    Morning all

    Greenbee - hope you manage to survive the day on so little sleep. Can you fit in a siesta at some point?

    It's going to be a nice day here again today. Must dig some summer stuff out of the wardrobe - I got rather warm in the office yesterday!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    I'm sure there are a couple of meetings I can sleep through ;):p

    It's lovely weather here too - looks like its going to be time for a wardrobe swap soon :D

    DW emptied, washing up done (including fridge door shelves and new kenwood bits and pieces). Just eating breakfast, will then dress and try to locate the electrical bits if there is time...

    I'm pleased to see you're not online now...

    I'm still working, but have an early call... so I should stop, but I'm kind of on a roll now so it's tempting to carry on!

    One paper completed, one presentation draft finished and sent to a colleague to inspect, and one review ongoing (although I'm not sure where review ends and writing it for them starts in this case...!)

    Suppose I could make a start on my next paper :eek:

    Well I've just drawn up a whole lot of processes, but as I have to be coherent in the morning I suppose I should head off and try to sleep! It might be easier to work through, but it is getting a little chilly now! Better go and make hot water bottles....

    oh... and my bed is covered in clothes that need putting away :(

    last on and first on!

    Two and half hours sleep is NOT enough... definitely not :o

    I'm going to empty the DW, get washed and dressed, and then see how I feel about breakfast. I have a client call at 8am, and the electrician is coming at 9am so I need to find the bits he needs to sort out the shed before he gets here... plus locate my brain.

    Looks like it'll be a lovely sunny day :D
    :eek:I got tired just reading that:eek:

  • Well.I feel a bit of a failure :(

    I got about halfway through my list for yesterday and just couldn't get any enthusiasm going to do any more. I really want to do this as my battle against the clutter is being lost and I'm feeling so fed up with the lack of organisation in my house.

    So I'm back for my Day 2.

    I see you've now gone back to bed :p:p:p

    Binky - don't get disheartened. Aim for Level 1 this week, and see anything from Level 2 as a bonus. The effect is cumulative - soon level one won't take so long to do, then level 2 will get easier and eventually a complete level 3 of a room (unless piggers put something particularly unpleasant on it...;)) won't take more than an hour.

    Having said that, I hardly have toom to work at my desk as it's seems to have got a little overcrowded :o:o. Still, it should take long to sort out :D
