Donovan fan. I told her Myleene is my favourite and she chuckled "I can understand that!" She added "Did you see her taking a shower?" Carol intervened and told us to tell her what we'd come to see her for then get back on the phones...

Later on, during my coffee break, I began to give serious thought to the idea of going to three shifts a week. I do need the dosh, and on reflection it occurred to me that my mother and I don't have very many functions on Friday daytimes, and what ones we do have, she could easily do alone. So I came back early from break, approached Sarah #1 and asked her who to see about taking on a third shift every Friday. She sent me over to Lorna, who said she wasn't sure if there were any more vacancies now but to e-mail her and copy it to Mary, and she'd let me know soon.

Great rendition of the Wilhelmus by the local singer before the Netherlands' friendly with England tonight - and nice to hear the commentator say "it's always very special to hear". The Dutch dominated the game with some nice passing football but were unable to get the ball in the net - and then late in the first half England scored. The Oranje kept the pressure on and, oh joy, Rafael van der Vaart salvaged a draw with a beautifully taken strike just minutes from time. Totally deserved.
