    Hi

    I'll have some of whatever you've got thats giving you the energy. You seem to get so much done.

    Wish I could pretend well enough for mystery shops, but I get sidetracked by what I want, not what I'm meant to be doing.

    Thank you! Well, thing is, I don't have that much paid work! I can *just* get by, if I'm very, very careful and don't *do* anything, so I have lots of time to sort things and click things, and generally bad as much free money as I can :D

    I wish I could pretend properly for mystery shops too - today, the phone call I did was to a financial company, and just like a real customer, I took a wrong turn on the options you have to press on your phone - and I was so flustered I ended up forgetting the name of the staff member, if they even gave it to me - no recollection whatsoever :o and as usual, I'm thinking to myself, well, if I get paid, it'll be a miracle. We'll see.

    Oh, gilligansyle - you're about to have a pm :)

    I really don't fancy mystery shops, I would be sooooooo obvious lol.

    Nearly finished folders 1 and 2, not sure how to get round signatures that are needed over an hour away and no time to get there (did have appoint for tomorrow but they cancelled due to exams). Folders 3 and 4 are big, folder 5 is small and that is the student they will observe me with :eek: I've picked my obs for a small family firm with confident friendly student - I get to choose so I'm cheating, the others are nightmares!

    Any idea on a moving date yet?

    Yay to "cheating" :) and :eek: to the very idea of a moving date - actually, I have two sets of paperwork from the conveyancer to look through, and he's asked me to think about when I want to move :eek::eek:

    That was exactly how it was! If they moan at me, I'll direct them to this page of my diary :)

    Phew ... it was busy yesterday. Today, plans are a bit easier, and I don't have to work so late - which means I'll be able to cook (cooking smells while sessions are on are a bit of a no-no - another good thing about the new house, where the kitchen is well away from the stairs to the therapy room :D

    So, the list today:
    - go through paperwork from conveyancer.
    - check my finances.
    - information that I'm moving has to go to a few people I'm not currently seeing.
    - couple of loads of washing to go on.
    - my business partner is coming along for our meeting today, and I'm sending him up into the loft to collect the furniture I've been storing for him. What he doesn't know is that he's also going to be collecting the stuff *I've* got stored up there too :D

    Yep, hi DT and Taxi - it is going well, though I'm really not sure how my income will survive in moving to the new place.
    Hello Karma, happy new week! Sounds like the sales are going well, it's always exciting when something sells!

    I missed this one yesterday, sorry Squizz!

    It is exciting when they sell - tho its been really frustrating this morning - a buyer wanted a reduction in P&P cos he'd bought two, fair enough - but could I reinvoice? I could not! No wonder they give you a chance to preview the invoice before you send it, stupidly I didn't use it the first time, and sent an increased invoice, not a reduced one. All sorted now, but it was a little bit hairy :rotfl:
