This Time I'm Really Going To Do It

That's funny LauraJo. Mine was always 10 green bottles too though often I cant remember the words either. At the moment though I've found concentrating on the hoof falls and counting them works. Even if I can only count to 3

No stress hacking here because my feet are on the ground but I do sing her a song when she has her mouth wiped!

That's it. I've told an editor I will no longer be writing for her magazine. Part of the life declutter (84). Think I could have written a nicer email as all my issues with the writing came pouring out. Hey ho. I've done it now.
Product reviewing for another magazine has now come to an end (85). I'm counting that as a declutter as its part of freeing up my time, it didn't pay (although I did sell a few items on ebay) and I always seemed to be behind.

Boss of magazine just rang to apologise for all the issues and to ask me to stay. Have declined but have been given a lifetime subscription it would seem.

Alchemilla

Worth doing then? Do you feel free er?

Great going on the decluttering Watty ... in all aspects!

I applaud your new found confidence in the horsey world and in the work world :T I definitely have a couple of clients I should declutter too

Nice that the main boss phoned you though, even if it was too late to make a difference.

What will you do with the time, do you think, take up that whole investment malarkey instead?

What's with all this confidence! Share it out

Thanks Yes I do feel a bit freer although truthfully the 2 jobs did not take up a lot of my time but they took up space in my head and ended up on a to do list and I had to think about them if that makes sense. The product reviewing was fun but neither job actually paid to cover the time input.


Yesterday evening took handsome baby out for a hack with neighbour and her lovely horse. Again we did the fields. Was a bit nervous but I did it and I had fun.
This diary and concentrating on the overpayment has really helped me look at my work life. Most of the time I am stressed and feel I am underachieving and I am not earning equal to the time input. As I've written the diary I realised I wanted to become a confident rider and have fun with my horses rather than be tied up with work.
I'm not sure how starting a diary to focus on the overpayment ended up being a bit of life sort out as well but it seems to have done :rotfl:

Someone drove into back of my car. Luckily Mr Watty says there is no serious damage (phew). Am hoping to keep ancient car going till the end of the mortgage. We laughingly call it "the classic" here as is so old and after the shock of being hit (on M25 in a jam) I was worried there would be damage that would be too expensive to repair. Luckily the classic has survived
