Caz counts it down

One file (out of five short-ish ones to do before the end of Sunday) sent back to NEL, who replied to tell me I was 'pure, dead brilliant'

No work all week from the agency (I'm not on shift tomorrow because of having the electricity meter swapped), so on the grounds that they really must be very quiet, I've removed myself from what would have been my last Sunday night proofreading shift. If I'm going to be finishing off NEL's files over the weekend, I don't really want to be up late on Sunday night too.

I'll try and get scores done tomorrow morning before the Hydro pulls the plug on me - fingers crossed they might be fairly good

Right, scores on the doors before the electricity men turn up.

Gah, tick season has begun Finn had a couple of scabs between his front legs the other day - I thought he'd just managed to stab himself on the waist-high remains of last year's docks in next door's fields (the person who had the fields for hay last year didn't spray them), but when I checked them this morning there were swollen lumps underneath the size of my thumbnail :eek::eek: He let me pick the scabs off and there in the middle of each one was a dead, fat tick :mad::mad::mad::mad: He hasn't had one for a couple of years and I'd completely forgotten how badly he reacts to them. Off to the vet for a tick-removal tool today then....

That's a thunderingly good reduction in the business overdraft this week - great going!

Ticks are the very devil. My dog, alas no longer with me, used to pick them up as she was short coated and thin skinned (a Hungarian Vizsla). She got daily tick inspections from April to November - lots of bracken where we used to go walking. The tick removal tools do the job really well.

Thank you I actually had a look at my Fotolia account after you posted that and found I'd got 7.49 credits in it (you can't withdraw until you reach 50 and a credit is worth 75p) from sales, so I think I'm going to take all my pictures off Alamy, where I've never sold anything, and start uploading more to Fotolia - haven't put anything new on it in years.

I've spent the afternoon getting my accounts ready for my accountant - all I have to do tomorrow is burn the files to a CD and write a covering letter. Another three Elance bids were sent out (one of which has already been rejected, I see, let's have a look...oh, it went to a Canadian lady who was prepared to transcribe an hour's interview for $48 versus my $60, okay), one of which is a $500 job, so fingers crossed again. I'm taking it much less personally when someone rejects one of my proposals now

He seems fine, thanks Actually managed to get their rugs off this afternoon after heavy snow yesterday afternoon and evening - the weather is a bit nuts at the moment. Hoping all the baby veggies have survived.

Orders went out this morning, I did an hour's work for Mr RPC, then sat down for the first of NEL's files. It took me an hour to do seven minutes, not because the audio was bad, it was crystal clear, I just really wasn't in the mood and kept getting distracted by Facebook. So I decided to do something productive instead, cleaned the kitchen, went through the coffee table drawer in the living room (big job!), cleaned the living room, changed the bed sheets and put away all the clean washing Kondo-style.

Ready to attack the transcription bright and early tomorrow morning

Lovely productive day for you. I get more done when I am procrastinating....ironically.
