Breaking Through, Travelling On

Goldiegirl

I remember the 'passing of the files' shortly before I retired. I'd genuinely advanced the work as far as I possibly could, but the next bit was after I left. It was liberating, when I passed the work on. I tried not to grin too much while I was doing it!

O.K. it is definitely time for an eye test - just sat here for five minutes trying to figure out what the "passing of two flies" was code for! (and every one of those thoughts was a bit off-colour :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:)

And now you sound like a retired jail breaker... :eek:

Jail breaking ... rude thoughts ... dear me! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: :j

He took about 5 pages, the ratbag :rotfl:but we had a lovely meeting, and actually, some of the files can be shredded safely, without coming back to bite me.

I hitched a ride into my town centre to pay the hygienist in advance - it's the only way you can make an appointment :eek: which is a bit odd. I refused to do it other than in person, I've decided to be a bit more careful with my details ...

Tired, but still managed to chop a bit of the box hedge. And I've decided that two rhodendrons, including a tree version, are enough for my garden - there's a titchy version, waist height, and thats **going**, been snipping away at it. My garden will look massively wider when the hedges don't overhang by four feet any more :rotfl:Pretty pleased at the progress all round :j

Have I Got A Bit More News For You is calling, and there was a Cary Grant film online today too

Didn't get to grips with the tax paperwork

Still didn't been tidying the files, though, to take up less space, and in case Partner needs them (he does things like numbering the pages, and listing the year date, how inconvenient of him ) but by hook or by crook every file I have is going to fit into one box, possibly along with a couple of backup CDs holding the computer documents I have.

Kitchen table is devoted to last year's tax papers. I *will* get it done. Working with a client at 1pm, so I want to do it before then.

Hope all are well.

Good luck wth the paperwork KC! :j I do love some good sorted paperwork. I am fastidious at work (to the point if being laughed at by less organised colleagues) but quite hopeless at home. It's as if I haven't got *quite* enough brain power to do both. Oh dear!

I must get out in the garden too, I popped out at the weekend only to discover my emerging apples (apples, yay!!) Had withered and died as the tree is in a pot and I hadn't watered it all my own fault and incredibly vexing! So out into the garden I go. I will take inspiration from your little at a time philosophy rather than waiting til I can do it all at once.

Most annoying about the hygeinist! Wonder why they do that- too many missed appointments perhaps? Still, very inconvenient. Glad you've sorted the appointment though.

Three weeks?? Wow! :j :j is it weird if we all put it in or own diaries too?? :rptfl:

I know what you mean about that - I feel the same way about willpower - I have so much and no more, and then it's all he ll let loose

Poor apple tree! I have two trees in pots, and one of them is a cherry - before I realised quite how tall cherry trees grow (erm, 70 feet, anyone?). There's another one, too, thats never flowered. That one can go, I think, and maybe the cherry can be moved to the end, and I'll keep it in check this time ... maybe.

The little at a time thing is an absolute lifesaver - if I hadn't done that, my garden would be completely impenetrable - it still feels like crisis management, but I can see how things are actually getting better. I was out there this evening, snipping away at the rhodendron and holly caught up in the box hedge - I've reclaimed about two feet width of garden this week, thats a *lot* :j

Thanks Cheery! I really need it, to be honest. There's something funny going on with the charges, though. A private hygienist appointment costs £50, and an NHS hygienist appointment costs £53.70 - doesn't make sense!

Three weeks?? Wow! :j :j is it weird if we all put it in or own diaries too??

Go for it! Let's have a party :j:j:jI'll come on here when I finish in fact, I don't have anything booked that day, though I suspect someone *will*.

I'm starting to get farewell and thank you messages from ex-clients too, some with pictures of their kids ... I love meeting the kids :j

Funny day today - I was exhausted after work, though it went really well, and spent the morning using the washing machine, working on the client files and fetching an Amazon parcel - so the tax papers filing is *still* undone. Lets face it, I really, really don't want to do it, and I can't seem to make myself - prime example of what I've written sparked by Cheery as above - I don't have willpower for every section of my life!

Then the interweb connection went down and I could have easily thrown my toys out of the pram - but the guy was really good, he even found me a £5 a month saving - I've double-covered myself for calls to mobiles, apparently, and thats how much I could save. But there was static on the line, and he wanted to read the new agreement out, and I could hear ominous phrases but not much else. And he won't send me a written copy until I've agreed to it - fat chance! I had to bellow over the static "I don't agree" .... I'm sure I'll go ahead with it, if it's anything approaching what he described before the line static started, but I'm not prepared to agree to a contract verbally if I've no idea at all what its saying ....

Still, the garden was lovely :j
