    It's more of a want than a need, if I'm honest.

    No eggs :rolleyes:

    Morning all, I hope the cake cravings have all passed now!!

    Well, I had an ok sort of weekend - felt pretty low really but all due to absolute tiredness rather than anything bad happening.

    So, have got up this morning, coffee doing it's miracle worker job and I will be positive and productive this week. Oh yes I will!

    I have found that every day recently I have been able to make long lists of things that need doing - house, business and DFW, and yet I get to the end of the day and strangely, despite being busy all day, none of the stuff has been done :confused:

    So, time for that proverbial kick up the backside, focus is now needed big time.

    The children are skiing all week, but I need to take them and pick them up each day, so no real difference to a school week. They ski at Norfolk Ski Club, in Trowse, Pania - google it and you will see we have a FANTASTIC facility. Hills - pah, who needs them.....:D

    So, onwards and upwards. Another coffee needed, kids to get organised and by about 10.30 I will be ready to kick a$$!!!

    Go kick a$$ then!

    I have left DH to entertain DD this week, whilst he is trying to work at the same time - that therefore means multi tasking :rotfl: I am safely at work and oblivious to the chaos at my house :j

    Cake was delicious by the way :o

    Energy!! Can't remember what that is, I'm afraid!!!

    That is just the problem really - I have so many things that I need to be done, give a really good impression of doing them and many others too, but somehow, sadly, seem not to actually get to grips with any of them!

    So, at the end of last week I vowed not to stress about money, life etc but just to let things chill for a few days with the full intention, and with the hope that I can get a move on this week.

    Things are going well so far, I have come out of the house and into my "workspace" (I have a cabin at the end of the garden), have got a cup of coffee permanently by my side, and have a pile of papers which need working through.

    I have got until 2.30 when I next need to be working (as in earning!) so that gives me a good three hours, plus eating time to get something done.

    I will be coming back on DFW in between, but hope to have at least tackled some of the old chestnuts at the same time.

    Off to dive into a sea of papers................xx

    No, need the laptop to write letters of complaint, dealing with crappy companies like talk talk and insurance companies etc etc etc.

    But since last post have done two said letters - two things off the list :j
