No blog post today because I am currently doing an impression of Nick Frost.

Unfortunately I can't take time off work because otherwise I run the risk of being disciplined (it being too close to my time off work for heart palpitations).

I have a friend who is training to be a doctor. She is a lovely person who works (at last count) something like three different jobs to support herself in addition to doing voluntary work.

I'm not sure when she gets to sleep.

Anyway, the medical school are threatening to throw her off the course if she can't come up with some money sharpish - so she's taken to begging on her blog.

If you could see yourself able to donate a quid or two I'd consider it a personal favour.

She will make a wonderful doctor, and to be thrown out because of a lack of money seems entirely unfair to me.
