    ummm, steamed pony power - what is it with them , always when you have the least amount of time to get them back to normal and then they are always starving and want the food NOW.

    Go you with the admin, I am saving mine all up for a mass pre Christmas clear up - I have to attack the ironing mountain first to get to it (cunning plan huh?).

    Music on and you will whiz through it in no time and Captain and you can then enjoy some quality time together, o r you can snuggle up and try to steal some of Colin's throw ......

    ....but dear wiccan is knitting at work!! Very impressed, let's just hope she's not a pilot or fitness instructor or a trapeze artist....

    I blame SF, I haven't started the admin yet as I decided her idea was fantastic about admin to music. Then I wondered if I moved the music system in the kitchen round a bit whether I could hear it in the study....

    Cue moving the music system, cleaning behind where it was [yuk!] moving the CDs, cleaning behind those too. Moving the tea, coffee and sugar canisters because that's where I decided the music should be, more cleaning.

    Didn't work, couldn't hear it any better, so have moved it all back and just turned the thing up :T

    Ready to start on admin now:D

    I've been contacted by an agency about a job that is everywhere on the job sites. They want to put me forward as a candidate :T I've said yes, but want to tweak my cv for the job first. That's what I'm going to do next. Provided, of course, that Colin stops trying to sit on the laptop - sigh....

    Aren't you supposed to be resting madam? You shouldn't feel ashamed about doing the admin. I should! I leave it until it's dangerously overdue :o

    Me too! Some goes in the recycling and some in the compost. Shredded paper makes excellent compost!
