An hour down doing stuff and I'm making progress.
Today I need to :
- clear the ironing pile
- finish the last sewing jobs (Securing buttons on a coat belonging to DD and repairing a pair of slipper boots also belonging to DD),
- clean up DDs custom shoes (they've been drying for a few days so it should be safe for me to attack them now)
- After lunch get surveys etc done. There's not much in the way of paid work for me to do until Wednesday when my delivery arrives
This week:
Mon: DD at choir, prep cookery
Tue: DD Cookery, Pay CT
Wed: Delivery, DD to get main packing done (no time the rest of the week between homework & work), Text cook
Thur: Books & deliveries Thur Evening, school delivery morning
Fri: Bank, errands; DD going away (5pmish)
Weekend: |DD away until Sun.

Well. My trampoline buyer: "oh sorry Hun yeah my cards got used online so I've had to cancel them, can you keep it till next Thu Hun?"
Yeah right! Of course they did "Hun" (ugh hate that, esp when used to a complete stranger!
So tis back up for sale.
To cap it all our data team are running late, they sent me a file to check at 11.25 saying it needs to go at 11.30 could I look over it please? In 5 minutes? That's 1 minute per page assuming i can type a response at the speed of light. And there are errors. Their mess, they can fix it this time.
Gah.
And breathe! :rotfl:
I'm practicing my new "how to be more effective" plan, it's keeping me focused (so far) think I need to share it with a few colleagues

Hi all
I'm in as best I can again this week; I shall just do whatever my aching, recalcitrant bones will allow me to do.
I finally admitted to Mr LW this morning that I actually feel ashamed of what this dratted illness has made of me - a crippled, achey mess who can't even manage basics like dressing myself any more.:( I think it was only lying awake (again!!) last night that I realised it is indeed shame that I feel.:(
Anyways; 'nuff of that. Jasper has had a walk round the field this morning; he made friends with a young miniature Schnauzer named Tilly, so he's happy. Poo suitably deposited in the poo bin on the way home. I've also done some running repairs on his toy pheasant (he's a Cocker Spaniel, so I suppose it's an apt toy) as he'd got the wings nearly off it.
I've also done his postcard to take home; and I want to give him a good brush before he's picked up this afternoon. Once he's gone, I'll hoover (he's scared of the hoover) but he may be late going - the franchisee is meant to pick him up at 15:30, but is driving back from a weekend conference in (I think) Lancaster, so may be delayed.
Luckily Jasper's owners sent a couple of extra meals along, so if he needs to have his tea here, he can.
Didn't get the dirt shifted after all at the weekend - we just ran out of time; but Ellie & Coco aren't coming til June 21st, so we have time.
OK, I'm off to pour myself another :coffee: and get Jasper's brush. Anyone wanna join me?If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -

I have been on facetime to my sister for a good hour so that's taken up my time for a while. I have emptied, reloaded and started the DW. The kitchen is bogging! I have removed 5 large items from the side and put them in the recycling bin too!
